Lucky Number Sleven
I also watched Lucky Number Sleven over the weekend. It was pretty good! In the style of “The Usual Suspects”, an interesting movie with a high-powered cast.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire / Jarvis Cocker!?
So this is a strange one. On the weekend I do a lot of work from home, programming, some stuff for fun (some programming on side-projects, translating manga so I don’t forget how to like, read Japanese) and so on. I like to play bad movies when I’m doing this. So, I finally got around […]

Mystery Jets Concert
I’m going back and posting up quick notes on the concerts I’ve seen in the past few months. I haven’t had the chance to see many shows, since they cost anywhere from 5,000円 to 6,500円 a show. There are cheaper concerts for lesser-known local acts, but I haven’t had the time to get into that […]

Shake, Rattle, and Roll
I woke up this morning at 6:39am thanks to a small earthquake. At least, I think it was small. It registered a 4 on the Japanese scale in Setagaya-ku, but I don’t really know how that translates. In some of the earthquake materials I’ve read, a 4 is enough to possibly unstack your dishes and […]

Mirror Mask
MirrorMask IMDB page This was a movie that I actually watched, over dinner after a long day coding. I was interested in this one because it is from Neil Gaiman, who I once saw open a Magnetic Fields concert with a reading, and the Jim Henson Creature Shop, which has done excellent work on all […]
