Break time!
Finally, a real weekend! With no work!
I've been MIA to do field data intake and writing reports, with so many deadlines coming up at the same time I guess it couldn't be helped that we had to work during holidays and such. At least the Chinese New Year gave us a bit of a break too (and a friend kidnapped me to cook for her birthday barbecue which was fun but tiring), but after that most of us only slept around 3-4 hours every night. Yesterday I slept really well (not to mention long, too ^^).
I've manage to catch bits and pieces of my f-list during the past month, and whoa, many things are changing in this world. There's Takarazuka with its massive top star graduation (3 troupes? Star, Cosmos and half of Snow?), Heroes almost jumped the shark again, Runaways getting Whedonized (yes, I'm slow with this one, and I'm actually afraid of reading now ^^;) and other things. And yes, things happening in the news, but right now I'm not going to mention them, as they're pretty depressing and I'm not in the mood for that.
Anyway, I'm going to catch up with movies and other things that I've missed lately. Just watched Red Cliff 2 last night. I enjoyed it very much! I had to go to 2 different cinemas to get tickets, and wound up second row from the front, but very worth it. I've mentioned this to someone, that somehow the movie is very poetic despite the violence being portrayed. Then again, most high budgeted Asian movies tend to have that feeling for me.
By the way, I love weekend banking! Yes, I know, people in the banking business might give me the death glare, but I don't care! :P It really helps that I can do my transactions on the weekend, when I actually have time to do so. Which is what I did today. And after that, did the monthly shopping. Funny how those regular activities can actually be enjoyable, after not being able to do so in such a long time, after a series of going-straight-to-the-office-in-the-morning-and-going-straight-home-late episodes ^^.
