Monsoons

It’s been a week of inevitability.  The rains have come and so has the Pepto Bismal dance.  I was reading a review of the new Transformers movie, “Revenge of the Fallen,” and the critic said there hasn’t been a Revenge this bad since Montezuma’s.  I can attest to the latter as it is keeping me from going hiking today L Enough diarrhea humor though.  I was able to watch a movie this week called “The Cup”.  It’s a funny little film about a bunch of young Tibetan monks living in Northern India who are obsessed with the World Cup, and sneak out of the monastery to watch games.  Film as a medium of religious expression is far more prominent than I had imagined.  I will be watching Milarepa on the morrow (that’s another way of saying tomorrow that I’ve been dying to work in somewhere).  Additional Buddhist movies on my list are Himalaya and Samsara.  I’d also like to give a shout out to skype.  It was wonderful talking to my family this morning and chatting w/ Tyler and Brandy.  One final kudos goes to orange fanta.  I’ve rediscovered this little treasure, and am thoroughly enjoying it on a daily basis.  I’ve attached a photo of monsoon effects for your viewing pleasure…stay dry J
