Serenity

Heh. I love all the random 'asian' in Serenity--the chinese for instance. It is perhaps stereotypical and slightly bigoted based on some perspective you could take of the movie, but I secretly thought it was hilarious. I'm sure that the writer/director wanted to emphasize the fact that chinese will be an important feature of the future.

I went to the movie with Brian. What a sweet guy. I've definitely got a crush on him. I'm not ready to really say that to him or really accept it myself, but I know I got one. :P. Shoot. Grrr. Sometimes it's hard to live life without being hard on yourself or hard on others. But, right now, I'm doing all that I can do.

I'm happy with that--though at moments my thoughts aren't thus. Flip-flopping as much as the conservatives said that Kerry did. :S...that's probably not a good thing. But this battle with suffering is becoming more important everyday--I also know that I will win.

I want to see a happier world. Olivea gave a short report on the YD meeting last weekend. Man! It reminded me of what Nagashima-san's words, especially those of fighting for justice. I was also reminded of Nathan's visit here a month or so ago--where he said that the real structure of societies are revealed in times of crisis. Obviously, we've revealed what the US society is truly like--there is still class oppression, racism--perhaps, and definitely a gap between the rich and the poor. Hopefully this has stirred us to make changes in our enivironment.
