At Becky's for a couple more hours. Just spent the last 2 hours watching Ninja Warrior! It was the 20th tournament they had and Shingo Yamamoto (gas station manager) didn't make it past the first stage!!! I was so disappointed in him! But they had 3 American guys and one guy made it farther than anyone else! He made it all the way to the third stage (which Makoto Nagano didn't even get to) and failed on the cliffhanger. It was weird because the show made it seem like the top guys didn't care about the American dudes at all, but in the extra show G4 did, the Americans made friends with the top ninja guys! And even on the third stage, they were off to the side telling Levi (American) how to do the globe grasp. SWEET! And in the extra show, Nagano got a face full of crotch, it was hilarious! They created their own mini trampoline and he stood in front of it to show the height they had to get passed and one guy jumped right into his face!

OOOH Watched an awesome Hindi movie last night. (STEPH! You would love this movie! You would totally think the main guy is hot because I thought he was hideous. He's India's version of Emo, it's hilarious!) It's called Saawariya and we got it from Blockbuster. It's based on a short story called "White Nights" by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. The whole movie has a surreal, magical feel to it and it takes place almost entirely at night. It really reminds me of Moulin Rouge, but without the ridiculous comedy. The plot is as follows...

A wandering musician stays at a guesthouse in the red light district and befriends a local prostitute (played by Rani Mukerji) and his landlady, an old woman who misses her son. One night he meets a strange girl standing on the bridge and through the course of 4 nights, falls in love with her. Even though his feelings for her increase by the day and he dreams of them running off together, Sakina has a sad secret that keeps her from returning his feelings. Will she wait forever for someone who may never return or will she give up and turn to her new friend for love?

I think the movie ended well and I was really happy with it, but I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't like the ending at all. Oh well! Guess you'll just have to watch! XD (and there's a hilarious song with the main guy and a towel. Not saying anything else. )

Ah! First week of job is over! I can't wait until next week when I have money because the first thing I'm going to do is buy some freaking ass manga. Tsubasa, XXXHolic, High School Debut...tons of releases in the time I haven't had money! YAAAAY!!!

Heading home soon (left this open for over an hour!) so I'll talk more later.
