The Experiment

No facebook.

No blogging.

No photography.

No TV.

For 30 days and 30 nights.

Rubber Face

Behold, rubber face.

Exile

A week without parents, life is good.

Not that I've taken advantage of this lull in voyeuristic surveillance of my actions. Not as much booze or weed as I'd like to have consumed, but sobriety does have its perks. I've cut down on photography this week. Everyday has been a generic sunny day, so the lack of different lighting conditions has been boring.

But every once in a while, something like this happens...

Of lost brothers and repressed memories

Watched Gran Torino today.

I hate to admit it, but the ending left me teary eyed. The violent murder of Clint Eastwood's character right at the end brought back two particularly unpleasant memories.

Waking up to hear that a close friend has suddenly died has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. It's a dreadful mix of disbelief, grief, regret, loneliness, fear and anger.

R. and J., we love you and we miss you.

Dry Earth


Something strange happened today. It stopped raining, and the dark gloomy weather was replaced by bright and sunny skies.

Summer has officially begun (hope I didn't jinx it).

Parents are out of town, and won't be back for a week or so. I have the entire house to myself now. Guess it's time to start walking around in boxers.

Hmm, Kim's in town. Must go meet her tomorrow.

Abi Seng'chi


"My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected."

This is Seng'chi, my cousin sister.

She can't speak.

She can't hear.

But she's the one who loves to communicate the most in the family.
