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

In light of the World Cup spirit...
Cambodian Monks Given Permission to Watch World Cup...Quietly | |
By VOA News 12 June 2006 |
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.
