( Zero Day )
Before and after this film I read and finished Gunjou. That one got me good too, even though I saw it coming (logically you can't help but see it coming, more or less). I'd gone out for bibimbap at this point and being the only person in the restaurant did not scream anything along the lines of "Eat my fist of rage, bitch!" even though the urge was there. ...Am I making sense to anyone at the moment? XD; I know Shi Lin and Sarah haven't read this one yet. Annoyingly enough I'd say it's another instance of a purported "side story" to Mirage you can't actually skip or anything, because apart from all else it's factually elucidating. I mean, Kotarou knew all along. See icon. That in itself turns the whole shebang upside down. At the risk of sounding facetious knowing this is like rewatching the first Star Wars trilogy while keeping in mind that R2D2 remembers everything that happened in the prequel films. Kotarou knows! My life is in a shambles. I guess I'll do a quick spoiler plot summary tomorrow or whatever.
By the way, the bibimbap was awesome. Every time I go out for (good) Korean I remember how much I like it. I especially like the fact that Korean places give you like three bowls of pickled vegetables and cold salad, complimentary soup and rice when not even Chinese restaurants will do that anymore. Though actually, I don't know if you're really supposed to eat all the pickles - is it like salad, or is it like eating the wilted lettuce leaf from under the bibimbap, or consuming the entire chili bottle just because the waitress put that on the table too? I mean, I'm neurotic about wasting food so I will continue to eat as much kimchee and pickled daikon and raw onion as you set in front of me even if it means I have to drink a litre of water afterward, but I like to know if my behaviour is weird or not. XD
