Messgae 777

Yesterday Mimi and I met Vanessa and Reggie for breakfast at Heidi's Pies. Afterward Mimi went back to San Jose where her mother is now being fed through a tube through her nose with her hands tied so she will not pull it out again. I went home and finished reading The Economist and started reading Science. In the evening I watched a DVD of the Chinese movie Temptress Moon. I had completely forgotten it from my previous viewing when I gave it 2.9 stars. I still agree with this rating, although I now appreciate it more. It is a classic story, sort of a Chinese Romeo and Juliette, about how the absurd customs of a decaying and collapsing society of early 20th century century China ruins the lives of everyone, especially women.
