I never thought I would be editing throughout the night outside of school...

So back in college I was used to editing throughout the night and loosing track of time on projects...

So a bunch of decided to work on this video contest for the movie Click. The topic is "what would you do if you had the universal remote?"

I guess I have forgotten how fun this stuff could be...I'm running on 3 hours of sleep, downing caffine, and trying to be productive today....

Full House

In light of the World Cup spirit...

I guess I could never be a Monk...




Cambodian Monks Given Permission to
Watch World Cup...Quietly

12 June 2006

The chief of Cambodia's 40,000 Buddhist monks says his charges can watch the World Cup - but they have to be quiet about it.

Supreme Patriarch Non Ngeth said that, ideally, monks shouldn't watch television, but modern technology and the popularity of the World Cup makes the games hard to avoid.

However, Non Ngeth has imposed some restrictions. Betting on matches is strictly forbidden. And monks shouldn't cheer out loud, because that would violate the serenity they try to cultivate. Non Ngeth told the Associated Press, "Cheering or screaming while watching TV are acts appropriate for children. Monks may not act like that."

This may be a case of life imitating art. In 1999, Tibetan monk Khyentse Norbu directed a comedy film about the attempts of some youthful monks to watch the World Cup in their mountain monastery. The film "Phorpa" became an international hit.
