Rainbows...



There's a reason they used to to be called the Rainbow Warriors here at UH. You actually see one pretty much every day in the Manoa valley, which is right behind the school. I didn't get that good of a picture, but it was still pretty sweet. Last Sunday I went up to Lai'e to meet with my mission president and I saw these on the way out there. It was fun to see all the Elders and Sisters from my mission that I hadn't seen in soooo long, for a few it had been over 4 years. Wow, typing that makes me feel old. Most of them have little families started too, which also makes me feel old...

Balls, anyone?

Ok, so I'm in this class about Thai cinema, which has been pretty good so far, but today we watched a movie that was wack. My teacher didn't have anything planned for today, so he told us to e-mail him with some ideas. I looked online and found one that was supposed to be cool, but then I forgot to send my suggestion in, so I guessit was partly my fault we watched something so bizarre. Anyway, today's film was called tropical malady. It starts out with two guys hanging out and having a good time, and it quickly becomes apparent they have a little bit of a gay crush on each other. Ok, a pretty big gay crush actually. There are a bunch of cheesy lines about one guy giving the other his heart, and they stick their hands in each others back pockets, etc...Then all of a sudden, the second half of the movie begins. One of the two protagonists disappears, and the other(who happens to be a soldier) goes looking for him in the dangerous forest. Anyway, the ending was kind of interesting, but the part that got me all worked up was a little before, when for several minutes we watched one of the two guys runs around in the buff. I wasn't really looking even, but at one point there was definitely an exposed phallus. And, when he turned to run away you got a good shot of his balls too. My question is, who the crap voted to see naked man movie??
