最終兵器彼女

日本にいる間に全巻買って、最近読み始めたまんが、「最終兵器彼女」。とりあえず、2巻まで読んだ。正直言うと、面白いけど、台詞とかに現実味がなさそう。女子高生が言いそうな台詞ではない。ま、男の作家さんだからしょうがないのかもね。
overall though, it's really interesting and sad. and i like sad. so i really like this series but its gonna be hard to read without crying. haha. i need to pace myself tho, so i don't start reading it like crazy. need to do schoolwork too.

でも、現実にはありえないんだろうケド、すごく悲しいお話。何であの娘が最終兵器として選ばれたんだろうとか、それによって、家族との絆とか友達との絆が変わっていくのはかわいそうだなとか思っちゃう。ものすごく不器用な彼氏も一生懸命がんばる姿が切なくて愛しい。もし、自分があの立場だったら、って考えちゃう。イイお話です。

Roll House Sushi

last night, the roomie had a midterm until 7 so we decided to go out to eat for dinner. (it was her cooking day) で、当然の如くのようにお寿司に決まり!mainly cuz she had a coupon. lol. how cheap are we??



anyways, so we went to this place called Roll House Sushi in Santa Monica. it's located right by the 3rd St. Promenade on 4th St. tho. 結論から言うと、全然良くなかった。


first of all, the place is so dimly lit that its hard to even read the menu. -__- and then, despite the fact that there were only like 2 other customers besides us, it took forever for the food to come. on top of that, they mistook our order and the waitress was a bitch. 愛想もクソもない。

part of their menu

we had a $25 off $50 coupon. but the final bill came out to about $50. including the tax and 18% gratuity. あんなレベルの低いサービスに何で18%も払うのか理解できないけど、it was part of the coupon. *sigh* んで、結局割り勘。何で!?だって、私が料理当番で外食した日は私が全部払ったんだよ?だったら別に外食なんかしたくない。美味しくない上に高いし。馬鹿みたいじゃん。悲しい晩飯でした。

Mr. Smith goes to Washington

watched "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" in film class today. saw it back in senior year of high school for government class. でも、あまりにも時間が立ってたから残ってみることにした。メッチャ眠かったケド...

it was as good as i remember. and i totally remembered why we watched it. the process of making a bill, the inner workings of the Senate, and, of course, the infamous filibuster scene. 懐かしかった。i was surprised i remembered so much of those political terms. i think i got a 3 on the AP Gov test. haha

i'm glad i took this film class. a lot of the movies we watch are interesting :) plus, it's a nice break from all those difficult classes. lol

満天

リトル東京のホンダプラザに新しく和風中華屋さんができた。so the family and i decided to give it a try. since we all like chinese food :)

「満天」って言うところで、ホンダプラザの一番奥にある。メニューを見ると以外と豊富。but, if you get an entree, it doesn't come with rice. so you have to order it. お昼に行ったから、もうちょっと定職っぽいのがあると思ったのに。。。週末はお弁当もないし。仕方なく、麺類にすることにした。
ジャージャー麺を頼んだ。it was pretty good. but even though we were the only customers there, it took quite a while for the food to come. and even when it did, the first dish (my sisters) came and then it took another 10 mins for the next one to come. not very efficient... ジャージャー麺は以外と野菜が多かった。肉味噌にもいっぱい細かく切った野菜が。歯ごたえがあっていいかもだけど、もっとお肉が多いほうがよかった。i might go back. maybe for lunch during the week to try their bento.

しゃぶしゃぶ

久しぶりにしゃぶしゃぶ食べたぁ。it was so good. 特に、この寒い季節の鍋はいいよねぇ。体の心から温まるぅ。too bad the bf doesn't like onabe in general. that really bites. i mean, it's sooooo gooooood. i LOVE onabe. キムチ鍋、石狩鍋、すき焼き、モツ鍋、餃子鍋、などなど。うまし!lol
ugh. gots to go back to writing my research paper for film class. 6-8 pages. not that bad. but i haven't started on it and it's due wednesday. haha. gots so much reading to do for the research part... -_- i like that class, since we get to watch a lot of movies. like recently, we watched "Trouble in Paradise" which was interesting. it was a talkie and about this con artist couple. 面白い部分もあって、ちょっとコメディーっぽかった。dude, the girls back then were really skinny tooooooo. i wish i were... *sigh* back to work!!
