Film festival - Day 1 and HAPPY BDAY DAVID

The first day of the film festival was quite nice. I've got to admit though, sitting on my rear end for 8 hours doesn't make me feel very productive. Some of the films were quite nice, others funny, and others made me want to put the characters out of their misery because they were so bad. I was basically in movies though from 3pm until 11pm. I didn't get dinner in there either, besides a candy bar. And by the time I got home around 11:30 at night, I was too tired to eat. I woke up a bit hungry this morning, but there's no food in the apartment and the store doesn't open until 8 in the morning. So I'm writing this then probably going back to bed. There's no reason for me to have woken up before 9 at the earliest! And I've been awake since 6am!

I might have to skip some of the showings that I have tickets for.... I'm worried that I won't have enough time to get my paper completed. I was supposed to have it almost done by Sunday night, but it didn't happen. Come Sunday night and I didn't even have a subject chosen. I'll work on it a lot in the mornings and between movies and see if I can't get something done though. I have another week until it is due.

Yesterday was David's birthday. Since I couldn't actually give him his present, I sent him an sms with it. He gets to go to either Tallin or Finland on one of those ferries. Finland for sure, unless I can get a good enough deal to go to Tallin.

That present saved my day. I got it on my 25h train ride in a "sleaping" wagon from Hangzhou to Xi'an.
