Been Three Weeks
Been nearly three weeks since I posted — it’s my first post of February and only my third of 2005. Just goes to show how out of it I’ve been. Looking back on the past couple of months, I realize now that I was slowed down by bronchitis. I think it developed from the cold or flu I picked up at the end of November and I ignored it until a couple of weeks ago when I finally went to the health center at UCLA. Anyway, when the doctor asked if I had felt any fatigue I said no but, looking back, I probably was fatigued. The slow start is catching up to me now as I have my first two mid-terms coming up this week, and I also have a dance piece I have to put together for church Sunday.
The theme for the piece is “Revolt”…breaking out of conformity and finding individuality and power. I’m using parts of “Tough Guy” by the Chemical Brothers, though most of it comes from a song called “Tango Forte” by Dublex, Inc., an electronica gem I stumbled upon. Anyway, tonight’s my only chance to mix the music the way I want and then to choreograph it, because I scheduled the first rehearsal for tomorrow night.
With lots of catchup reading and studying to do and the dance piece also on my plate, of course I find myself posting to my website for the first time in weeks. Ah, typical.
By the way, Happy Chinese New Year…I only know it’s this week because my parents kept calling me to come home for dinner last night. It’s actually on Wednesday, but they cooked up a feast last night, and my mom told me to be careful this year, because as a rabbit, and this now being the Year of the Rooster, it’s supposed to be a bad year for me (financially, as she seemed to believe). Well, I’m rejecting that notion because I already had my fill of financial problems over the past year, including the past three months, so this year BETTER be a good year. Good thing I don’t believe in the Chinese Zodiac.
Movie Notes: Yes! Another teaser trailer for War of the Worlds came out on Super Sunday. You can see it at www.apple.com/trailers. Also, check out Kung Fu Hustle too. It looks like a very promising and entertaining movie from Stephen Chow. There’s also a trailer for a movie called Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior where they advertise the star, Tony Jaa, as the heir apparent to Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li. It does look like he’s got some skillz.
