"Adios, asshole"

[tempestuously]

Ok getting home at 7:30 was actually not in the plans for today. I wanted to be home by at least 6. But then there was Persona 3. I enjoy watching video games far too much. Granted, half of my knowledge from the game came from CFUD. Akihiko (Akiho) is my favorite of course because he's hot, suave and has a gay boyfriend who lives on the streets. But as much as Dana detests Junpei, I think his ineptitude is adorkable. I didn't realize the bizarre social component of Persona 3 either, but watching the main character chat on an online RPG with his Net friends only to go and talk to some dying guy on the street is hilarious. Oh the awkward. But the highlight was definitely checking out Shinjiro's victory statement. "Adios, assholes." Now, my first brush with Persona was a brief moment in Persona 1 when all the characters were calling for their persona by wailing out "PERSONA!" All but one. Brad. Brad's calling of choice was this really snarky "HEY PERSONA!" Which impeded the games in my head forever. I am now happy I have a new Persona memory for the ages. I love Shinji.

I also caught up with Lost and am as much in love with Ben as ever. Locke too. The flash-forwards are full of questions but manage to hold my interest. I'm even more pleased that the plot doesn't take ten years to go anywhere anymore. And the boat people are somewhat interesting, especially Dan. Oh Dan. May your mad scientist ways be with us forever.

Also watched Eastern Promises, which I was a bit sleepy through the first part, but I was fully awake and engrossed for the latter part. Naked knife fights can do that for you. Amazing story though. I love mafia things.

Gah! I need to see Eastern Promises. I really love mafia things too, but I keep forgetting to rent the darn film. Btw, did you watch the show, the Sopranos? It doesn't have a naked Viggo Mortensen in it, but it was (for the most part Season 6, why did you fail me?) pretty awesome :D Also, if you haven't seen it already, see The Departed when you get the chance.
