Ever I since I started this blog, I haven’t really documented stuff that’s been happening in my life. Maybe it’s because I feel that nothing significant ever happens to me. Or just that when they do, blogging it isn’t the first thing that comes into my mind. In any case, I’ve decided to give a snapshot of what life is like on this date, January 17, 2010.

A few days ago, I was involved in a public bus accident. I was about to get off at my stop when, all of a sudden, the bus comes to a screeching halt. Now in Taiwan, this is not uncommon. Public buses drivers slam on the brakes like there’s no tomorrow pretty much every time I ride the bus. But this time, they braked especially hard. Apparently some senior citizens flew around on the bus like clothes in a washer, but I didn’t notice. I got off the bus and looked at the damage. Four cars. Niiiiice. And then I walked away (Not very eventful, no?).

I’m in day 4 of treatment for my toe infection. After years of constant toe stubbing, my toe has decided to screw me over with an infection. And it hurts like a bitch. Hopefully in 2 or 3 days it’ll be back to normal, but at the moment it’s not too promising. It’s still red, bleeding, and still hurts like a bitch. Hell, I can hardly walk. Again, not very eventful.

With schoolwork largely out of the way as a second semester senior, I’ve taken it upon myself to watch a bunch of movies I haven’t been able to watch normally. In the past few days, I’ve watched Abre los ojos, [REC], You Only Live Twice, Being John Malkovich, and right after I press “Publish,” I’ll be watching The Hurt Locker.  I tried watching Avatar on 3D IMAX yesterday, but little did I know that the tickets would be sold out. And I thought Taiwanese people didn’t watch movies! Or at least that’s what I inferred after watching This Is It in a half-empty theater during the first-showing. Shows how much I know.

I’ve also been having these crazy dreams lately. But of course, I’ve been having so many that I can’t really separate them from each other. But I recall…getting shot by a Yakuza gang…that was strange. I’m racking my brain to try to remember some more, but alas, I cannot (UGHHH THIS IS KILLING ME!!!).

And at the moment, I’ve been playing the Jason Mraz: Live at Java Joe’s album on repeat. I never liked Jason Mraz too much, but after listening to his early live albums, I’ve gained a newfound respect for his music.

I’m pretty much too lazy to come up with anything substantial to blog about, so this is the best I can do for now. Bear with me.
