Well, Yuki and I went out with some high school friends last night to see the Matrix. It rocked. Except for the cheezy parts... ;)

Warning: I may spoil the movie for you, so stop reading here if you haven't seen it.

I think the best parts were seeing the guy in the mech suit in Zion, and seeing the Smith jump onto the car on the highway, crushing the hood. The flying scenes and other effects were great too. I actually found the part with the haughty German dude in the restaurant interesting and refreshingly different. The so-called plot was pretty non-existent though.

It was nice to see my high-school friends again. Many are in the D.C. area now, and more will be in New York soon... It's only 5 hours to New York by car, so it's not too bad. :)

I got a chimichanga at a restaurant in Georgetown before the show, and my friend mistakenly called it chichi manga, which we all know in Japanese would have meant "breast comic book." ;D We had a good laugh over that. Sometimes stupid things are the funniest, but have to be experienced in person. This all led to an interesting discussion on certain bawdier aspects of Japanese culture.

We went to the new theatre complex in Georgetown which has something like 17 theatres all with stadium seating. It's awesome. But it's always a nightmare driving in Georgetown. There's no subway stop there because the residents thought it would allow the bums and dregs to get there more easily. Not a good enough reason if you ask me. Luckily, I found a great parking lot for only 5 bucks. :)
