busy busy, mind your sixes, and chinese days of yore
busy busy busy these days! feel like sleeping is actually luxury!
managed to crank out an entire examination today including a long reading passage, a listening passage, a couple of dialogues, a writing assignment, and 60+ questions. plus i worked two hours for another gig, did last minute tweaking for hong kong stuff, went to the gym, went to three banks, called the insurance company, hit the hardware store, and the supermarket! and i STILL have three more hours to work tonight.
and much the same for the near future. 11 more exams to go before my deadline.
masa's birthday coming soon (on sunday)! the big 33. i remember that age as being a significant one for me:
- jesus died when he was 33.
- juliette binoche's character, julie, from kieslowski's blue (one of my favorite movies), is 33 when she has her accident, leading to her liberty. because of this, blue is a significant color for masa this year! (now i see how those newspaper horoscope things work).
- 3+3 equals six. that year (2004) i was on the lookout for things equaling six. masa should take care about sixes! luckily things don't happen in sixes too much! but six is an unlucky number this until next april for m.
lei emailed me some great pics of shanghai of twenty-five years ago. it's funny when you talk to people in shanghai and they are actually nostalgic for those days. shanghai sho don't look like that no more! good times!
