Yesterday I went theater hopping with Chao, and we snuck candy into the movies. So I got my double dose of illicit thrills.

First we watched Saw. I think that movie takes the cake for most disturbing movie I’ve ever seen. But wonderful, excellent, well-written, and go see it if you don’t have a weak stomach. Next was Team America, which I’d already seen. Quite a laugh even the second time, and I think Chao enjoyed it too. And finally, we saw The Grudge. I have to admit they did a pretty good job porting it over to American audiences, but I still think the original is much scarier. So go see all three, if you want. I’m itching to see Motorcycle Diaries next.

And when the fun was all over in the theater, I dropped by Elise’s Halloween bash. I originally had no clue what I was going to dress up as, but then I remembered the yukata that Kyoko had given me as a gift before I left Japan. So I wore that, and my grey lab slippers, and went as “made in Japan,” meaning that everything I wore was from Japan. Of course this begged the obvious question, “What does Japanese underwear look like?” (It looks a lot like American underwear.) But it was the most comfortable clothing I’ve worn in a long time; I think I was the most comfy individual at that party. Thank you, Kyoko.
