Guaranteed Stress Relief.

If you're worked up about language study, dissertation prep, ect., go to a party and show a bunch of unsuspecting folks Versus.

And drink a bunch of beer. ;>

Seriously, we all owe Kitamura Ryuhei a huge debt of thanks. He gifted to the world one of the most ridiculous and wonderful films of the 20th/21st centuries. A fact that is no more clear than when said film (Versus) is viewed after an episode of MST3K.

If you can't tell, I had a great time hanging with the IUC peeps tonight. They seem to like me in spite of the fact that I dig Star Trek, loved The Last Starfighter, and can quote almost any low-budget 80s movie verbatim.

Oh, and in other news, a supply of gummi cherries arrived today.

Life is good.

I imagine that many of them secretly love Star Trek, Last Starfighter, etc as well.

Even when we hang out outside of school, I think many of us are nervous to reveal our true tastes or interests or whatever - in short, to reveal that we're geeks - and perhaps there's also pressure to maintain a modicum of professionalism. I know I certainly felt that in London, in Yokohama, and now here in Hawaii....

Anyway. Glad you're having a good time. And gummi cherries.

Yeah, I'm always worried about flashing my geek, but it never seems to be a problem - no doubt for the reasons you mentioned.

It's not an Excalibur test, it's a video game.
