when sour grapes turn to whine, err.. wine
August 16th, 2006
just watch american dreamz. (it’s a request, not a report of a past action)
i’m not a hugh grant fan but i’ve gotten interested in the movies mandy moore appears in. face it, she can sing and act but not really excel in either. anyhow, someone paid for my ticket so i watched it and laughed hard because it was a funny movie. it made fun of "idol" shows and contestants, the us president, I-raq rebels, etc… since i am part of the gnd generation (grim and determined), the movie is really a black comedy, satire, lots of laughs with a whole lot of message like when william williams, two weeks short of training, gets to be sent to iraq (I-raq, not eerak) and gets shot and returns as a war veteran. argh… watch out for iqbal. this actor is so hilarious. where did the production find these actors who played iraqis- iqbal and omer. funfunfun.
of course, the following is more interesting than the above paragraph.
ah, the joys and perils of being part-time in an educational institution - your future gets decided by a respected handful. : ) by this time, they have gotten rid of the old ones who made the department what it is and gave it respect. (read between the lines) oh, i’m not sour-graping. my sour grapes are making themselves into bottles of fine wine and it’s wine that’s not about to turn. anyway, it’s reality - that if you do not have a master’s, your game’s over. come to think of it, when i lost work a year short of my accumulated 15 years in that institution, i found out who my real friends from that office were, people who had the decency to ask how i was and not only assumed i was fine (period). hmmm… only one from my friendster set (ec) asked. ms is exempted as she wasn’t part of my friendster yet. (well, the people in the office don’t even account for 5% of people i know.)
i guess that’s how it is. when you face a tragedy, R E A L, as in velveteen rabbit R E A L, ask you how you are even if they might be fearful of how your response will be. so, here’s my learning on that, even if i know someone is hurting and that i will be rejected, i will still ask how he/she is…only if i know i can be real myself.
oh, i’m just writing this because they did a britney …. oops they did it again, got rid of an old part-timer.
