*gurgle gurgle…* my dreamcatcher definitely had a malfunction last nite. im not even going to ask why i dreamt what i did, but i did so ill just accept that. so there i am, decked out in…ahem, ring mail, brandishing a swishy long sword…and im in some kind of town hall meeting/tutorial about roaming vana’diel. yea, thats right…i dreamt i was in final fantasy xi. nevermind mind that ive never even played the game before, or how i even knew i was inside the game. i just knew. and it wasnt even that exciting either. i hooked up with two other newbies, and we kind of just roamed aimlessly around the countryside, checking out our armours and trying to coordinate our wardrobes. not exactly what i had in mind. i did however have the nicest shield amongst the three of us. wtf.
i finished off haibane renmei last nite…pretty poignant ending. i was hoping that they would answer more of the questions i had about the series (like what a haibane was…or what was beyond the wall), but at the same time i wasnt really expecting them to. alot of it was left for the viewer to determine…and i did. but definitive answers wouldnt have hurt either. ah well. i actually tossed on more anime on my netflix queue…so ill be anime-ing for a while. next up is magical shopping arcade abenobashi. and yea, i already have the japanese dvds. but there were a number of instances where the subtitles on the japanese version were a little confusing, so im getting the american release for clarification. and besides, the series rocks.
ADDENDUM
oh yea, and i just got my first email notification for the upcoming ny asian film festival…woohoo! theyre right around the corner…from june 18th to the 27th, so id better start planning. last years was the first one i attended, and i went to see four movies from the lineup…sympathy for mr. vengeance, ping pong, bounce ko-gals, and the phone. they have a few well-known movies on their lineup for this year, including hero, infernal affairs, and two of the juons…so maybe ill finally get to see hero on the big screen. tho the lineup hasnt been finalized yet, im hoping that they manage to add twilight samurai to the lineup, since id heard alot of good things about the movie. the current list is also primarily japanese movies at the moment, so hopefully theyll have as diverse a lineup as they did last year…
