  • Well, I could of sworn I put that post somewhere....

    Well, ok.. now that I have all your attention let's review whats been happening the past few weeks.

    JJ is going very well.. yes.. very well indeed. The hardware is working
    out wonderfully and I don't have to worry about someone literally
    crushing my nuts in a move... it's like Samurai Battle Armour, only
    about 75lbs lighter and more roomy.. anyhow I degress.

    This coming Saturday Sensei's Sensei will be down for a kick ass 7 hour
    seminar similar to the one that I did in NS last year (I do believe)...
    I will also have the privilage of video taping not only this seminar,
    but a special Sunday seminar where I get to see the techniques from
    White all the way to Blue. I am truly honoured.

    Speaking of martial arts, I have been looking for Akira Kurosawa's
    'Seven Samurai' for a number of years and have never found it... Last
    Friday I found the motherload.

    It's the Criterion collection of Akira Kurosawa's 'Sever Samurai', 'The
    Hidden Fortress', ' and the films that launched the 'Spaghetti Western
    movement in Italy': Yojimbo and Sanjuro... It cost me a peny or
    too.  Also, Sensei recommended that if I could find it the
    mini-series: James Clavell's - Shogun. To my surprise it was there as
    well, and I had to swipe it up... overall $300 later...

    But I just finished Shogun last night and I must say it was an amazing
    series... I haven't watched the bonus edition DVD yet, but I will.

    Seven Samurai and the other films will be next week. That's my plan and I'm sticking too it...

    I also broke up the Zatoichi: The Blindswordsman (remake) and I must
    say that movie was also really well done. Not cheesy at all.

    Happy Birthday to me... another year older...god time flies

    It was a quite bday... 26, went to work... came home, went out to
    dinner with family, grandparents... got drunk on Crown and Coke... and
    then finished a half of a half bottle of Sake that I had purchased and
    never finished...

    That was about it.. came into work today witha slight hangover, but it was a quite day as well...

    Nothing to report.

    Movie time ... Movie Time!

    Last Friday and Saturday I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I thought this film
    was  a great pre-film for Batman Begins, which starts this
    Wednesday.. Due to JJ I wont be seeing it until Friday night ... I have
    a feeling that this film (batman) will give the franchise the necessary
    boost it so desperately needed...

    But right now i need sleep and I have Boo on my lap

    Vx tired and blurry eyed... ...zzzzzzzzz
