Nothing too exciting

As title says weekend of the 12th/13th of April were not particularly exciting.
Saturday we went to Shinjuku. Shock of shocks - I perused HMV for 1 hour and walked out without buying a single thing, I think that must be a first! And no, I didn't steal anything.
I success was buying a book called "A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters", I recommend it to anyone with an interest in Japanese. Rather than teaching you how to write Kanji (Chinese Characters used in Japanese) it explains their history and what they are meant to symbolise. It is most interesting. Also if you remember all the Kanji in the book you have learnt all 1945 "everyday use" Kanji.
In the evening we watch "Million Dollar Baby" on DVD, was a reet good movie.
Sunday Emi went to her mother apartment to help out with the communal tidy up activity they have a few time a year. I on the other hand went with a chap from work in the UK to watch "Hitman", the movie based on the video game. I read some review before I went, people either loved it or hated it. I will say that it will not win any awards but it was a good way to spend 2 hours, full of lots of action. Also the bird in it was very pretty and they used any oportunity for her to walk around with her top off!
In the evening Emi and I went to Luke and Yoko's for dinner - Mexico style! It was very tasty and I had far to much to drink with work the next day.
