Hung out with Jimmy today and worked on my roller coaster book. He sketched out steps to complete a $50-$100 coffee table book, and steps for a smaller softback type book. Good stuff.

Munched spaghetti and I borrowed his Tsutaya card to rent Kill Bill Vol 1 because I didn't trust that Andrew had rented it. (( Last night, knowing that I would be at Japanese class at 10am today and then hanging out with Jimmy, and knowing that today was the first day Kill Bill would be available for rental (starting at 10am), and knowing that Andrew didn't have anything else to do (he's kickin' it jobless style until he moves to Kyushu in 2 weeks for work), I gave Andrew 1000 yen and my Tsutaya card and asked if he would rent Kill Bill for me before it's sold out. And then call me when he got it or if he confirmed he could not get it. Either way, call me. He said, "I'll try," and I let him off the hook instead of saying fuck that I'll ask somebody else. I recognize that I gave away my power and can't hold him liable for not following through. He said I'll try, and I let it go. )) It's possible that there will still be copies available when I get home in 20 minutes, but I didn't want to take that chance; plus I don't have my Tsutaya card readily available.

I devoured several chocolate chip cookies and a cup of ice cream (after the good sized bowl of spaghetti and chicken) as we discussed possibilities for the book. Good stuff.

I emailed a bunch of pictures to his work, with which he will put together some sample layouts for the book. Awesome.

Thanks, Magnet.

Kill Bill vol.1

12:08am JST Saturday 17 April 2004

Watching Kill Bill was fun. Andrew was the only one who joined me from 9pm, but Jackie donated a bucket of microwave popcorn to the cause. Andrew had rented the film, but didn't call me. Turned out to be a good thing that he didn't call me, though; he had rented a dubbed-to-Japanese version of the film. If he had called me, "I got the tape," and then it turned out to be in Japanese, that wuld have been a d'oh! moment.

Watched the movie and laughed at the ridiculously copious blood. Wow.

Matteo came down and watched starting around 9:30; he was surprised that we started it at 9, which surprised us since it's been written on the whiteboard all week. KILL BILL FRIDAY 9PM IN THE TV ROOM. I guess some advertising misses its intended mark.

Yay. I can hear the group downstairs is watching the movie. I'm in bed for the night, though; I have to be at work at 10am.
