Thanks to my mean comment sender, I've decided to disallow anonymous comments. I considered incorporating sford's user login technique, and only letting logged in people leave messages, but then I figured out a far easier technique.

Hiromi

Hung out with Hiromi during lunch. First time for us to talk, really. She said she wanted to hang out with me more. I've never had a Japanese woman so forward with me; we'll see how it goes. (It reminds me of Bonnie. (who I can't find in my journal for some reason. Was she pre-online-journal?))

Kill Bill promotion

9:38pm JST Sunday 11 April 2004

Kill Bill Vol. 2 comes out in Japan on 24 April. I invited Shoko to see it with me. She said she was interested in seeing Kill Bill Vol. 1 first. She suggested that we invite more people. She actually said (translated) "only 2 people seeing it is not good, right?" Uh, right, of course. But she didn't have any suggestions of who to invite (*) or where to watch the movie with more than two people. (Two people can just watch it on my computer)

(*) this is an example of the kind of thing that feeds the stereotype of Japanese women.

(( I've just spent 45 minutes reading some of what google found. ))

(8:30am ooh just felt a cute little earthquake too!)

Okay anyway jeez the point of the story is I took a bit of a risk (for me) and decided to act on my idea of having the party here at my apartment in the TV room. I wrote KILL BILL VOL 1 9PM FRIDAY IN THE TV ROOM on the message board and suggested the idea to everyone who visited the TV room that night. Everyone seemed to like the idea, except possibly John who (I think jokingly) was like, "Friday night is my TV night," but then later never admitted to that claim.

This gives me a hint of what would be required to self promote a business or a book or something.
