More Current Week stuff

Let see. How has my week gone. First off, it was good!

I'm watching Fringe now in my apartment because it is raining outside. I was going to rent something today anyway, and this series looked interesting to me. I know, I know. I probably should have rented something that was uniquely Japanese, but I couldn't decide. To be excessively honest, I really want to see Scott Pilgrim again. However, it doesn't seem to have made it to Japan yet. I even went down to Diamond City (A gigantic mall that takes me about 15-20 minutes to get to by bicycle) and checked out their movie theatre. Besides that something-something Arietty, there wasn't a movie that I might want to see. I was a little dissappointed.

Oh, where was I? I meant to talk a little bit about Fringe. Simply wow. From a science fiction geek perspective, this is a must-see series. My best description is this: Take the series NUMB3RS switch all the mathmatics into pseudo science (or 'Fringe' science, to keep in step with the series), then tack on some fast-paced spy-based intrique, and add in a cranky old genius, that is the proper recipe for Fringe. Watching the series kind of makes me feel like I'm watching the makings of a modern Jules Verne. The imaginative genius behind of all the future sciences and weapons rivals even that of Eureka's mad happenings or perhaps it surpasses them.

Of course, this is only my assessment at this point. I am only on the fourth episode right now. Oh, that's right, I failed to mention that I rented the first half of the first season. Hehehe. It seemed more cost-effective to rent the first eleven episodes in their 750en pack than to rent the six cds separately for a total of about 2400 yen or so. The end result is that I have seven days to get through about 550 minutes of TV series stuff. The problem is the lack of a place to sit and watch in my room.

I have this fold up lawn chair type deal that I am using as a chair. Imagine that, I am using a chair as a chair. Idiosyncricies aside, I pulled one of the suitcases out of my closet to act as a desk. I rather like the setup, but I suppose if I had to come up with a complaint, the chair is a little too tall for the lower level of the desk.

Well, I guess I am tired enough to talk about the most inane of things right now, therefore I am ending my movie seqway.
