Say it ain't so

So I survived the typhoon ok. It seems to have passed on, but the nice thing is today was unusually cool. Staying inside more or less all day on Monday gave me cabin fever so I went out and walked around most of the day. I found a vegetarian buffet restaurant that I might try going back to some time.

I saw a bunch of weird stuff today. I've noticed that in DVD/VCD stores, a healthy amount of their merchandise is in fact porn. So once when I was waiting for the movie I'd bought a ticket for to start (Initial D), I popped into the DVD store across the street and there's this weird room sort of separate and then I see all these girls in their underwear on the covers. In one store I went to in Taibei, they didn't even bother to wall off their porn, it's just mixed in with the anime miniseries etc.

I had a couple new classes today, the last one of which, K8-83, promises to be full of surprises. Since most of my classes will ask me if I'm a girl or a boy, now I'll just ask them what they think. "How many people think I'm a girl? How many people think I'm a boy?" What gets me is it's always the boys who think I'm a boy and all the girls are like "Are you crazy, she's a girl!" You'd think if you were a boy you'd know one of your own, right? I guess not.

In other news, check out this account of the proposed new Disney film. If it's actually true I think I might kill myself.
