life in china explained in 1,584,334 words*
January 19th, 2010we all know i can be pretty down on the us of a but there are things that genuinely cheer me up about my country of origin and most of them have to do with our popcultural output. if i gave examples of what i consider awesome in this arena it would just demean my point in your cultured, chunky glasses framed eyes so i’ll skip it.
harold and kumar escape from guantanamo bay pretty much expresses everything that is manically, delusionally, dangerously great about america. again, i’m not going to bother to explain this; you don’t need to have seen the movie, the title alone demonstrates how amazing/amazingly inappropriate the movie is. basicaly it’s horribly wrong and also terribly right. plus neal patrick harris is on acid and branding prostitutes with his own initials. see above point about horribly wrong and terribly right.
this clip, though it doesn’t have anything to do with china, has a lot to do with communication problems, which, other than food on sticks, is probably what 79% of my life in china is about.
* the title of this post is derived from some super HI-level math having to do pictures being worth a thousand words and my disastrous attempts at learning enough 4th grade math to do decent on the GRE.
