I heard war planes are circling overhead. I went to the roof to make some skateboards.

The sunset was like a bonfire in an icecave. 

Testament to my failure: Tiny bit of blue sky and white cirrus, low rushing clouds in the opposite direction. Steel grey blue of cloud vs invisible distant blue of sky sounds of birds and traffic. whispy grey night clouds to the east raining grey clouds in the mountains the king of buildings is hidden in the white blue grey rain clouds but only the tip. downwards, neon flashing blinking lights and people like large insects. construction cranes like giraffes. 

One moment of the evolution of the sky was so intense that I dashed downstairs to get my phone so I could take the notes, but when I got back upstairs, the sky was no longer even worth photographing and the atomic explosion in the sky I was hoping for either had happened while I was downstairs or didn't happen at all. When I got back up, I heard a crash on the street below, and listened the whooshing AC units on all the rooftops roaring like waterfalls. THere were no sirens, so I guess it turned out ok. Airliners swooped in slowly, their timing out of sync with the rest of the world, like those 90s music videos of someone singing in realtime while the rest of the world timelapses around them. 

The mountains went black and the clouds went pure white around them. The sky towards china had a red streak across it like a cut throat. The red light bled away the ebbing of day. 

Venus appeared like a welder's flash through the clouds. The city lights came on and it was like the transition of day to night in no man's sky. I wonder how many people missed the sunset. I missed the best part of it by going to get my phone. 

6pm and dark. Now it's time to head up to 圓山 for some skating.
