Trying to miss the ground

It's depressingly simple to get depressed

It's been over a month since I last wrote anything at all. I've sorted out my trip to Vancouver (for "Salute to Supernatural" \(^o\) (/o^)/) at the end of this month, and I'm taking baby steps towards sorting out my personal life. It scares me a little doing things on my own but it never feels better than taking charge of my life.

The boys were disappointing (as expected) but like someone said in the stands, I didn't even know there were so many West Ham fans in Hong Kong:

(Note: The mascots weren't pre-arranged. The guy just rounded up all kids in West Ham shirts in the stands.)

Spent a whole day at a symposium and at least half of it fighting sleep. When the speaker got really, really boring, my mind wandered and started picturing Jared giving a lap dance to Dean. I probably would've blamed it on Chash's "He Comes to Save the Day" except that it's Dean not Jensen and it's a Jared who's doing the striptease very professionally not that Jared who likes to dress up as a superhero.

And then I tried picturing Jensen doing the lap dance and the visuals just suddenly changed from Dean to Alec - which, though hot, just made wonder why I thought it would be so OOC for Dean to do a lap dance - and right then, is when I realised my facial expressions must've been pretty weird throughout my journey of thought, especially since the talk was oh so boring :p

The first generation born after the 1989 Student Movement will have become university students by now. It’s hard to stomach because I still remember all schools in Hong Kong going on strike to support the student movement, even though I was just a primary school student then.

I’ve never been really political active offline but I’m definitely going to the candle-light vigil this year.

I'm watching 19 films at the HKIFF.  So far, $9.99, Machan, and Antique are my favourites for this year and only 4 films really put me to sleep and I'd had doubt about them before buying the tickets so I guess my judgment is not so bad this year~

( Full list behind cut )

Still 6 films to go, I have high hopes that the 2 Indian films Chandni Chowk to China and Ghajini will be entertaining, and the rest... I don't know, I'll just wait and see. After all, I don't remember what they're about anyway.

In between waiting for the next screenings, I finished translating a couple of short fics at the Starbucks. Now I'll just have to wait for the permissions so that I can post them. Fingers crossed they'll come soon.
