okay after class today i was like "yo i need a nap" especially since i didn't get home from studio until 3:30. and this is what happened:
so my GSI (but i think they only call them that in Berkeley...you know, a T.A.) for my studio class was taking us on a field trip to look at these dolphins. and we went into this one man's backyard, which was set up like a shamu stadium...so legitimate. and then we entered this pool of water and out came these two dolphins. and they were so different. one was like furry and blue-grey and had a short nose and had the letter "C" carved into its side. and the other one was smaller and light grey and really rather forgettable. anyway, our class was talking and there was this one guy who's last name is "Wong," so i had always pronounced it as "wong." but everyone was giving me uneasy looks and i was like "heh?" and then finally this man who's family name is the subject was like "i'm sorry, please stop. my last name is not pronounced 'wong,' it's pronounced 'huh-win'" so i'm like 'ope. my bad' but he goes on to explain how it's highly offensive that i didn't know how to pronounce his last name because there are two different kind of Wongs in the world...those that pronounce it "wong"...and they the good ones. and the "huh-wins" who are like savage people who hop on clouds....
BIZARRRE!
bottom line, get some sleep.
and consider this strange story my attempt to re-enter to blogosphere.
i be gone for so long! sorry, september was crazy...academically and otherwise. but just to remind you that i'm alive, here's a lil something something.
i recently started subscribing to a Word of the Day emailing list. which has been good because i remember zero of the words so far.
but perhaps i will remember today's word:
yes, titivate.
application time: let me titivate this weblog post by adding some photos of:
- lady gaga's back up dancer has a thong over his face. weird
- lady gaga hefts her left leg onto a piano. weird
- non-disabled girl in wheelchair is wheeled onstage, then off. weird
- lady gaga starts bleeding randomly. weird
- lady gaga sings really well. weird
vma's were crazy!
taylor swift, i believe in you. and i watched your music video. you're funny (but i think unintentionally) when you sing "i'm in the bleachers" and go all emo. holla!
so yeah...it was sad being m.i.a. from berkeley while everyone was coming in.
but instead, i was sneak peaking at this bad boy:
i hope i'm allowed to say the following without getting busted (sup choir directors!) but i thought it was pretty funny....especially if you're into FOBs and the like. and i think the choir sounds grade-A...hitting those harmonies that i so enjoy. and they hath filmed a promotional vijjeo:
so this weekend i'll be back in SF to watch this baby (and i have a cameo...holla to the directors for the hook ups). ticket prices are free.99 so if you want to come, tell me! unless i don't know you (that means you, cyber world)...in that case, stay out my face.
