packing and ranting
Not much to say about today. After making my last post, I did infact succeed in packing SEVEN BOXES WORTH OF STUFF!!1!!!1 I also ended up watching various stuff on the videotapes I was intending to just figure out what was on them, including an episode of Maison Ikkoku, some TMBG TV appearances, half of an episode of Saturday Night Live from around 1990, and the first half of the movie Double Switch, which to this day I would still rank among my favorite movies, if I could only find the second half of it. Stupid Disney Sunday Nights. I think George Newbern was the first actor I ever had a crush on. It's neat to see that he's now doing voice acting for stuff like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, heh.
Oren came over out of boredom in the late evening and we ended up going over to Chipotle for dinner. I guess it was good to get out of the house.
I came back, packed CDs and watched the third episode of 魔女の条件; I can't explain why I'm watching it, really; it must be the hidden soap-opera-watcher/romance-novel-reader in my subconscious. I've come to the conclusion that every Johnny's Jimusho boy, in order to graduate to their full idol potential -- where not only does every screaming teenage girl want them, but also their moms and grandmoms -- has to do a TV dorama in which they fall in love with an older woman and have some sort of forbidden affair. I've obviously not seen all of them, but so far, Tackey's role in this show fits it (him with his ten-years-older teacher played by the lovely Matsushima Nanako), as does Matsujun's in the show Kimi wa Petto, where he became the eight-years-older Koyuki's "pet boy", and Yamapi in "Sore Wa, Totsuzen, Arashi No You Ni", where he convinces the fifteen-years-older Esumi Makiko to take dance lessons at his studio, only to draw her away from her husband.
It's weird, because somehow I haven't seen any doramas yet that focus on relationships with the opposite age disparity. I don't think they don't exist; it's probably just that I haven't seen any yet, though; or that it's more "natural" for a guy to be the older one, that it hasn't been a story focus per se. I suppose in Akimahende, Sumire's dating that older dude, and Sakurai does go after Aoyama in Densha Otoko... but these aren't main plot couples. I dunno.
Uh, so anyway, on another note, I cropped some of my Pittsburgh pictures, well, at least, the baseball-related ones; I also have (mostly for Megan's sake) a great picture of PNC Park that makes a nice desktop wallpaper if you feel like downloading the 1.2 MB it currently takes up. It's my background though and I am quite happy with it.
Jonah Keri confirmed that he'd come to Seattle Baseball Book Club next weekend when we discuss his book. Now I just have to find some people to actually, like, go to book club. :) I think there'll be a better turnout due to the Prospectus-ness of it, plus he said he'd see if he could put a note about it in the Baseball Prospectus daily email on Monday. Jonah's so awesome.
I'm heading down to Tacoma for the Rainiers game tomorrow! Well, games, really, being as today got rained out and it's a doubleheader to make up for it. And assuming I wake up on time. But I should. It's time to sleep now.
