Films galore oh my!
Today I have pretty much spent the entirety watching a screen with moving pictures and accompanying sounds.
This term my "japanese cinema" module involves, as the name suggests, a lot of film watching. So in preparation for that I joined www.lovefilm.com (ask me if you want a 30 day free trial ;))
This led me to be watching porn (or what could be basically summed up as porn) this morning. Ironically whilst my mother was in church, oh how she knows not her daughter. But no! Don't get me wrong I wasn't watching out of my own selfish carnal desires, I had to watch it! (honest guv) For this week I present the 1970s sex film industry in Japan to my class.
For those interested the film was "The realm of the senses" or "愛のコリーダ", and involves a _lot_ of sex, SM, a knife and a certain part of the male anatomy.
After that I watched Casshern, another Japanese film, but gave up after an hour of utter boring nonsensical rubbish. I may watch the end tomorrow before I return them.
In the late afternoon I headed over to a friends for dinner, whereafter we watched silly reality TV, a lot of scrubs and a film, "hope springs" that was on telly. Through which all 3 of us (my friend and her mum) were knitting constantly. I'm so glad I can pretty much knit without looking at my work so I can watch the TV properly. You also kinda knit automatically and then are suprised when you do look down at how much you've done!
Japanese proficiency test in 6 weeks, I'm not too worried given the pass score is 60% and over, but I'm not gonna get complacent and really need to strengthen my weak spots.
TIP OF THE DAY: Sweetened soya milk + porridge oats = tasty porridge!
