some neat sites i found today:

• flickrvision and twittervision show you where in the world people are updating from. strangely mesmerizing.
• littlebrowndress.com chronicles a year of wearing the same dress every day. the year is now finished and the author is starting a new wardrobe project of only wearing recycled clothing.

what i’ve been watching while knitting:

• last night i watched a japanese movie called swing girls. cliche and cheesy, but cute. featured beautiful scenery of japanese countryside.
• bridezillas on joost. joost is awesome.

a few weeks ago i watched a german movie called Erleuchtung garantiert (Enlightenment Guaranteed). it’s about two brothers who come to japan and their adventures once they get here. i really enjoyed the movie, and i could relate to so many of their misadventures. parts of it were positively hilarious, but towards the end it took a more philosophical and contemplative tone when the brothers find their way to a monastery. the other thing that was really cool about this movie is that it was entirely shot with a digital video camera, which gives it a more intimate perspective.
