want to go to qinghai someday


Good news came the other day in the form of part-time employment. Originally I was planning on trying to squeeze time into my winter schedule to be a TA in the anatomy labs again, but I think I've decided to trump that for a position working in the organic chemistry lab instead. I talked to my former boss Gary through e-mail; he hadn't forgotten about me, in fact he was expecting me to come back and work. I would get paid, whereas working in the cadaver lab wouldn't earn me any money. Furthermore, one of my coworkers happens to be one of my favorite people in Eugene, Mike Lyons, a former roommate of mine in the Mill St. 8.
I caught another cold right after I recovered from the last, so spent a couple hours today at my favorite teahouse around town called 一路思雨 which I guess can be translated into something like "thinking/longing for rain all along the way." Fitting for my life since I always end up back in the rain.
Last night I watched one of the coolest Chinese movies ever called "可可西里kekexili" concerning a true story spanning the mid-90's about a Beijing reporter who goes to Qinghai Province in order to cover a story about a vigilante band of Tibetans trying to enforce law on illegal poachers of an endangered Tibetan antelope. The cinematography is awesome and the movie is composed well... some crazy shit goes down. I recommend it.
