left-handed wanders

Hello readers. If you may not know I just turned twenty this week.

(Yey!)

Though I’m not explaining where I was for the past couple of weeks, let me just say that I missed you. More particularly this cramped text area.

Let it suffice to say that I’ve shed all the angst and embraced young adulthood.

Unfortunately, I missed a lot of interesting things that I was supposed to blog about. For example this new Bonnie Pink album that came out, My horror PI class, my love for my new very-low end celfone and etc. But i’ll let them all slide cause they’re the stuff of a stale post. I mean, if the zeitgeist was that short we would be three periods away from the present.

If I can give you 11/22/06 in a nutshell it would read like this:

Lefthandedwonder receives a phone call around ten-ish from zia, she hasn’t greeted him yet:

Zia: Ei, can you give me the copy of the creative brief tomorrow?

LHW: Wow.

Zia: What?

LHW: WOW.

Zia: Yeah. I know it’s your fuckin’ birthday

LHW: Wow.

Zia: So?

LHW: whore.

Zia: So what happened?

LHW: nothing

Zia: Didnt get a girlfriend?

LHW: …

(Cuss words and profanities were added for dramatic effect)

(And it wasn’t that bad. Thanks for all the people who wished me well!)

LHW’s CHRISTMAS PREVIEW 2006:

It’s the holiday’s already. Though I’m only really lookin’ forward to it for the extra bum time before all hell breaks freakin’ loose. (Thesis and finals before Graduation)

C’mon
Does anything significant happen to a middle class (wait lower middle class?) family on a holiday?

None.

So im used to the non-Christmas spirit our household gets during December. Seriously. If you can rate your Christmas on the scale of the amount and quality of gifts received–last year I didn’t get anything.

(Mom’s gift excluded)

Good thing I read the Grapes of Wrath during that time.

Don’t even bother about Christmas decorations. We’ve given up the tree ages ago, and for Christmas lights the 11Watt lightbulb on our front door is all you’ll get.

So there’s not much hype on Chrismas for me at least.

But

it ain’t reason to feel sad about.

Actually I can say that Christmas nowadays should be practical.

Get the nuclear and/or extended family together on Christmas eve stuff your guts and go f*ckn sleep. 

Simple and seamless.

So you won’t find any Christmas wishlist on this post.

Coz it wouldnt be depressing. Just Useless.

Happy Holidays!

This is about Star Wars.

Got to see the original Star Wars films again today. And well it felt different.

I liked them a lot.

You see, I remember watching the trilogy when I was a kid, [and my dad never stopped reminding me that--that's where I got my name. (obviously) ]but i didn’t like them (honestly) back then, or maybe I just don’t remember them well anymore so i say, i didnt like them.

He even had this story (ala "Big Fish") on how he named me (which i won’t talk about here).

Being named "Jedi" can be pretty interesting. I personally have seen a lot of reactions when I introduce myself to people for the first time. 

Here’s the top five:

1. "Ano uli?"

2. "Whoom, whom, mhhumm" (Lightsaber sounds)

3. Nickname lang ba yan"

4. "I am your father"

5. "Really?"

and a host of other reactions.

But I digress.

Even though some SFX are crude compared to the prequels, I now see it. the original three are better: not acting wise, or "(x")wise you just have to see it.

again if you have to.
