More Snow With a Side of Bananas

It snowed through this weekend which left a bunch of ice and melting snowmen in my parking lot. The snow on Saturday night made almost every taxi driver disappear which made it a bitch trying to get home. The past few days have been the coldest I've experienced since I've been here. Though I think I've been here too long since now 5°C is freezing to me. Australia is 3 days away, with a night in Osaka tomorrow. Last I heard, it was 36°C in Sydney! Eat it! I arrive in Sydney on Dec. 22 and leave for Brisbane on the 24th, then back to Sydney on the 29th for New Years and finally back to Japan on Jan. 4th. Its gonna be massive!

I caught King Kong at the theatres on Friday. It was awesome. Probably one of the best movies I've seen all year. It was also the first time I've seen a movie in the theatres in almost six months. Watching movies in the theatres as opposed to watching a Telescene copy on my tv truly does make a difference. Though a dvdrip usually wins over paying 1800Yen ($18CDN) in my books, King Kong is a worthy exception. The "Kong vs. the three T-Rexes" scene alone was well worth the money and the time (187 minutes!).

That's it for now.
