Do today

9:43am JST Wednesday 26 January 2005

Three things to do today:

A) put stuff from my desk into my scrapbook.

2) measure the knotboards, rename the pictures to indicate their sizes, send the pics to Testuya.

#) send a box to janette.

Okay, go!

That is the URL of the place we stayed on Mt Fuji. But the server is down.

Awesome. I just watermailed (not airmailed) a big box to janette. 4550 yen and it should take three weeks.

This means I've finished (A) and (#) above.

And now I've finished measuring the knotboards. Gotta email the pics to Tetsuya now.

The Grudge

11:27pm JST Wednesday 26 January 2005

Saw The Juon, a movie filmed in Tokyo and released in the US as The Grudge.

It was scary. I am not as scared by Hannibal or movies that could happen, ... but supernatural movies scare me more. I'm not sure why. This is a supernatural movie; and they had interesting scenes that mixed and matched time dimensions, so our heroine was viewing/experiencing the pre-story in the haunted house.

Some of the scare tactics were like the American version of The Ring, creepy with a layer of teasing on top like, "look what's happening now boo!!!"

A nice thing is that apparently we got to see this movie weeks before it will be released in Japan. It would be cooler if it were true for a crazy popular movie, but it's like my own little secret; yeah, I already saw it.
