Today I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Sadly there was no Brendan Gleeson in it, though. At the cottage we briefly discussed the movie and I confessed that I had no idea what happened in the book. "Wait a minute," Maikeru said, "wasn't that the book where you said Dumble drank himself to death?". Indeed it was. He drank and drank and then he keeled over. I guess, at least the fact that they managed to make the scene at least a little touching instead of almost painfully unintentionally funny like it was in the book goes to the production teams credit.
I also picked up my visa, which the nice people at the embassy had prepared for me. The guy at the embassy ticks me off a little though. First of all, he gave me some bullshit info about my visa and the expiry date on the Certificate of Eligibility. Second, he doesn't even speak any japanese. So, neither do I, really, but I should still have his job. I'm obviously better qualified for it.
In other news, it seems that Errol Flynn RPS doesn't exist...
