First off, the OutLoud movie fest is in full swing on the Sundance Channel which means I got to see Bedrooms and Hallways, Hit and Runaway, etc. etc. Most notably: a short film called Liu Awaiting Spring; short with no dialogue save the background music from Peking opera. It's more or less a large music montage about a boy confined in the traditions and expectations of his Chinese background while he contemplates coming out to his parents. Other than the Delta, the Wedding Banquet, and Happy Together, I haven't seen much in the way of cinema dealing with gay Asian-Americans, much less them in interracial relationships. It's something I definitely need to see more of.
And then, after the short film was... the Tony awards! There were far more performances this year than in the previous shows, and I completely enjoyed Thoroughly Modern Millie as well as Urinetown: The Musical.
Today was more or less spent doing whatever in each class. English was spent writing poetry (mainly cinquains). World History had me discussing Disneyland, WW2, and the movie Bent. Chemistry was filled with games of Uno why the cd player belted out Moulin Rouge songs (and naturally, Taylor and Marcy were singing along the entire time).
And now I have finals tomorrow. Am I studying? No. I'm not that worried about the photo final coming up.
