きにょび Ｍｙ favorite!
I went to Language lab for the first time today, it was so new to me I was a little baffled at first, but once all was settled in it was neat using the computers and I found the pictures and videos amusing.
I spent much of my senior year watching classic films as recommended by my art teacher, many of these being Kurosawa films, so he was the one to introduce me to his work which I love.
With that said, I've seen: Seven Samurai, Ikiru (いきる）, Kagemusha (かげむしゃ）, Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, Rashomon (らしょもん）, High and Low, Yojimbo (よじんぼ）, Throne of Blood, Sanjuro (さんじゅろ）, Ran (らん） and Red Beard.
I enjoyed every one of these, and each time I was always amazed as how great what I watched was. Red Beard and High and Low were probably the only ones I wouldn't feel compelled to watch again, the rest I think everyone should see. Especially Ikiru, its message moved me the most. Seven Samurai will probably always be my favorite as well. I'll try and be more detailed in future posts.
As for Takashi Kitano, I think I've seen his Zatoichi film, and otherwise heard his name before but I think that's it. I'll be sure to add some of his films to my queue, though I don't know how that will go as I haven't had to time to watch anything since this semester started...
I don't know if Vista is a disaster, but I certainly liked XP better with the exception of the Japanese option. Actually, the toolbar with post it notes is kinda useful too. But, I'm not really a computer expert, and those who are more fluent usually don't speak too highly of Vista...so I'm not sure what to say on the matter.
I both read Manga and watch Anime, though I tend to read more Manga because it's usually a more convenient activity for me. Also, I dislike most animes based on manga because they're changed to fit that medium, often changing plot and characters, which I'm rarely supportive of.
I have to run to work now, so I might post again soon, but probably not until next weekend I think.

日本語 です
こんばんわ みなさん。Julio です。こんばんわ。
Wow, adding Japanese text to Vista is very easy! Much better than XP, this is probably the Vista feature that has pleased me the most so far.
私はいちねんせいです。 あめりかじんです。どうぞよろしく。にんじんじゃありません。
I feel like you don't put spaces between words in Japanese, is that right?
Ha ha, I'm not sure what to put up here.
Until next time!

Konnichiwa!
Julio desu!
One of my favorite books is Shogun by James Clavell, Anjin-san is a reference to the main character.
I'm studying Japanese because it's a culture that I like a lot. I hope that one day I can watch a Kurosawa film without the subtitles.
The sov and writing systems are giving me trouble...but I won't give up.
