We've got a list of what we are going to do on our holiday and I am intensely curious to know whether we will actually do even some of the activities on it. Here is a sample:
- Goto Japanese Film event on July 17th to see Uchoten Hoteru
- Ingersoll Cheese with Mr. Singh Fresh Dairy Products
- Go to Kleinburg to see the weird dioramas
- Book a Massage
- See Mom and Dad
- Shaw Fest
- House Project: The bathroom
- House Project: The basement
- House Project: convert videos to avi’s.
- Get a copy of Now and Xtra on Thursday
- Royal Botanical Gardens
- See UP in 3D
- Sheridan Nurseries
- Garden
We saw Uchôten Hoteru tonight. It was rather long at almost two and a half hours. It was riveting for me from begining to end. It was charming, delightful, and wonderful. We went to a short reception after the film. We had amazing food and I had a little wine. It was almost spoiled by Mr. Corn Nuts who brought out a tub of nuts before the film started and proceeding to eat every last one all before the film began. It is terrible and loud. People were lookng at him and one fellow just up and moved before the movie started. Yeah you'll be able to hear the corn nut sounds on my podcast at http://www.ninja-radio.com/ . Perhaps next week. I don't know when I'll be able to post.
The movie was a mainstream success in Japan and aboard. As Scarborough Dude said, it's much more interesting when you know as much about Japan culture and the differences between the West and Japan as he does. Well Special K and I know a little. But just a little. Very Robert-Altmanesque.
Knock off number 1 from the list.
