thank gawd it's friday!

agh. someone woke me up today with a phone call at 6am(!), just because he was bored. that person should be pretty fucken grateful abt the level of diplomacy that i was able to pull out before hanging up on him. considering that he woke me up way too early on a weekday after a bar night, the fact that i did not tell him to fuck off was practically a miracle. i know of only one person who can get away with that and this was not him.

oh, and i just got my portfolio back from the international office. that was rather quick considering that i've been calling after it only for abt TWO FUCKEN YEARS! this chick calls me up going "...the office is moving to another building and i found this portfolio between my table and the wall and i think it has your name on it..." great. bloody useless waste of office space. oh well, i guess i should be happy that it still exists since my hope of ever seeing it again was long gone.

asian cinema was very good today. the funny thing was that before we began watching the movie the teacher goes "er... alright, i feel that i have to warn you: if there is anyone in here who is even mildly suicidal or depressed, please DO NOT watch the whole movie. you need to leave before the end of the movie cause this might just push you over the edge..." that's when i knew that this shit had to be good.

we watched masahiro shinoda's double suicide, a japanese black'n white movie form 1969. visually it was stunningly beautiful and the constant referencing to bunraku puppet theatre added a really interesting layer to the movie. though i have to admit that (being a finn and all,) the whole giri-ninjo aspect is pretty much lost on me: i just don't get it. i know what it's supposed to mean, but it just doesn't do anything to me.
