*Transcribed* The hardest thing in this country in getting from one place to the next with how terrible the roads are! We’ve just spent the whole day traveling since 04:30 this morning. Actually, no, there’s been a lot of waiting around. Let’s start from the top: Wait Period 1 (~1.25 hours) – We reached the checkpoint at [...] *Transcribed* When we got back from the shoot around 21:30 I was trying to find a pack of cards. The guesthouse owner eventually sent someone to go buy some. The men sat in the back playing cards and having drinks while the women sat in front chatting. I wasn’t sure if it was proper to invite [...] *Transcribed* Hesh wanted to go into the town to film some different scenes. When we arrived in the town everyone was staring and talking. I was laughing with S and Tammy saying how we should feel like celebrities!

I realized I can’t constantly be coming up with brilliant ideas on my own… other people must have some too! I’m trying to read books and articles [...] Since I’ve been here, this thought has crossed my mind very often. The answer is: I still don’t know. A fellow Montrealer who lived in Australia for a year told me: “The biggest changes are the [subconscious] things you won’t even notice.” Here’s the thing: I was happy with the person I [...] I REALLY have to get back into the habit of posting something everyday. I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately (which I don’t normally do!) on a variety of topics ranging from business to comics to politics to global terrorism. Maybe I’ll try posting some thoughts about that.About the Computed event: Unfortunately, Patrick and [...] I’ve added a new link to the “Sites I Visit” section. The Kottu website syndicates a bunch of blogs of people in Sri Lanka. There’s a lot of good reading on there and, since I don’t know that much about the political situation here, this is where I’ve been getting a lot of my information [...] |
