Lesbians! Voyeurs!

Japan (unlike China) is a very quiet country. Everyone is a) too shy to make noise and b) too polite to notice other people making noise. So on my way back home in the train station I was quite surprised to see a) two girls kissing each other with an intensity that made b) people take pictures of them with their mobile phones.

The Suit

The timing of the Tokyo International Film Festival is very bad for me: It opened last weekend (when I was in Shanghai) and it closes this weekend (when I will be at our company weekend camp near Mount Fuji). On the weekdays in between, most of the screenings are in the morning or early afternoon, with only very few movies after 6pm and the latest shows as early as 8pm.

The Suit is a Russian movie about the adventures of three young men and their Gucci suit. It is set in a small beach town along the Black Sea, and while it has some interesting scenes, everything is a little incoherent.

Panther eats camel

Exposé may be cool, but I definitely do not like the many ways Perl is broken now. Camelbones (and PerlPad) are currently completely useless, all my additional modules cannot be found and need to be reinstalled, installing those modules does not work anymore without the Developer Tools (which provide the required header files that used to ship by default), making CPAN less accessible to end users, even perldoc is broken.

All of this will take some time to fix.
