Fun hanging with Miki KG tonight. We ate at an okonomiyaki restaurant; I was polite as possible; we served each other (she showed the way) and chatted lots. She asked most of the questions.

I showed her the Japanese I had written recently, including the kanji for shinkansen. She corrected one hiragana (the rest had been corrected by Ayana) and I gave her some English grammar on 1/2 a piece of paper that included a single "shinkansen" written on the top.

We walked around Cinecitta, and planned to see Kill Bill on Thursday. I verified three times that though there is a lot of blood, she still wants to see the movie. Yes, yes, yes.

Walked in the new building across from the movie place to see what's up in there and were yammering a bit when she told me that the UFO catchers had live lobsters in them a couple years ago.

"Miki." I said matter of factly like, you know it's not polite to lie.

But she assured me it was true. Well, I have seen fighting betas in UFO catchers; and in fact, that was only a few days ago (well, a week now) right downstairs at the game center. Kimashyou.

There were no fighting betas in a UFO catcher, but we walked around the entire area, marveling at how people could be so smitten by the games.

I've just read the script to Kill Bill. Well the first half that makes up the first movie. Now I'll have a far better chance of understanding the Japanese during the movie.
