There's a movie that just came out in the theaters here called Karate Dog. It really looks like the worst movie ever. Indo certainly gets its share of bad movies. Did some research and it seems it was released in the theaters at home back in the 2004 in US. Saddness. Was hoping it was at least straight to video. Thats not very intresting. ( Read more... )

Alas, I have returned from Bali and once again I resort to the computer to talk to people. I think I'll begin this post with two obvious differences I've noticed in myself since I've been in Indo ( Read more... )

I've come to the conclusion that Bali is not a part of Indonesia. I mean for all intensive purposes it is, but so very different that its not. I'm used to the call to prayer in Muslim Indo, but Bali is like this different world of Hindu temples. I mean once I saw a chicken outside the post office and if I kinda squint a while I'm like oh ya Indo ( Read more... )

I leave tomorrow for Bali until New Years. Yayayayayaayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya!!!!!!!!!!

Today I found out lots of people refer to me as Barbie. I don't even know how to respond to that.

So today I had my mid-terms (well two of them- I have one tomorrow and other classes have presentations instead) and it has brought me great saddness. Maybe not everyone failed, but a lot of people surely did. I told them they should know Mark Twain wrote Huck Finn (for american literature) and they still got it wrong in matching. IN MATCHING ( Read more... )

I just realized this is an Olympics year!!! I love watching figure skating... Wonder if its on TV here. I guess I'll go out on a limb and say Indo might not be too big on the winter olympics. Cool Runnings could have easily been about Indo. Anyway Michelle Kwan is going to compete for the 3rd Olympics. She was so robbed of the gold medal last ( Read more... )

So this weekend I was asked to give a film class about 5 hours away from the university. There's nothing like teaching film in a semi-city (maybe oversized village) where your pretty sure most people have never seen a movie in the theater. Ya, thats when you feel pretty pointless. I mean it wasn't like this was my idea. They asked me too. But ( Read more... )

If anyone who reads this (and I'm not really sure theres too many of you) and happen to be in Santa Cruz and intrested in doing something like this there is a meeting ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like I'm giving an inaccurate impression of America. For example, it is a well known fact that I like Coke. So often (ok like almost everyday) I stop by this little kiosk market thingy and get a coke. And by now they remember me (well actually they remembered mr right a away - now they expect my visits more) and say things like ( Read more... )
