There is just no better way to spend a rainy Sunday evening than at the movies. I cannot believe I let the previous six Sundays (and the other 42 days in between) just slip by. It felt good to be back in front of the silver screen, and with a serious movie at that (rather than a reloaded matrix). Nicole Kidman's performance won an Academy Award, but her nose deserves one as well.

Baseball is probably the most popular sport in Japan. We had free tickets to support the away team at Tokyo Dome today, and they lost miserably. But I unexpectedly met an old friend in the crowd, which once again proves how small a world it really is.
