First and foremost - my holidays are NOT going according to the plan - meaning that not only did I go on a short trip to Brenna in Polish Beskidy with a couple of my friends (which was more of a spur of the moment decision), but I have also been completely ignoring my Japanese correspondence course and haven't learned a thing. For the first two weeks I did absolutely nothing and for the next two I've been in Brenna and then in Dąbrowa Górnicza renovating our new flat. And there's A LOT to renovate.

Saw "My Girl", the Korean hit drama of 2006..... It was nice, though a bit too much like Delightful Girl (and the producers knew it to, if the last five minutes of the final episode are any indication xD). Other than that I read the Twilight saga and though I know the book's complete crap in many aspects, I still loved it xD

In an hour I'm going camping to Slovakia for nine days. I MIGHT go for a few days to Ukraine after that, but that's still undecided. I mean, I took my passport and some extra money, but it still hangs on the weather, my strenght after nine days of hiking and who will I be going with, of course :P The weather might be the trickiest part - there are floods in the south of Poland, but I'm not sure about the situation in Slovakia or Ukraine...

Well, I'm going :P Be back in two weeks or so :P

Yep, today I got the results from Friday's test from linguistics and I'm officially starting my holidays :) Tomorrow right_now_1 and I are starting our language learning session (he'll be learning French and I Japanese xD), so you can expect some rants about Japanese grammar :P Also, I'm planning to write a large batch of my novel during these holidays... What I've got so far is not really impressing: only 11 000 words as of today, but I'll do my best to change it :P Ganbarimasu! xD

I went to the Rialto cinema/theatre on Friday to see two of Kim Ki Duk's movies... "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring" was.... weird :P Lots of awkward sex scenes (I mean, really awkward xD Why do guys always show/write about sex in such a dry, matter of fact, animalistic sort of way? The sex in Haruki Murakami's books, as well as in Michel Houellebecq's novels is always bordering on turpism. Then again, I've recently read a short story of Manuela Gretkowska, one of Poland's well-known contemporary novelists, and she described an intercourse in such a flowery way that it made me shake my head. I guess there isn't really a good way to write about sex, is there?), beautiful sceneries, sort of trademark covering of the face (in "Time" the face thing is kind of more important though xD), and male screeching in Korean in the Atumn part :P. I love the concept of the stone, though. How you carry it through out your entire life, climbing the mountain.. the stone wants to keep you from going on, but if your will to live is strong enough you can carry the stone no matter how far is your destination and how difficult the journey. I was really touched :3

The second movie was "3 Iron". It was AWESOME xD I mean, we're sitting in the cinema, watching the beginning, and I ask Greguar: "Hey, isn't that the guy from Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang?" And it was xD Normally I can't really remember the Korean actors and actresses (their names are way too confusing), but after seeing "3 Iron" I'm definitely going to remember his name xD About the film though: very powerful, had me strapped to the seat :P The two main characters don't saying anything through the entire movie, but you can see how their relationship progresses without any problems. I was only a bit bugged about the golf thing, I mean wtf? Totally absurd xD That woman in the car was weird. Why was she there? To show what, exactly? That Tae-suk's unhealthy obsession with golf could have some dire consequences? Also the ending was... huh. Well, it was great and all, but I don't really get the moving like a shadow thing XD Completely random. But still, I bought the DVD in Empik, should be able to go get it in two days maximum xD

And the last rant for today: after seeing "3 Iron" I was on Jae Hee high, so decided to do something mind-numbing again and waste away my weekend on watching another drama.  Since the concept  of "Three Dads One Mom" was too stupid even for me, I settled for "Witch Yoo-Hee". It was okay, I guess... Not really gripping, but the love relationships were not as predictable as they always are xD The witch plot was stupid and overdone, the actress stiff as a board, and the main evil character the one Korean actor I really can't stand xD I mean, he has no facial expression, no chemistry with other people, he's like a walking stick cartoon character... Even his sort of redemption was stupid xD I really liked both Moo-Ryong and Johnny, though. Didn't know for whom to root at some point, even though it was obvious that Johnny wouldn't get the girl... Eh, poor him. I really hearted him, he was so sweet :P One thing that bothers me: why the hell does Jae Hee play stupidly named characters? Here it was Moo-Ryong, and in "DG Choon-Hyang" it was Mong-Ryong... I mean, come on.

That's it for today xD Don't kill me for the overdose of stupidity - I need some place to rant about those things as well xD
