Fri & Sat

Friday I got home and walked down to Grant St and walked up to North Beach and talked to Ryan on the phone. And then stuff which I don't want to talk about on this blog.
Saturday was ok. I got up at 3pm and went and got a tuna melt at the local cafe. Then watched more Densha Otoko, and I am very disappointed. The guy ended up reverting his nerdery state, and she accepted it, and it totally ruined the show for me.
Then I went with Eric to the mission, and we met his friend Seth at the Elbo Room. And then to Zeitgeist. Fun was had. We had a cabbie from Uzbekistan who spoke of St. Petersburg as the most beautiful city in the world; said San Francisco was second best. I really want to go to Russia now.
No no no.
It wasn't a full revert.
He still had way more confidence and was able to wear nice clothes and do his hair up when it was necessary. But he was still able to keep what he liked as hobbies as well.
hrm, I guess. I'm still torrenting the last episodes. In a way I view otakudom to be fundamentally unacceptable; collecting figurines, watching all the latest animes, etc. Now don't get me wrong, I still think anime can be pretty cool and think those who discount it immediately are pretty close-minded, but making it a primary hobby, and fawning over the girls and voice actresses and whatnot, just isn't healthy.
