えいが (Movie)

わたしはえいががすきです。わたしはすいようびしちじはんからじゅにじまでえいがみました : "The Town" & "Eat Pray Love."
"The Town"のdirectorとmain actorはBen Affleckです。Although some Boston accents were hard to understand (for a person with English as her second language), I really liked this movie. The action scenes were nice, but what I liked more was the human touch to the crime thriller filled with great character dynamics.  The whole cast also performed very well. Ben Affleck is a gifted writer and director (also wrote "Good Will Hunting" with Matt Damon)!

While watching "Eat Pray Love", I kept thinking おなかすいた。The movie was a bit long, but it made me think back on my trips to Italy and Bali. I want to go travel!

もち:わたしのいぬ

もちはいぎりすじんbulldogです。
なんさいですか? 8 months!
Why "もち"? He is mostly white like a mochi except for his left eye area, tail, and the few spots on his ears.
もちはかわいいです!

Why Japanese?

I chose to study Japanese because I like the way Japanese sounds. I always thought Japanese was a very pretty language. I am excited to write Japanese characters, especially Hiragana, because it's so round and friendly-looking. Although I want to be comfortable writing in Hiragana, memorizing such characters has been the most challenging part of this class. Nonetheless, I am so excited to learn Japanese and hopefully use it when I visit Japan!
