the hot day
this morning i listened to my new favorite song on repeat the entire waaaay to class (and then some) and it was really great. realization: i am very self-aware when walking across crosswalks. i think it's because it feels to me like a runway of sorts? oh, the sunshine and street sounds and ipod music and flowy skirts and walking determinedly with a destination in mind. the whole crowd of admirers in their cars! yeahyeah, the whole day felt really really busy and i wanted to go to sleep when i got home at 7 o'clock. instead, i made myself a mega-dinner, which included every single carb in the kitchen. and that's never really a good idea.
this afternoon i was supposed to tutor my second session for conversational english at 2 but i thought it was 3 and realized around 2:30. poor hsaio-chi! we eventually got to meet. i tried to buy her ice cream to make up for it, but the only american food she really likes is McDonald's. this time wasn't nearly as difficult as the first time (thank god) when i didn't know what the heck i was doing. hsaio-chi is so cute. she asked me if "fine" is an OK response to the "hi how are you?" question because she said that sometimes people look at her funny when she answers. compared with the average person, she is extremely blunt, which i enjoy and attribute to the culture difference.
so tonight was kind of terrible for 30 minutes. i was trying to find some of my old old old pictures and i discovered that my old school MSN group was automatically deleted due to long-term neglect. ahh! all of my pictures from years 17-19 lost. who knows where they are now? i have now accepted the fact that i might never see any of those snapshot memories ever again, but i suppose, let's face it... they were mostly taken on our bored nights at the perkin's on broadway. the unforgettable (old) perkin's!
alright, this is a less than stellar reflection on a day in the life, but it's semi-late and hot out.
my mighty return to movie-watching this weekend included "v for vendetta" (A) and "hollywoodland" (B-). i managed to enjoy and get creeped out by both. YAYA MOVIES!
