One of my students secretly brought FFXII: Revenant Wings to school along with her DS and we hid in the bathroom to play during the cleaning break. It looked very pretty. Not having finished FFXII or even gotten very far, I didn't understand it at all, though the chibi characters were just a little startling. I was looking at it and playing (with her directing... this involved a lot of finger pointing and miming) and I entertained the thought of buying the game for, oh, five seconds but then realized I'd need to be a lot more pera pera in Japanese before I can even contemplate buying a video game with this lovely language.

;_; This is what happened with Dirge. akujunkan had to sit by the side and translate what was going on during the parts where there were no written words.

... maybe I could buy Tetris.

I've seen three movies in the last three weeks. This is a record, you must understand, since movies are about TWICE AS EXPENSIVE AS IT IS IN THE STATES. 1700 yen for a regular ticket, though it goes down to 1200 if you're a woman on Wednesdays (true!) and/or are catching the last show of the day. Because trains in the area stop running around 10/11 and tough luck to you if you miss the last train! TAXI!
