28 Oct 2007 | Thoughts are now definitely elsewhere
I walked to the library just about ten minutes ago, and the scenery outside was just… cold and drafty, but… the sky was a pure cerulean blue, and golden and brown and red leaves were falling all over the place… and on the ground, there were swaying patches of intense sunlight and then cool darkness below the trees… and the clouds, although white, had ponderously darker gray shadows underneath, as if they were deliberating on whether to rain…
GAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Scratch all of that out!!!
I just found out TODAY, that Jay Chou’s newest album, Jay Chou on the Run, is being released globally on November 2. Which is five days from today!!!
I found a decent post on a Jay Chou news forum describing his new musical direction and what he’s doing with his image for the album… which is, needless to say, COWBOY ATTIRE! I was just perusing Misaki-san’s blog for posts I missed since my brief absence, and she posted the YouTube video for Jay Chou’s newest music video. I must say, I was a bit shocked, but the video was frickin’ awesome!!! American cowboys never looked so good.
Anyway, got to go. I’m going to go hunting at Goodwill for pieces of my Halloween costume. I’ll tell you more about that later.

Before seeing that video, I had already given up on a new Jay Chou album coming out this year, what with his movie and all. I gotta say, he’s still got it.
About the mv, basically the guy fabricates a letter of acceptance from some US university and mailed it to himself for his girlfriend to find and open. He then departs for the university, saying that he’ll be back soon. After a time his girlfriend receives that package (diary thing) in the mail and finds out that he really had a terminal illness with only a month’s time left. He decided to leave because he couldn’t stand to see her sadness.

Ah, after listening to November’s Chopin and select songs from Ye Hui Mei, I consider myself a Jay Chou fan-person. XP
Ooo, costume. I’m too lazy to make my own, but I wouldn’t know what to be anyway. Ah, you should take a pic. ^_^
