The test

Well, as you might have understood from the previous post, today was the big D-day.
Or Judgement Day.
I had my knowledge tested to the limits by an incredible test, by the prophets of my course, "Information Technology for Private usage" (freely translated) - ITP that is.

Well, the test did turn out not to be such a huge challenge as I was afraid that it would be.
But some questions were a little bit more tricky than the other ones, and I'm afraid that might be the difference for me to get a Fx (almost the worst grade, F is worse though) or an A or B (the best grade is, of course, A)...

So, well, what other things has happened today?
Not that much actually, I ate my lunch while on the train (two sandwiches) and after the test I went back to my municipality and had a great Friday-dinner at a Chinese restaurant :-D.
This evening we've also seen the film "Wild Hogs", which I liked watching very much.
It seems to lack a little bit of that "edge" that I find in comedy films by Jim Carrey for example.
But it was worth seeing, and my grandpa seemed to like it as well (I'm not sure about my grandmother, she haven't seemed to be that glad at all this evening..).

Bourne Identity - just too much violence

Well, hello everyone.
This evening I've been looking at the film "Bourne Identity" (since I and grandpa, on my mother side, did consider to go to the theater to see "Bourne Ultimatum" but realised that one has to see the first two films before seeing the third in the series) which is considered a "James Bond-clone" by some reviwers, and I can't do anything but to agree with them.

Well, but for some things there are huge differences in how the film is made.
It lacks the kind of perfectionism that the James Bond-films has been able to maintain, that is to not cross the line where it's "too much" violence.
Unfortunately the americans doesn't seem to know where this line is, so instead of crossing the line, they've blasted the line into small bits.

Another thing the film lacks is heart.
In James Bond-films there is always room for some forgiveness and the organisation doesn't seem so cold, but rather friendly and caring about the British citizens.
The impression one receives from viewing "Bourne Identity" is that the USA isn't actually caring about the safety of its citizens, and the safety of human beings whatsoever.

Here you can find a review.

To the university!


Oh, I almost forgot, last Friday, I and my grandmother (on my father's side of the family) were supposed to see a film at the theater, but unfortunately we didn't find a film that was good, so we postponed that.

We did visit my university where I'll probably be studying this autumn, and it seems to be a very nice school.

Oh, yes, this picture to the left is a picture of Keitaro Urashima, when he's in the Tokyo University if I'm not wrong.

Cheerios.
