YEAH. 0 comments Saturday, October 20, 2007 of SIAs and ABCDs. 2:02 PM my econ anthro class is seriously driving me mad. i think marx's materialistic world view might be more prominent than weber's idealist standpoint in this case. 0 comments Thursday, October 18, 2007 inspired from economic theory 11:34 PM after studying marx and smith and weber i thought i shd take a break before attempting to decipher becker and look what my youtube surfing came up with. hahaha. i love this! how apt. 1 comments Monday, October 15, 2007 yosemite 1:18 PM so we did our first trip out of davis, and went to yosemite! the weather was perfect, camping was a test and i couldn't feel my fingers in the morning. other than that i polished off the cylinder of chips and 1 1/2 bars of chocolate. do you know how good chocolate tastes when it's cold or when you've been walking for hours or when your feet hurt? AWESOME. that's a very big slab of granite. it might be el capitan. then again it may not. but it's fall look at the colours! there's geri looking like lara croft. after this we attempted to tale a gazillion other angelina joli pictures. our first van. sherilyn, tina, yuko, chiai and another jap girl whose name i can't remember. and danny. LOOK at him. doesn't he look like a younger version of hue laurie i.e house? it's freaky. hetchy hetchy. it's fgorgeous. but when trying not to fall and make a fool of yourself as well as trying to keep up with everybody else you focus on the floor and you don't notice the beauty surrounding you. there's yoshi (who taught me foul words in japanese) and rodriguez (who taught me foul words in spanish), the japanese babes. sherilyn is one of them. bairam, the german turkish guy who doesn't eat carbs (only on thursdays apparently) but drinks like a fish and is great at making camp fires. i tried to tempt him into eating an oreo but it ended with him telling me how many calories it had and i got depressed and i ate it. i love this picture. yosemite is fantastic, even going a 2nd time was breathtaking. i love it. it's peaceful, and fun esp when you go with random strangers who are very good sports. fun loving spanish and italians, cute little japanese and random germans. and entertaining guides. next week, tahoe. 0 comments Saturday, October 13, 2007 what it means to be brown 1:30 PM in other news, i suggest that you all bake some cookies, preferably chocolate chip, and while the cookies are baking run out and buy some ben and jerry's cookie dough ice cream and then eat them together, when the cookies are semicooled and still warm and gooey. it's addictive, sweet, and absofuckinglutely delicious. if you want to guarantee yourself clogged arteries then be sure to add a generous helping of hershey's chocolate syrup on it. see you in chocolate hell.

(seriously they do NOT dance around coconut trees, they've progressed to the mountains of switzerland and the streets of new york) must be bollywood. and laughing at such a video, that's fine. but laughing without knowing the indian cinema industry and how it works is just irritating. you laugh because they have (according to you) funny dance moves and it's sung in a weird language (hello people actually speak this weird language, even in singapore, yes they do!) and they wear funny clothes but this is an inherent part of this culture. i'm sorry if the K-pop and J-pop and taiwanese and mandarin markets have that much western influence. honestly, there isn't much difference between MTV asia and MTV anymore. appreciate the fact that there's an industry out there that has identity, it's own character and personality. that these industries (be in bollywood, kollywood or anything else) have a history and a legacy with its own well known and well respected actors, directors and producers. appreciate the variety - from the mtv style pop routines to the classy bollywood numbers to indian folk to classical indian dance forms, indian cinema celebrates diversity. and apparently this diversity is laughed AT and not laughed WITH. that's the difference. go ahead and laugh. admittedly some of it is funny shit. laugh with, don't laugh AT. you laugh at when you compare it to the style that you are used to and you make an unconscious judgment that what you are watching is the weirdest thing on earth. grow up, other cultures exist other than yours. this is the kind of shit that leads to people reacting with 'wow so you know bollywood dancing/bhangra' (apparently they are the same thing) when i tell someone i learn indian dance. and then they tell me 'i also know indian dance!' and they enthusiastically put their palms together and attempt to shake their necks which could easily be mistaken for muscle spasms. so stop it, we don't dance around coconut trees. i think this is the result of me doing a module on asian theatre and drama. haahah. 1 comments Saturday, October 06, 2007 exchange 11:27 AM i now know that cutting onions while watching america's next top model (oh come on! it was down to the final 2!) is a bad idea. on the good side, i no longer cry when cutting onions. my tears have self control now. or perhaps i was too shocked at my finger dripping blood over the white counter. 0 comments |
