Movie Weekend

I am either going to see Transformers 2, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, or アルマフィ this weekend. Still debating on which one to see. Transformers is probably not going to play much longer, but Harry Potter just came out and I am dying to see it. We'll see what ends up happening.

Tanabata (七夕)

Today is Tanabata. Happy Tanabata. If you don't know what Tanabata is, here is some information about it from Wikipedia.

"Tanabata (七夕 tanabata?, meaning "Evening of the seventh") is a Japanese star festival, derived from the Chinese star festival, Qi Xi (七夕 "The Night of Sevens").
It celebrates the meeting of Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair). The Milky Way, a river made from stars that crosses the sky, separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar. Since the stars come out at night, the celebration is held at night."
