Rotten Tomatoes

There's a website called Rotten Tomatoes where you can read many reviews of new movies. I use it to decide what new movies I want to see. According to the site, The Bourne Ultimatum is a pretty good movie. Maybe I'll see that when it comes out in Japan... I wonder when that is?

The Countryside

I'm sure I'd like to live in a more rural environment, if only there were fewer insects. I like the quiet and solitude, but I can't deal with spiders as big as my hands routinely stopping by my house. Yes, spiders are not insects, I know. In fact, spiders EAT most insects, which I should be happy about. But none of this brings me peace of mind when I see one of those many-legged monsters walking about. The only positive thing I can say about them is that they're not centipedes.

Harry Potter

I saw the new Harry Potter movie this weekend.

It was OK. I can't get into the Harry Potter series so much, though. Maybe I'm just too old. Some people say the books are much better than the movies - so maybe I should give the books a try. Maybe I'll find some interesting passages to use in class.

Fuji-Q Thailand

Over the long weekend, I took a trip to Fuji-Q Highland. They have some very fun roller coasters - I think my favorite was "Eejanaika". They also had a promotion called "Fuji-Q Thailand" running, and there were little booths selling Thai food out in front of the roller coaster "Fujiyama". Their food was really good, so I ended up going there 3 different times during that one day. I enjoyed the rides more than the food, but only barely!
