Avoiding work

I've been rapidly catching up on my latest television obsessions: Lost, Prison Break, and 24.

I watched Miracle, the Disney about the 1980 U.S. Hockey team in the Olympics.

Chung King Express is an interesting Hong Kong movie. Apparently, Faye Wong, one of the actresses, is actually or was a really popular rock star in China. She was known as the "Madonna of Mandarin." In the movie, she looked really cute, like a pixie, singing and dancing along to The Cranberry song, California.

I've been researching on various things:
summer programs in Bengal
Burma-Siam Railway memoirs
Zhang Yimou films

I ate Oreos and milk tonight. I loved how the cream and cookie melted or became soft and mushy-like when I dipped it in milk.

Today was a super day in Ithaca. I wore flip-flops and my light coat. I had lunch on Olin Terrace.

I met with Prof. Paterson. Her office is pretty awesome, with a photo of Aung Sang San, the Burmese political heroine, who is on-and-off house arrest in this turbulent country, also known as Mynamar.
