The other day William posted about Johnny Depp coming to Kumamoto to make a movie about Eugene Smith:

If you are interested in the work that Smith did in Minamata and understand Japanese to some extent you may enjoy the ETV special about him. I was able to record it when it was first shown over the weekend and am very glad I did. It will be rebroadcast Wednesday night / Thursday morning from midnight to 1 AM.
I wrote “Wednesday night / Thursday morning” because the schedule says “Thursday morning” but it really means “Wednesday night” after Wednesday becomes Thursday. I have missed a show or two in the past because I was confused by this way of referring to the date and time. It’s technically correct but nonetheless confusing for me – like referring to an event that will happen tomorrow as “next week” because tomorrow is the official start of another week. Or, like calling the south side of a house the “front side” even though the opposite side faces the street and the south side doesn’t. Or . . . well, you get the idea. ;)
