homehomehomehomehomehomehome . . . home.
can i just say how psyched i am to go home? i've never been so excited to be in seattle . . . sip coffee at the alki starbucks . . . sip tea at the panama . . . and sip other beverages with friends . . . i feel like a little kid - giddy at how wonderfully colorful and huge his new lolly pop is . . . mmmm ... lollyhome . . .
my friends, i will see you soon.
but first, a quick stop in chicago. oh yes.
p,

| Feeling a Bit Nostalgic . . .
but i'm feeling too lazy to write anything serious, so i made a list.
Golden Gardens 2005 - so while cleaning some old stuff off my computer, i ran across some pictures from waay back, thus the nostalgic mood. lots of good ones: shirt o' shirt of shame, anwar will you marry me (or be my life partner)?, proposing to steve at new china, and pics of jeff lam looking even younger than he does now . . . haha. but i've chosen this one to share. only two and a half years ago, but kozu looks like he's about 12.
.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed - best book i've ever had to read for school. easily in my top 5. i've read it three times this semester, and i'm still wrestling with what Freire says. btw, school is wonderful. i'm learning so much about what i don't know, but am excited to know more about . . . i feel like such a green horn and kid in my cohort, but it's great being able to sit and learn from elders and those who've gone before me. it's been very humbling and very refreshing at the same time. but back to pedagogy . . . go read it now if your looking for a good kick in your conscientizacao.
Some Musical Men . . . who've been good to me lately. and don't judge me, garth brooks is totally legit. in fact, after some good exposure to country music, i've decided i like it. the music is ok, but it's great story telling and soulful. and david crowder . . . he's one funny looking dude.
No Woman, No Cry . . . Bob Marley
More Than a Memory . . . Garth Brooks
Good Morning . . . Kanye West
Cry Mercy . . . David Crowder
Mom in Thailand - yes, my mom is back at it in Chiang Mai. she and a group from presby are on a medical mission trip. they'll be gone for ~2 weeks. please be praying and check out their blog: seattle2zoe weird that my mom'll be living in thailand soon . . . better start saving up those air miles . . .
Home - i've been moving around lately . . . and have traveled to a lot of places i never thought i would (i'll save these stories for another blog). in less than 2 weeks i'm headin back to seattle for my longest home stay since i left. I'M PSYCHED. i haven't seen some of you for what seems like ages (years even for some!), and i'm really looking forward to coming home and sharing some stories and coffee.
Fly in: December 17, 2007
Fly out: January 13, 2008
please call me so we can hang out.
A Few Last Things . . .
1. i got a hair cut 2 weeks ago. didn't cut it for several months before that. so don't worry, it's under control now.
2. no. i am NOT dating my roommate annette. we just had kim chee together. that's it.
3. i really don't want to get facebook, there's so much freedom apart from it . . . but the pressure to rejoin is building. *sigh*
4. it's now 2:30am. perhaps it's time for bed - but i've been having trouble sleeping lately.
5. ochazuke nori has been my staple food for the past 3 months - and i'm still not tired of it. mmmmm . . .
6. yes, i'm still a vegetarian.
7. it snowed yesterday, and i sat outside drinking tea and reading the Psalms - perfect.
8. the end.
good night,
chris
