For (100%) koreans, it is not easy to do something like this, i mean dress up and go somewhere together as a group. so this was kind of a big deal. i was the one who came up with the idea, and took care of everything; i was like the party planner. oh wow... being a leader is very very hard (of course) anyways, after dinner, we went to our preacher's house for a sleep over. so, i wanted to make a video using the notes i took in class. i made it for our church website so it is in korean. the songs are by a korean singer named "rain". he is actually known in the u.s. he had a very small part in the "speed racer" too.

anyways... enjoy :)

2. How do both films deal with issues of readability, legibility,understanding, and misunderstanding? What different levels of reading arethere and how do they compete and/or compliment each other?context.

in both films, we sometimes could not understand and i thought that was because back then technology was not that good. but (before joe told us that it was ment to be like that,) i was thinking maybe it is becuase the person who is receiving the letter/listening, did not really focus on what they were saying. we were actually hearing what they were hearing. the car driver had to focus on driving more than listening to her, and the daughter was very busy with her life in NY so eventhough she loves and misses her family, she did not have time to read and answer to it right away but she could skim through it. and the contents of the letters were almost the same.

Amazon.com

Andy Warhol , Kenny Goldsmith; don't they both start to talk about something and then end up talking about something else or stays with same topic but make the readers confused? i think the big differance between them is that andy warhol writes in full sentences, but kenny goldsmith has a lot of lists of words and 'uh'.

I wonder about how this website was created, I know that taxi invented miniskirts..ha. For some reason I thought amazon.com was red not orange, I do not like their logo though. Can’t they be more creative? There is this orange smiling mouth under Amazon, meaning we will be satisfied with the results it gives us? Wireless portable reading device, rings under a hundred dollars, T-Mobile phones, bestsellers in learning and education. And oh yea Halloween is coming. Actually this Friday, I believe. I am not invited or planning to attend to a Halloween party because I am loner. I am getting sick and tired of people asking me what I am going to be disguised as, they go “what?!” when I tell them I am not planning to celebrate, and also I lie about how uninteresting Halloween is to me. And then they talk about what they will be wearing, how there will be uncountable parties they will be attending from Friday until Sunday. Anyways there are shoes, bestsellers in audio, TV and Home Theater. I love their new iPod. It is very cute and colorful. But I am happy with my black nano my brother gave me. My brother bought nano when it came out then bought the big one, the one we can put videos in it, then later he bought touch screen one. And now he is planning to get the iPod phone thing. And my dad has the same big iPod my brother has but different color. What a waste of money. Really. On the bottom of this webpage, there are top selling books and of course there is one about diet. I am twenty one years old and I feel like I have been on a diet for twenty years. Why every one on the media does has to be so skinny? I hate diet. My friends always tell me I am skinny but I think they are lying. Or they just say that I do not become skinnier then they are or something.

What am I looking at? Amazon.com, yea ok. We can find a lot of interesting or not, stuff, I think we can search for anything; uh just about anything we want to buy. Top part is blue, left part is orange, background white and writing are in black. What an ugly color match. Create your own trilogy with sci-fi costumes... Uh they picture of the woman for the women’s costumes is hot. Uh I am a girl but yea I think it is hot. I want to look like her, I think every girl does. Uh I will be going to the gym planning to run on the running machine for at least half an hour but I know I will run for like five minutes and give up. All I care about right now is school, diet, and shopping. I do not need a boyfriend. Eww for boys. Hey it would be awesome if I could shop for my ideal guy on this website. Height; 1m85 body; skinny with muscles eyes; medium mouth; medium hands; big sexy hands please style; neat and stylish etc; Christian, rich, smart, 23-26 years old, nice, sweet, cute smile, tanned, gentle man, future doctor or lawyer, funny, romantic, strong, sexy, sportive, Asian or Caucasian… but not perfect. Uh

e-mails

it was so weird to see that there is no e-mails from Joe !!
(ok so,he was in NY? wow)
it has been only what? 3weeks or so of class, and I am already used to something? i mean reading e-mails from Joe is like eating;
say it is luch time and if there is food to eat, good, but if there is nothing to eat.....hungry! give me food..
hmmmm what am i saying? haha
ok, i am having hard time explaining :)

Un ChiEN andaLOU

While watching this film, all I was thinking about was “Eww, weird, it’s so random, what the...?” but after the film was finished, I thought about it, and I loved it!! It is so confusing and all that, but I really would like to watch it again.

