shocked at tuning to TMC and seeing...
none other than peter feng with the usual announcer guy whose name has escaped me talking about asian images in old films. we tuned in for the charlie chan part of the evening. it was then we (my mum and i) learned that the original guy who played chan wasn't asian at all, but norwiegian. his successor wasn't asian either.
but yeah, i thought i recognised him when i caught a bit of the between movies discussion, then mum said they said he was from university of delaware, and i was like, duh! i used to see him on campus all the time. mum also said he kinda looks like number one son from the chan movies. i had to giggle, cuz he kinda does.
other news, my sister graduated. my big brother (one of the boys i "adopted" in highschool) was the speaker. he's getting a doctorate in philosophy from catholic u, and teaches there. he is, by far, the best speaker mt sophia has ever gotten for graduation. trust me, i've been to almost all of them. big bro was in the first grad class, i was in the third. its so wierd to think on it, cuz we were talking to another homeschool mom who has a child with a "disability" about it. asberger syndrome= high functioning autistic kid. my disability is ADHD-I= kid with hyperactive potential, but really is very quiet and would rather read than be in a crowd. oh, and both come with insanely high IQ's. not to brag. i can't really, cuz i suck at street smarts, but i gots book smarts out the wazoo.
what the hell is a wazo anyways? and wouldn't it be painful to have anything out of it? who started that expression anyways? its like telling ppl you're all right, which is a flat out lie. duh, everyone's half left. its a physical impossibility to be all right.
see? that's what happens with an ADHD-I mind. it goes at 157mph, and detours as often as it wants.
the mind is hard to check, it is swift and wanders at will. ~ budda (i forgot the rest of that quote...)
ok, now i've gotta go and try to stop the running of my brain and force it to sleep. gotta work in about 5 hrs.
