The Da Vinci Code

I finally have plans that are pretty solid to see this movie. I woke up late today because I was watching both soccer games last night. I saw them almost to the finish, well I saw the Japan game till it ended and I saw the first half of the Australia vs. Brazil game. So I ended up getting ready late, which made me get on the train late and arrive late to meet CHda at Sakuragicho station. At least we weren’t late for the movie. I still arrived in enough time to get to the theater and everything 7 minutes before the movie started. It wasn’t good to get there that late because she had been waiting for 30 minutes because she arrived there early from the dentist. I felt really bad about that. I should have been there earlier. I seem to always be late to meet her. I really shouldn’t be either.

Well the movie started and it was pretty good I thought. It followed along the storyline of the book. I mean it was pretty consistent with everything that I read, but it was different to see the pictures and the places mentioned in the book. I was a bit worried because the movie didn’t get good reviews, but I think it’s the same people who always complain because they just complain about everything. For crying out loud, it’s just a movie for entertainment so be entertained. I was and I liked it too. I thought the pacing was good, a bit slower than the book, but it’s a movie so it needed to change that a bit.

After we had finished the movie, we decided to get some grub. We stayed in the area, world porters and walked around till we found something. I was shocked to see a place that I haven’t seen before. It was a little Mexican food place that is located in the corner of the building on the first floor. I have walked past there before, but never noticed it. I ordered their Nachos and Quesdilla, both of which were pretty good. We talked for hours. The movie ended about 3:30pm and we didn’t go home till around 6:30-7pm. It was nice to have a conversation with her. It was such a nice setting to talk too, but the weather was a bit hot. I didn’t like that since we were outside. It would have been awesome to have some outdoor umbrellas on the deck to make it very nice. But it was ok.

Before I started my way to go home, I stopped off at the Fuji supermarket to see what I needed to get. I wanted to get another melon if it was cheap enough or on discount. But it wasn’t so I didn’t get it. I got some other things that I needed and needed to break my 10,000 yen so I could get some change and some money for a passport picture booth. I needed to take the picture so I could send it to UCLA for my student ID. I thought it was ok, it wasn’t a great picture, but it’ll do.

I came home and then watched the soccer game between Switzerland and Togo. The Swiss won 2-0, but I kinda figured that they would win just because they are the stronger team although I felt both teams were pretty weak. I don’t believe that Togo or Switzerland will make it to the next round because they are in the same group as France and South Korea, both of which are much stronger teams.
