i miss japanese

I'm depressed today so I went shopping at FNAC. They have books and music and video games and everything there. I found a book in English (because I wanted something to just read for fun) by Peter Carey about him and his son in Japan. It's really good so far. I also found a Japanese culture center in Paris that is showing anime movies almost every night so I'm going to go. Maybe I can meet someone who knows of a club I can go to...

I also returned library books, went to MICEFA (I'm taking lit/cinema and paris history...so I'm ALMOST running at fulltime now. Need one or two more classes...) and had lunch. Tonite Emanuel, Emily, and I are cooking curry. They are going to the Louvre but I'm going to see an anime about something that is ghostly and floating...i dunno that word...i should look it up lol Watching anime with French subtitles is a good vocab source if you take notes XD

I'm not really in the mood to study. I've been kinda slacking cuz I'm in such a lousy mood. Yesterday I finally went and saw Kié La Petite Peste...it's an anime from the 80s, very nostalgic. Quite a crazy movie as well. It's about a little girl who has a dad who gambles all the time and is a tough guy who beats up yakuza lol and her mom left but they end up back together. Anyhow the girl is pretty tough too and works at a bar and she's really little and hits boys who tease her with planks of wood lol. The really strange part though is this subplot about these cats. She has a cat and one of the yakuza guys has a cat. They are both very buff and they end up fighting and it's a big contest but the little girl's cat wins. The weird part is how big a part of the plot the cat's testicles are o_o (or that they are even there at all) because see...the tough cat Antonio looses one in this fight and then he gets killed by a dog later and aiie it's just bizarre and too complicated to explain because the son of Antonio (Antonio Jr) shows up and wants to fight the little girl's cat and they exhume the severed testicle (which has been dipped in gold or something and buried in a box in the cemetary o_o) to witness his revenge. It's really strange. It probably sounds more strange if you haven't seen the movie lol. Anyhow it was really cute and silly. It's especially cool because it's so oldschool. The music, the animation...*cry* I'm really excited to go see more tonite, especially since it's so much cheaper!!

Anyhow after the move I went home and ate with Dan and then we went out for ice cream (FINALLY) I had pistachio, macadamia nut crunch, and that crazy banana flavor, a scoop of each. Then I went home and listened to The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy for an hour, got insanely tired while playing Fire Emblem, and went to bed.

Hopefully next week will go better, altho I think this net café will be closed. Maybe that's ok because I spend too much time (read: money) here anyhow.

The other thing that is cool about that Peter Carey book is that it's like a travelogue too so maybe it will give me ideas of things to talk about in here. I should try to make it more exciting.
