Elegant caterpillars concoct belligerent antonyms,...

3 hour bus ride, bonding with EPAC, dog sledding, attempting my CCO app, deep deep snow, no homework….

Red Secrets →
Only 16 out of 21,568 volumes of the documents the Chinese government released are on the Cultural Revolution era between 1966-1976. (Others date from Chinese history starting in 1906)… how many secrets are left untold? When will everything actually come out? I was just discussing hidden secrets of government at dinner tonight because Van Jones is coming for Green Cup. My friends wanted to...
an ode to a laundry card
dear laundry card:
it’s oh so clear
why i hold you dear
so please appear
you’re quite needed
but the unimpeded
messiness of my room left unheeded
has made you quite hard to find.
please return.
one of those nights
when you curl up with a book and tea (and an apple), fall in love with reading and being out of the cold and forgetting about the other things you have to do.
and fall asleep.
but wake up realizing that tonight’s the night you want to have an insightful conversation with someone you don’t know well or would like to get to know better?
the impromptu ones are the best, but perhaps as...

Meditation
color-dujour’s post here reminds of so many things. it’s strange because it feels like I’m going to be writing one soon… I had a conversation with Mr. Weber the other day (my prep spring English teacher). He was kind enough last fall to send me his meditation that he read in its entirety. You discover so many things about him, and appreciate him more. He told me that he had...

Proud to be Chinese →
This is kind of old but Olivia raises good questions. “Lim and Wu were born in Thailand while Wang and Lam were both born in San Francisco, California. All four men were educated within the U.S., and now call New York City their home. I wonder what nationality each man identifies with… their heritage is Chinese, but do they consider themselves to be Chinese? Chinese-American? Or...

Fair Trial for Supporters of Proposition 8 →
no matter which side you take, have to admit Meese’s argument that the supporters of Pro 8 will be at a disadvantage to true to some extent… I don’t think the video really goes against them, though. It provides supporters of either side an immediate view of the action and decision-making occuring… any negative comments against the supporters of Prop 8 are already well...
