An ordinary day II.


9:00 - waking up by myself, getting ready, reading in bed about how the Lord of the Rings trilogy was prepared and shot. Very interesting to see the enourmous complexity, how well the different production phases needed to be organized, what role the diverse departments played, how did the actors form a team, what kind of leadership stlye the director took, and how he could still oversee the whole operation and give the final creative stand on the movie.


11:00 - cleaning the kitchen and making omlette with my mom, meanwhile having a conversation about hungarian politics, going deep into the details of the highly questionable pension fund incident (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-25/hungary-follows-argentina-in-pension-fund-ultimatum-nightmare-for-some.html ). It ends with both of us getting super angry and hyped up, and my mom stating the ultimate truth ,,I don't care if I lose or win on my pension funds, but I want to handle my own money and I definitely will NOT do anything that the government wants as long as I am taken for an idiot and being threatened''.


13:00 - fixing up the last university issues and looking up possible accomodation options in Japan. Looks like I can make it for less money then expected, I found a (relatively) cheap shared room only 15 minutes from my office, in the middle of the ,,old Tokyo" area, close to 2 metro lines!


14:30 - studying Japanese with a freshly developed method: reading my old Japanese manga books that I bought in Japan, and using online dictionary to find all the words, expressions and characters that I don't know. When finding something interesting, I look up different contexts where it can be used, make notes and form some new sentences as exercise.


18:00 - catching up with Gasho online, it was time already!


20:00 - eating with family while watching random things on TV, and everyone comments (one of the random things was parts of a Twilight episode, which recieved harsh evaluation).


22:00 - running the daily 5 kms while watching Lord of the Rings (got so motivated after reading about it in the morning).


23:00 - getting into the sauna, while reading Economist. Seriously, this is the best newspaper ever, I don't know how I lived without reading it regularly. It's so to-the-point and easy to follow, it covers a wide range of issues, and gives a good overview about what's going on in the world. After reading it regularly for a month, not reading it would make me feel like living in a dark wardrobe.


00:30 - writing this entry. And probably I will either still read, watch movie or maybe do some more Japanese. And also I shouldn't go to sleep without stretching out the pain in my back properly (well, this happens when weak people climb walls).
