The 4th of July. Another one of those horrible days when mail isn't delivered. And also the day when the nation in which I live was formed or something a couple hundred years ago. There are also fireworks, and those are pretty cool. Sundays are my least favorite day of the week because mail isn't delivered. It's super boring.
This is probably gonna be one of those I waited forever before posting so it ends up really long posts. Fair warning. So I mentioned in my last post from over 2 weeks ago that I had been watching j-dramas and a movie. Well I also read a book. Anyway, sum-up post. I'll try to be brief since there's a lot of ground to cover:
I watched the movie, SP: Yabou-hen. Rather than feeling like I was watching a movie it felt like I was just watching another episode of Security Police, which is a good thing coming from me. The only difference seemed to be higher production values.
I watched all of JOKER Yurusarezaru Sosakan. Police drama, yay! I really enjoyed the moral/ethical questions it raised. I would recommend it. Right now. Watch it.
I watched all but the final arc of 0 Goshitsu no Kyaku. Pretty corny, but having people face their own worth was an interesting concept overall. I also like happy, feel-good endings every so often.
I started watching Ryuusei no Kizuna. Four episodes in, and I still don't really get it. All the individual pieces of the show make sense, but I still don't understand how it all fits together. Oh well, still pretty early in it.
I have two episodes left on Tokujo Kabachi. Kinda over-the-top, but it works. Pretty enjoyable and the characters are easy to relate to.
Since I've read the manga, I wanted to watch the Liar Game drama. I've gotten through the first season and started the second season. I was a bit disappointed they didn't spend as much time with Nao's character development, but they seemed to be going for a slightly different message with her character, so I can understand it. Anyway, the mind games and crazy plotting are all still there, so I'm happy with it.
I read The Hunger Games, and cried a bunch while reading it. It really had a lot of depth to it, with so many things going on in one little book. I wanna read the next book in the series soon.
I also got my copy of Arashi's Scene Dome+ dvds and watched it, and it was all amazing! I got the LE, so watching all the extras was fun too. <3

Koda Kumi, just because.
