Hachi: A dog's story

If you guys don't know the story of Hachiko, the incredibly loyal Akita dog from Japan, then allow me to tell the tale:

In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.

They're actually making this story into a movie.

Yeah, that's right. If you think that isn't surprising enough,

It's made in the USA, by AMERICANS.

Yeah, If you're not stunned enough, it stars RICHARD GERE.

How's that for Hachiko?

...In theaters December 18 2009. (Even I doubted the accuracy of Wikipedia and the facts they have, but it's really true. Wow, Richard Gere!)

Games I'm waiting for

I feel like being a geek today and sharing to the world what video games i'm just drooling to get my hands on.

Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands DS

>Not only is it the improved version of it's predecessor, Island of Happiness, but it features a whole new Bachelor whom of which I am DYING to get my claws on! Ok, Call me weird but being a hardcore fan of the series, it's the first time RICH and GENTLEMAN and CUTE and LIGHT-BLUE EYES came in as a combination for an available bachelor. Oh, and did I mention he owns a yacht? (Oh, and the farming is fun too)

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade

> This game is an improved version of the game that came out last year called "Tree of Tranquility". I've gotten far in the last game, to the point that I had a baby already with Chase. (And one more rainbow to complete at that) But this game is just so much BETTER than the last one, I don't give a damn if I have to start from scratch one more time! One of the many features is that you can have more than one child, take photographs of anything in the game and send them online, there's a circus that comes every summer and you can even marry the HARVEST GOD!

Harvest Moon: Sugartown

>I don't usually hype up for PSP games, but this one I am also excited for. Remember "Save the Homeland" on PS2? Well this is sort of a remake with more bachelorettes, a cuter style, better gameplay and a new plot. I'm slightly turned off by the fact that you can't be a girl; but I'm sure playing this game will bring back lots of good memories.

Tekken 6

>What geek ISN'T excited for the release of this game? HELLA better graphics, continuation of the awesome storyline, lots of unlockables and hours of addictive gameplay ain't enough to make you wanna get your hands on it? Not to mention the ever dreamy LEO. (Which I believe, from now and forever, to be MALE) I believe aside from Lili, (my all time favorite) I'll be playing Leo a lot. (And probably dressing him up with frills and tuxes)

Well there you have it! I proabably have more but these are the ones I'm just DYING to get my hands on.

Toodles!
