Read or Die.
 Hmm, that movie was interesting. I'm not sure how much of it was edited for TV (knowing the people at adult swim, probably a good deal of it), but I liked it. Here's a brief synopsis: Yomiko Readman, an extreme bibliophile, lives a secret life as a double agent with the superpower of being able to control paper. Yes, control paper, like telekinetic, but only with paper (it's cooler than it sounds). She and two other agents must track down a madman who has been cloning legendary thinkers from the past. His plot culminates in launching a rocket with Beethoven on it to broadcast a song that causes everyone who hears it to commit suicide. Aside from the good deal of America bashing (the American President is constantly wetting himself), I liked it. Now of course the viewing of this movie requires a good deal of suspended disbelief, but if you don't have a problem with X-men like superheroes, and cloned inventors terrorizing New York, then you may very well enjoy Read or Die.On to the rest of my day. Woke up and got some reading done at about eleven this morning. Then in the afternoon I was afforded the opportunity to drive somewhere by myself. Mom had to stay home and work on something, so I drove myself to music lessons (about half an hour away on the freeway). On the way home I stopped to pick up Pokemon Leaf Green at Best Buy. I've been playing it for about four hours. It's very similar to the original Pokemon, it is in essence the same thing. However, they've added some new attacks, and other things from Gold and Silver. I'd have to say that it's a nice hybrid. Also, the wireless adapter is neat indeedy.
