I don't know what it is but I find that in the past year or so I have become quite an emotional person. I would say that I am usually perceived as a kind of serious, darkly sarcastic person or something along those lines. Today was spent crying over an old episode of project runway (episode 10 of season 8). It was the episode where they had to design a textile inspired by a personal memory. Everyone got a surprise visit from their moms, which was super emotional, and Mondo, my absolute favorite from all the seasons, revealed at panel that he has been HIV positive for the past ten years, and I just lost it. It's kind of like when someone barfs near/on you and you just can't help but to barf as well. Lately when I see people cry, I feel like crying too or I at least get that tightness in the back of my throat and need a few moments to simma down. Maybe this means I am becoming a more compassionate person? doubtful.

oh, and happy new year by the way. If you are reading this,
I probably love you too.

The Jungle

In 1967, a group of African-American teenagers in Philadelphia made a hybrid documentary/dramatization of their lives in the 12th and Oxford Street gang. In 1968, The Jungle, one of the first films in the US directed by youth detailing the inner workings of their own gang, went on to win the Documentary Film Award at the Festival de Popoli, Italy.

When Hainan Meets Teochew

this looks interesting. It was directed by Han Yew Kwang from Singapore. Not only does one of the main characters identify as Teochew, but the main love story is between two transgender individuals. it opened on Dec 3 but is only being shown in Singapore. must find a way to watch it!
