Almost Done

Had my Japanese final Speaking and Listening test today. Didn't go that bad. Not bad at all. Now I just have to get through the reading and writing final on Saturday (at 8 in the freaking morning!) and it'll all be over. Then I get to spend the next few days after that finishing off our rough Japan travel itinerary. And getting set for our West coast adventure. Once Carla and I get back from that it'll be less than a month untill we fly away to the land of the rising sun. Fuck. Time goes by pretty god damn fast.

Also, Zatoichi was a pretty fun flick. The digital blades and blood were distracting and there were scenes that went on longer than I thought necessary. But I reckon that is due to the whole Japanese aesthetic. Most Japanese movies have a much different pace than I am used to. Which is probably why their horror movies seem so scary. They don't conform to the usual horror "beats".

But back to Zatoichi: good.

Japanese is taking upp all of my time. It's not an easy language to learn. Hopefully I will be able to blog a bit more in a week's time.
