there’s a short film festival here called tropfest. i went last year and remarked on the great nite.
i went again last nite. this time instead of a t-shirt i was wearing a tshirt, a thermal shirt and a sweater and was still chilly. this summer here has been really crap.
the tropfest site seems to have the videos on the site but you have to register to view them and their network or site is screwy at the moment. i think my fav was the ‘confessions of an animation’.
the film festival was pretty good though. one of my friends said we should enter next year (even though neither of us have any clue how to make a film) with a short on speed dating and online personals. something to think about i guess. 
while we’re on the movie topic, i saw ‘lost in translation’ this wknd. i thought it was a pretty cool movie that portrayed being alone in a foreign city very well. from the standard but always fun holding money in your open hand and letting some store clerk (bartender in the movie) take what you owe to the becoming friends with someone you’d probably never be friends with at home.
and the tokyo city views made me really happy that a friend of mine is moving there this week. i need to start planning a trip.
