Went to the library to watch Chungking Express yesterday. I've been meaning to watch it. Ever since I watched it with Wills, I think of it as a birthday movie, of sorts. The guy in the movie is 24, turning 25. Just like me, this year. Running in the rain has always held a certain appeal to me. I was going to go today, but I ended up sleeping instead. Then it was too late. I don't run after 5pm, as a rule, out of respect for Taipei pollution. Plus it was cold.I also sort of wanted to see the anti-war protest, which was today at 6pm at the US "embassy". Just to see what it was like. But then the exchange office (in California) told us not to attend such events, for fear of possible danger to US people. Plus it was raining. I must reduce the frequency of blog updates, out of respect for my wrists. Email, mail, and calls from friends near and far are always welcome.
