indoglish
Because I use a lot of Indo on this mostly English site, here's some lingo for the uninitiated:
abang=big brother
ade/adek=younger sibling (gender neutral)
bete/bt=a negative emotion, usually irritation or a bad mood
cewe/ce=slang for girls
cowo/co=slang for boys
ja'im (jaga imej/image)=guarding your social image
kakak (pronounced kaka')=older sibling (gender neutral, or female, depending)
--kak (ka')=honorific for older siblings or 'sempai'
kuliah/kul=college
gwe (sometimes gw, gue)=slang for I or me
SD=elementary school
SK (sometimes es-ka; setia kawan): solidarity, loyalty (among friends)
skul=school
SMA=high school
SMP=middle school
TK=kindergarten
wa=slang for I, me (same as 'gwe')
what are all those 2s? this is shorthand for a 'kata ulang'
or repeated word. ngakak2 is read ngakak-ngakak= laughing very hard
any words that need to be added?

I failed NaNo '07
I could maybe have made 50K, if I'd have sat down and tiped all day instead of grocery shopping, then hanging out, but it would have been really random, and un-postable.
I'm pretty dissapointed, but I'll keep working on the story. Maybe it'll even get finished and posted one day before next the NaNo. -_____-a

The Reality of Love and Rock and Roll
Super ridiculous Indonesian movie about high school boys who fail at life and want to be rockers.
(cut for embedded youtube and random commentary)
Conclusion: This movie is cracktastic genius. Or maybe cracktastic crack.
Aww, Dido misses his big brother, and Ipang misses him back. There's four chapters left, but I gotta get home.
Damn. Part9: transmom has a boyfriend. And his name is Onki. Onki, Ipang. Why does everyone in this movie have crap names? Now Nugi is pissed again, and he's switched to the formal 'anda'. Damn. That's harsh.
Dude, your mom can TAKE YOU DOWN. You AND Chuck Norris. And Jack Bower. You might want to watch yourself.
Ok, ok. I'm really going now.
Why doesn't anyone ever tell me about awesome movies, huh? Why?
DAMN, TRANSMOM! "You don't know what it's like to be a person like me. Always looked at with one eye. Insulted and laughed at. But what really hurts is if my own child can't accept me."
Damn, Indonesian cinema. You so deep all of a sudden. This is like if Bill and Ted suddenly tackled complex social issues with a balance of humor and compassion. Dude, this movie opened with fag jokes.
I am so blindsided my mongrel head is spinning.
REALLY going now.
REALLY.
I need to be drunker to watch the conclusion. Much, much drunker.

sucks
This is the last day I could have gone to practice, because I'm outta here next week, and have final projects due between now and then.
So, as luck would have it, I'm just sick enough to think it's a better idea to stay home. It's hard enough to breathe in men without congestion and coughing. Plus my tenugui keeps falling in my face, and my men himo keep coming loose, and I still can't tie it properly, which means people are always helping me/waiting for me anyway. I don't want to go to a practice where I'll have to be tying/untying the damn thing all the time to breathe, on top of all the tying/untying that comes of my usual ineptness.
I'm always lazy to go to practice, but I'm always sad if I have to miss it. ;___;

head boxers
Because my tenugui keeps sliding into my face to an obnoxious degree, we have this joke that maybe it would be easier for me to wear boxers on my head instead and hope scary-sensei doesn't notice. (There's a kid's way of tying tenugui, that involves folding it up like a hat, but she's already vetoed it. One of the guys thinks that that's stupid, and that I should do it anyway, but scary-sensei is scary. He can snub his nose at her if he wants, but I'm not an idiot.)
One of my friends just sent me this link:
https://www.kendoshop.com/Eng/index.php?channel=view&cate=104100000&number=1001
If scary-sensei is opposed to the hat method, she's probably against elastic tenugui.
Also, I can't always tell if my friend is trying to be helpful, or trying to be a smartass.

Peterpan--Mimpi Yang Sempurna
Mimpi Yang Sempurna
Mungkinkah, bilaku bertanya
Pada bintang-bintang
Dan bila kumulai merasa
Bahasa kesunyian
Sadarkan
Aku yang berjalan
Dalam kehampaan
Terdiam, terpana, terbata
Semua dalam keraguan
Aku dan semua
Yang terluka
Karena kita
Aku kan menghilang
Dalam pekat malam
Lepas, ku melayang
Biarlah ku bertanya
Pada bintang-bintang
Tentang arti kita
Dalam mimpi yang sempurna
Aku dan semua
Yang terluka
Karena kita
Aku kan menghilang
Dalam pekat malam
Lepas ku melayang
Biarlah ku bertanya
Pada bintang-bintang
Tentang arti kita
Aku kan menghilang
Dalam pekat malam
Lepas ku melayang
Biarlah ku bertanya
Pada bintang-bintang
Tentang arti kita
Dalam mimpi yang sempurna

Perfect Dream [1]
Is it possible, if I asked
The stars
And if I started to feel
The language of silence
Wake me
Who is walking
In emptyness
Silent, stunned, stuttering
All in uncertainty
I and everyone
Who is injured
Because of us [2]
I will dissapear
In the dark of night
Released, I soar
Let me ask
Of the stars
About the meaning of us
In a perfect dream
I and everyone
Who is injured
Because of us
I will dissapear
In the dark of night
Released, I soar
Let me ask
Of the stars
About the meaning of us
I will dissapear
In the dark of night
Released, I soar
Let me ask
Of the stars
About the meaning of us
In a perfect dream

tactics
The only way to pull all nighters is to just be at peace with the idea that you're not gonna get any damn sleep. Trying to speed up to make time to catch a couple hours or change just makes you feel the fatigue more.
It's just like those old kung-fu movies say: A man who can bend like bamboo is stronger than a man who tries to stand firm like an oak.
Oh, alright, thats just one chapter of Kung-fu Boy (when he's trying to figure out how to beat Sie-fan for the first time, remember?). I just thought it was cool.

the layout
Wanderlust v2. is a stargate layout.
The idea of the Stargate has always been one I liked: step through and wind up far, far
away. It's Star Wars meets CS. Lewis's wardrobe.
Welcome to wanderlust--v2. out there
