return to china Nicole hasn't been to work the past two nights and I'm not sure if she'll be there tonight. No one else has said anything about her absence, but there aren't that many people that I can ask without drawing too much attention to myself and causing more problems. Naturally I miss her and I still want to talk with her to see where we stand with one another. None of my questions have been answered since that awkward and painful conversation with her fiance. Thankfully he left today on his week long vacation without her, so calling her at home shouldn't be a problem. ... Mondays are usually quiet days for me and today fit the pattern. Sleep came easily as I settled back into the couch with a couple of blankets. ... I watched the final installment of Joe Millionaire and have come to the conclusion that I am more sentimental than I would like to admit. The show has no substance yet I watch and wonder what will happen next. Then the questions start in my head. How could two people really come to know one another through a television program? Is this something to be believed? Why should we care? Someone must have cared since it drew millions of viewers last week. Maybe in an effort to offset the questionable world of romance television, I watched part of Temptress Moon with the lovely Gong Li. As of now I haven't seen enough of the film to form an opinion, but I doubt that I could have chosen a greater contrast to The Pit and the Pendulum. ... Even though I have yet to leave on my vacation, I've already decided where I want to go next year. Yes, I do plan some things in my life in advance rather than just letting everything happen randomly. Russia is my new destination with St. Petersburg first on the list with Moscow second. Then the following year I am heading to China. |
