Slow weekend…

So today I went to Ono’s with my roommate again in Westwood. We had actually planned to go to the sushi place by Rite Aid, but that place was closed since it was Sunday. Unfortunately Ono’s didn’t live up to the reputation of its glory days of yore, and we felt very disappointed after ordering our usual BBQ Mix #4 (rice, macaroni salad, 갈비 ribs, chicken, and beef).

But at least I went to a Korean bar/restaurant yesterday in K-town with my good friend Jake (a.k.a. Yoon-san). I had some beer and chicken (hot wings)… it was really excellent. We talked a lot about girls, religion, and people in general and it was very fun. Hopefully I’ll get to go to a 노래방 (Karaoke bar) in the future with him and some other people…

And for those who are interested I am watching an anime called Honey & Clover in my free time. It’s very funny, and a bit reminiscent of the style in Azumanga Daioh, but toned down a bit. The rhythm of the plot of each episode is so well paced that I don’t even notice the passage of time as much as I do in other anime.

Peace.

“La Rue Cases-Nègres”

J'ai vu un bon film, "La Rue Cases-Nègres" sur le site de ma classe hier soir, en ligne. Le film est une adaptation d'un roman qui a été publié pour la première fois en 1950 (écrit par Joseph Zobel). Le personnage principal est un petit garçon appelé "Jose" qui habite dans une communauté des travailleurs des champs des cannes à sucres. Il a un vieux ami, un vieux homme qui s'appelle "Medouze," un homme avec les histoires de ses ancêtres d'Afrique.

J'ai appris quelques choses de ce film, dans la scène de la discussion entre Medouze et Jose dans le champ en plein air. Medouze lui a dit que le feu et l'eau ne sont pas ennemis. Plutôt, ces éléments sont les forces de la nature. Le feu, ainsi que l'eau, donne la vie aux choses du monde. Et l'homme ne peut pas recréer la vie; il peut seulement la détruire. Puis, l'homme a toujours un besoin des choses qui viennent de la nature, et il faut qu'il ait un savoir de ça.

J'aimais ce film beaucoup, et le recommande à tout le monde. Bonne nuit.

At the bar…

So today I spent my evening with a couple of Japanese friends, and we ended up going to a Japanese bar. It was interesting, and although I only had 2 beers, it was still very fun and exciting. I'll definitely go again, given a chance.

I was talking to my new friend Junpei, and somehow my going to law school this fall came up during the conversation. Apparently, I look very mature as a person and highly motivated to go to law school. Hooray.
