Best Kid Part II

The Karate Kid Part II is my favorite movie. 

It is cer­tainly not a great movie. But I love it anyway.

I’m watch­ing it now, prob­a­bly 20 years after I last saw it. I had it on VHS when I was younger and prob­a­bly watched it 200 times. I still remem­ber every note of the sound­track. It beings up many strong feel­ings. I’m sure I’m just being sen­ti­men­tal. But what­ever. I still love it.

I lived in Japan for a year, dur­ing my “junior year abroad.” Or what­ever. I strongly believe that this movie was what made me inter­ested in Japan in the first place. For that, I owe it a large debt. If you can owe movies debts, that is.

Muji

They are finally going to start open­ing Mujis in Amer­ica. This excites me greatly. Dur­ing my time in Japan, Muji was one of my favorite places to go.

My favorite Muji pur­chase was this set of col­lapsable card­board speak­ers. I wish I remem­ber what hap­pened to them. They would be even more use­ful now that we are liv­ing in the era of the iPod.