since i got sick, i should stay home and watch Luis Buñuel’s other films. :)

card Game

Every day, I play card game that is on my computer or on my cell-phone whenever I get stressed, or when I am busy to calm down and think about what to do; plan things out in my head. I play spider solitaire every day. At least five times a day. I did not think about it very seriously until I saw the homework; “Play a game. Think about how the game structures time. How does the "game" effect or reflect the "real world." What do games have to tell us about "everyday life? …"”. The rule for this card game is very simple. In order to get the most point while playing this game is to make least mistakes/clicks you can and get everything put in order as fast as you can. I was thinking about how can I relate this to everyday life? I had trouble, I actually thought about it for days but since I do not and I do not like playing games except this kind, I just kept thinking about it. And yes! Even a card game reflects our everyday life. For example, in school, we try to get pass every class we take so that we do not have to waste our time and money to retake it, we try to get done with school as fast as we can which is four years. It was interesting to see how card games I play every day reflect the real world. Wow…

EVERYDAY... hmm
family, friends you see everyday,
the starbucks lady you see everyday,
your dog, your bed, your cell-phone, your car, your city
there is a lot in one's everyday life... but imagine, suddenly, those things in your everyday is not there... we even freak out when we can not find our cell phone.
imagine if your mom was not there anymore........
i had this weird dream... like the one tom cruise has in the movie 'vanilla sky'

anyways,. it was creepy
maybe it is because this sunday is my mom's b-day and this "Everyday" class is in my head all the time:)

after reading "EVERYDAY"

I was glad to know that I was not the only one who had tough time reading the EVERYDAY book. And also glad that I did get some parts of every essay. Well I think it is like bible. You only understand the parts that really touch you. I found myself being very concentrated and understanding Maurice Blanchot’s ‘Everyday Speech’ essay. I was actually nodding my head when reading this part; “The everyday is the movement by which the individual is held, as though without knowing it, in human anonymity. The everyday we have no name, little personal reality, scarcely a face, just as we have no social determination to sustain or enclose us. To be sure, I work daily, but in the day – to – day I am not a worker belonging to the class of those who work. ” (39) I am too working daily but do not belong to the class of those who work. My classes are in the morning so that I can work from 2p.m. -7p.m. then I go to the gym, come home, do my homework and go to bed. The exact same thing repeats Monday through Friday. “The everyday is human. The earth, the sea, forest, light, night, do not represent everydayness, which belongs first of all to the dense presence of great or bun centre...” (39) I am the one makes decisions, I mean I am the one who is suppose to be in charge of my everyday life but it feels like I am being dragged by the time.

all by myself ...

[10/01/2008 's class]

the first thing i noticed was that there are so many trash e v e r y w h e r e ! 98% were related to food. we cannot live with out food, people get so sensitive when they are hungry, we need money to get food. but once we get full, done eating them, we get reed of them like "they aren't that important anymore" but like a second ago we were like "oh please.. i would do anything for them. i'm hungry!!"

anyways..making the slide show was harder than cuz i had like more than 50 pictures to choose from. but i really enjoyed making it too!

enjoy:)

20 minutes a rien faire !

20 minutes of doing nothing !

Every morning right after I wake up, before I do my homework, and before I go to bed, I take about five to ten minutes doing nothing just to relax because I stress a lot for even a very small thing and to make sure I did not forget anything because I tend to do that a lot of times. Therefore I thought twenty minutes of doing nothing would be piece of cake. Ok, I was wrong. I started to do my twenty minutes of nothing at my part time job. I am a cashier at a dry-cleaner and from 2o’clock – 4o’clock; it is not busy at all.
Five minutes passed really fast, and I am sure I did not do anything, not even thinking. Then ten minutes in I started to think about what does the professor mean by twenty minutes of nothing? Am I doing it right? Was I supposed to be standing up, sitting down, or lying on my bed, have my eyes open or closed? Because I am watching people pass by, I am thinking about my best friend’s 21st birthday present, what am I going to eat, how am I going to write about my twenty minutes of doing nothing? Oh well.
I found very interesting to see the people who were passing by the cleaners. All of them looked like they were being chased by something. There is seven-eleven on the left side and a teriyaki place on the right side of the dry cleaner I am working at. Some were grabbing teriyaki for their late lunch or some stopped by seven-eleven to get some snacks. I could not see, at least for twenty minutes, people who did not order teriyaki to-go or shop at seven eleven for more than five minutes. Wow… everybody seems so tired, stressed and busy. “c’est la vie”
I looked at my cell phone and … yay four minutes left! At that moment I thought twenty minutes of nothing/ thinking is piece of cake. But that last four minutes felt like four hours! When I looked at the time, thinking I am done, it showed three minutes and forty five seconds were remaining. Meaning only fifteen seconds passed by! OMG. This if how my twenty minutes of nothing passed. I realized again, that when we do something or be with someone we like, feels like there is not enough time. But when we do something or be with someone we do not like that much, there is too much time. I think it just depends on oneself how he or she does, meaning even though one is doing something or is meeting with someone he or she does not like, just try to enjoy that time. One will have to do that or be with that person anyways so just have fun!
