The weather in Tokyo is perfect today. It is so nice to have sunshine and a clear sky! We wanted to watch David Lynch's Inland Empire showing at Yebisu Garden Cinema (in Japanese), so I tried to reserve good seats online, but I couldn't. I forgot about their entry system. When we visit their ticket counter on the day of the show, they stamp the number on our tickets. Fifteen minutes before the show, we enter the theater in the order of the stamped number. It seems like Saturday is really busy, so I was wondering how early we should be there to get OK seats. But C volunteered to go to the cinema by bike in the morning, and our numbers are 1 and 2! Nice one! This wouldn't have happened if it was raining, like yesterday.

Last month, the official GR digital blog was celebrating their second anniversary and there was a campaign to win a free GR photo album. I applied for it, but I completely forgot about it, and I've received the album yesterday. There were only two hundreds photo albums, so I'm happy about the fact that I got it, but I don't know if I use it. I hardly print photos any more these days...

I read Nintendo offers free Wii Remote jackets so I requested two jackets for our Wii remotes, and a few days ago I received the packet from Nintedo! I have to say that the removable silicone sleeves don't look so nice, not suiting to the Wii design. The transparent silicone will probably get dusty and dirty very quickly. But I know the jackets will definitely protect us/our belongings better, and I like Nintendo's attitude.

Last weekend's F1 Chinese Grand Prix was also rainy because of the nearby typhoon, but it didn't seem as bad as the Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway the week before. You might have read the Japanese news about Toyota's problems already: the GP was really badly organised and the weather was worse than any weather forcasts. We met up with our friends at the circuit and stayed in a bungalow at a camp site. There was a nice natural bath with a Fuji mountain view (although we couldn't see it because of the bad weather!). So this trip wasn't so bad. In November 2006, Fuji Speedway announced that the number of visitors was expected to be approximately 50,000 on Friday, 90,000 on Saturday, 140,000 on the final day of the event. And actually almost exactly the same number of people came to see the event: 52,000 on Friday, 90,000 on Saturday, 140,000 on Sunday. Somehow I don't belive these numbers, especially since I read the incorrect-sounding news about the Japanese GP...
