Kazamaura

Just a quick post from Kazamaura the home of the Gaijin for Life, Luke Elliot. We are up visiting Luke and his wife Yuko and had a quick tour of the Shimokita “axe head” and pictures will follow when we get back to Itayanagi.

All for now!

Za DaVinchi Codo （ザ・ダヴィンチ・コード）

Yesterday we went to see The daVinci Code (it was in English, but with Japanese subtitles) which was not even close to as good as I thought it would be. I mean aside from all the controversy regarding what it portrays.

The movie itself wasn’t great, the acting by Tom Hanks was one of the poorer roles I had seen him in and the scripting brought back memories of feature length murder mystery shows on television.

Regarding the controversial subject matter it doesn’t really make much sense.
Why would people worship the wife of some guy who preached love?
Wouldn’t the bloodline be so watered down as to not really matter, particularly if Jesus was just a plain old carpenter’s son with no more claim to any kingdom than anyone else who could trace back to David?
And most confusingly of all, why aren’t Jesus’ and Mary’s descendants Jewish, and why aren’t the people who believe Jesus’ teachings and give so much to rpeserve his bloodline because of it following his teachings and continuing to follow the Jewish practices that atone for sin (afterall Jesus wouldn’t have atoned for sin right?)

Like I said it doesn’t make any real sense and, to my mind, doesn’t really warrant being termed controversial other than making a few outrageous claims to get big numbers reading and watching it…

Harry Potter and (very)softball

Yesterday we were sweeping out the bike shed and David revealed to us that he used to be a student at Hogwarts school before leaving due to doctrinal differences (he wanted to wear his hat in church) and he promptly showed us how he used to used to play quidditch before his place was taken by some speccy brat with a bowl cut:

On Monday we were experimenting with “American Sports” and were celebrating Japan’s win in the World Rounders Classic:

Upgrade

Welcome to the new Flat3D! Upgraded to Wordpress 2.0!

“What’s changed???” I hear you cry. And well you might as it seems nothing has changed.
But you will notice through careful scrutiny that there is now a categories section in the menu bar. Until now the categories system has been too cumbersome to use properly as it required all kinds of farting about to make categories and use them. But in the new version they have put a little box where you can type in new categories as you post the new posts! How handy.

So yeah, not much has changed for now, but the possibility of further change in the future is at large. New wordpress offers such wonders as podcasting, including files in posts rather than linking to externals and all kinds of wonderful merriment.

Welcome to the next level of Flat3D.
