Shut up and let me go!

I should just title things by what song I'm listening to. Makes it easier. Have a feeling that wouldn't fly on term papers, though.

Had the JLPT practice test today. I showed up late because I'm really lazy, and when I got there there were two girls standing outside of the room looking terrified. I asked if this was the room, and the girl said "Yes, but the teacher said if we showed up late it would be locked." I got the impression that that meant we were locked out, so we spent about 5 minutes knocking on the door, but the REALLY LOUD teacher from the other class was speaking on the microphone and we could hear him clearly with the door closed, so nobody heard us knocking.

After they spent time trying to figure out how to call the teacher on a cell phone, I walked up to the door (there were two doors to the classroom) and just well... I opened it.

Now I don't know if I have some heretofore unbeknownst to me mystical unlocking ability or if the door was open the whole time. I'm gonna go with the former, though, cause that'd be pretty cool. (This is completely neglecting all the locked doors I had problems with the rest of the day.)

I did get this shot after class, and for some reason I'm proud of it:



Got another one in a bigger resolution as well, but that'd take forever to upload.

Anyways, I also saw a Nifty Studio! Production, which is basically the film club on campus and my friend is a cameraman for it.


There he is looking pimp, while our American friend looks like he's contemplating suicide.

Since it's an student film that you have NO POSSIBILITY OF SEEING EVER, NOT EVER WHATSOEVER NO NOPE NOT AT ALL, I can spoil it in great detail for you.

Film was called Mobius Loop (yeah, like that Mobius Loop). Starts off with some guys at a party, and they all get tanked and pass out at this other guy's apartment. Then for some reason this one guy poisons this other guy, and when he passes out he touches the guy's forehead with his.

Turns out he's a weird monster thing called a Hermit, and hermits needs to transfer bodies in order to live, and the ones that they inhabit decay at varying rates. Of course this film had no budget, so this was sort of just said instead of shown.

Anyways, this guy had inhabited the body of someone who had a girlfriend apparently, which is a big nono, you're supposed to yoink shut ins and such. So the girl finds out, makes a big fuss, he lies to her about how it happened, his boss finds out and sends a guy to kill them, blah blah blah. The movie had a good premise, but lack of budget meant no fight scenes where they were set up (if a guy comes at you with a HUGE KNIFE, that should have people fighting, I don't care what you say) and it was really weird seeing so many familiar locations in a movie considering 80% of it was filmed ON CAMPUS.

I'd give it 6 outta 10 but you'll never see it, so who cares, it could be the best thing I've ever seen and you'd never know. But it did suffer from Japanese "never get directly to the point" syndrome.

Last point of contention: I totally watched the Inauguration address. Live.

IN JAPANESE.

ON MY NINTENDO DS.

It was irritating. I wanted to hear what Obama was saying but the Japanese translator was louder.

Anyways, to experience it just like me, play any annoying japanese video and stare at these photo.



Enjoy!
