Hi ho~ Hi ho~ It's of to work we go...

Last day of my Summer holiday, and it's back to work tomorrow. These last few days, I've just been shopping, going to the cinema, and relaxing at home.

Watched the new Harry Potter film, and it was okay, a bit too disconnected in my opinion, probably cos they tried to squeeze as much of the story as they could into a limited amount of time. It has more flashier effects than the previous movies though. Also watched 'Ged Senki: Tales of Earthsea' ゲド戦記, Studio Ghibli's latest animated movie, directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son Goro Miyazaki... and as usual great graphics, but lacking in terms of story line and not enough background information. The actual story, the inital 'The Earthsea Trilogy' written by Ursula Le Guin, is the real deal and is a highly recommended read. Yeah, unfortunately the books always seem better than their film adaptions, I'm still waiting for a good one to hit me.
