#9 dream: lost property.

The more I read, the more I wish some one would turn it into a movie. The author really can really convey the image to the reader. But its soo hard to follow, so that's where I think it would help if it was a movie. But then I think it would end up very similar to “the science of sleep”, where it’s some times hard to differentiate between reality and dreams.

“Night does not mean sleep in Tokyo. Punks slalom down shopping malls. Hostesses stifle yawns and glance at their patrons Rolexes. Yakuza gangsters fight on deserted construction sites. High schoolers younger than me engage in gymnastic love-hotel sex bouts.” Since I know that the yakuza part happens I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the rest are foreshadowing as well. Now I'm going to go out on an even further limb, I kind of feel like Anju, and say that the beginning is supposed to happen after this chapter. I say this because he talks about a hacker in the first chapter, during the fantasy when he fights Lucy Lui, that got him the codes, but up until this point in chapter two we had know idea he even knew a hacker, or that could have just been the dream?

When the guy ordered the pizza I think I almost threw up. That just sounds soo vile.

One thing that I really don’t get is why his boss flipped out about the announcement. He was helping some one, and even if there was a more important announcement then there would have been some one in there making it.

Right as I got the part when Eiji gets home and his grandma is the bearer of bad news, I stated to listen to a really depressing song. The last paragraph reminds me of the odyssey.

interesting - why did the last paragraph remind you of the odyssey?

this would make a good movie, but a lot of details would have to go. why does it confuse you? what makes it hard to follow?

it gets confusing if u loose track of the lil symbols. the last paragraph reminded me of the odyssey, because he said that all the gods are related and that they will conspire against him.
