Marvel fanaticism still going strong. Spending the next three days without an Internet connection—which, yes, is in my future—might calm me down. But I'm loading my Nook way the hell up before I go, so who knows.

Yesterday was crazy—two of my friends were leaving the country this morning, so we and some other friends met up in Taipei that afternoon to hang out and shop and stuff. On the way to this show we hit up Long Shan Temple (龍山寺) and the a night market which was famous for snake meat ... apparently. There were a lot of snakes. And then we took the MRT to Chiang Kai-Shek and saw the show!

Most of the details are a little fuzzy for me, because I was sleep deprived like woah, since I'd been up all night on the phone with my brother [personal profile] reign and then got up at six-thirty to see my roommate Hitomi off to the train station. I do remember it was a lot of fun, and maybe the only time I've done the obnoxious loud American tourist routine in Taiwan (that I am aware of) since everyone in our group was either American or spoke fantastic English. ALL WISECRACKS AND LOUD LAUGHTER, ALL THE TIME. But it was fun. Me and my friend had to call it quits early, though, due to tired, and took a midnight bus back to Taichung, so it was really just a day trip.

Started packing, though I've got like three weeks left. I don't own nearly as much shit as I thought man. Most of this shit's going straight to the garbage.
