Never expect anything much from the media. That's one lesson that I've learnt time and time again. The 'promised' 2 pages of coverage turned out to be nothing more than half a page. And... this part made all of us pretty pissed... the dimensions of the flag was reported as 10x4m, and that's a sad mistruth. The actual area of the flag was about 75% bigger. Reporters should learn to get their facts right before rushing to submit their articles...
Anyway, here it is:
Flag day idea gels into form--------------------------------------
This morning, there was what Anna called 'sleet'. Something like larger, iced, droplets of rain, which are not quite just rain but not exactly snow either. The weather's hitting below zero this week... and there's a hail shower forecasted for this Friday. Urgh. I hate hail. Nice to listen to, and interesting to watch, but it can be real damaging. The last I went through a mini hailstorm was when I was in Sydney... should've taken videos then.
Oh yeah, talking 'bout Anna... on Monday when I sat next to her during the lecture, I was greeted with a "Guess what? Xiyu and I saw Tony Leung yesterday!" They went to Curzon Soho for some special screening of Infernal Affairs and Tony Leung happened to be there... right here in London... doing the intro for the screening, and they were like, just four rows away!

Just came back from the bar... Darren was on bar duty. More bawdy jokes... and mutilations of my blue- and white-tac figurines... my poor doggy. Sigh. Next time (as in tomorrow), would someone bring along a pack of cards please?!
