two weeks of rain. seniorec is leaving soon, so we've made a point to skate together more often. i always go home thinking about the conversations. he is a thoughtful man. we skated the bridge on a drizzly night midweek. it wasn't crowded but i felt like i had a weight vest on. i left before lights out, which is unusual for me.
i went to yakitori with a canadian, and hten to pool and darts, where we played loser-buys for the whole night. i walked home and got there just after sunrise, such as it is when it's pouring rain. taipei is a great city to walk through after far too many beers in those sorts of conditions. it isn't cold, so getting wet isn't really a problem, and most sidewalks are under the edge of the building, so you only get rained on when you're crossing a street, and homicidal scooters and taxis are at a minimum because all reasonable people are asleep. yes, there is a contradition there, but darkness of mood prevents me from rewriting.
seniorec and i were going to try the bridge again but when i got there, there were about 50 skaters and 49 dancers, as well as families playing badminton without a net. i immediately turned heel and went home to sulk. i dont hate tehm with all my heart, but syncronized dancing to beyonce has to be the least authentic form of "street dancing" ever. at least they're not sitting at home sulking on a computer.
the bad weather is gone today, but the mood isn't. time for some skate therapy. first dry day in a fortnight.
