absolute CRUNCH time. will let you know if i survive churning out a thesis in 2 days (and the obscene amount of caffeine surging through my body now)

BIG SIGH.


sigh

14-15 August: Hong Kong - Amsterdam - Buenos Aires

Another thirty-six-hour flight into everything I've spent more than half my life flying away from: mediocrity rather than identity, borrowed values rather than ideas of one's own. All the reasons I hated and left Australia so long ago come closer with each time zone and more terrifyingly magnified through the bottom of each in-flight glass. Don't try for me, Argentina... I don't know how I'm going to try for you! Going there we gain a day. Leaving, we lose nothing.

Watch Hou Hsiao Hsien's City of Sadness, Lou Ye's Suzhou River, Jiang Wen's In The Heat of the Sun, and Edward Yang's Yi Yi (A One and a Two) when you can!
