Collateral and Sushi
Peanut butter and jam? Not quite. Tom and Jerry? Not quite. But yesterday's double dip of amusement was a good combination. After getting off work at 5:30, I went home for 15 minutes before Okamura san, my Toyono hostt father, picked me up. The plan? Go see Collateral because it was cheapy movie day as is always the case on the 1st of every month. We made it to the theatre in plenty of time. Of course I paid. Whenever I go out with the Okamura's, we always have a battle over who pays. I usually lose, but yesterday I flexed my muscle and won. So, movie review. Collateral was pretty good, it certainly held it's own in the action genre that Okamura san and I like. The plot has a few holes in it, but they don't detract from the flow of the movie. And it's interesting to see Tom Cruise as a villain, although we feel a little sypathetic to him. Anyway check it out, good bang for your buck. After the show, we went to the local Sakae sushi. I think their sushi is really good, but Okamura san thinks that it's a bit big. Anyway, delicious is delicious. So we sat, ate suhi, and I picked his brain about things that were still bothering me about Japanese culture. And for some reason, I also defeated Okamura san to pay for dinner. Final score Kyle 2, Okamura san 0.
