I can't wait for The Hurt Locker to open in Seoul. She should've won since Point Break (1991) and Strange Days (1995)! Such an achievement! And she's a Columbia Film Studies graduate. It makes me feel like we have something in common, and this doesn't happen that often for me. Now it's your turn, Lisa Cholodenko!]]>A Family of Vegabondshttp://www.so-rimlee.com/daily-journal/2010/3/7/a-family-of-vegabonds.htmlSo-Rim Lee2010-03-07T09:27:09ZIndia Russia afternoon dysfunctional functional pajeon vagrant familyMy mother leaves for India in a few days, my brother leaves for Russia for good, who knows when they're coming back. I have a vagrant family. The four of us (including my father) just had homemade pajeon together. This is no ordinary incident for us - all four of us sitting at one table. Sometimes I wish things weren't different and that we could all pretend that there's nothing wrong with us. Sometimes I wish I could go around the world telling everyone I have a functional family. But really, there's nothing any of us can do about reality.]]>Thanks, but No Thanks.http://www.so-rimlee.com/daily-journal/2010/3/6/thanks-but-no-thanks.htmlSo-Rim Lee2010-03-06T12:31:19ZNo Thanks. nightJust like that song I love, I don't want to wait. Just like that other song I love, quit playin' games. And these are the things I am addressing myself, not anyone else. Leave me quiet, I want to write the freakin' thesis and get the hell out of here on time. I want to do some pavin' and I haven't got time for undesired drama. The outcome is important. The process is less important. At least for now. And I am quite the vulnerable type, despite my fierceness. I am not as strong as I want myself to be, and the things happening around me are gurgling my throat with pain. It's like I've swallowed something unedible and big. I get tongue-tied when it all boils down to you. Can we pretend we don't know each other for a while? I'd love it if I could have the freedom not to text you back while I pay for my bagel and cream cheese. We make our own choices and pay our own prices.]]>"Howl" and "Bawl": The Unconquerable Differencehttp://www.so-rimlee.com/daily-journal/2010/3/3/howl-and-bawl-the-unconquerable-difference.htmlSo-Rim Lee2010-03-03T12:40:46ZBawl Howl anger night 아우성 울부짖음Towards the end of 2009, I worked on translating Ginsberg's "Howl and Other Poems" into Korean, cover-to-cover. On the way, I did a Google search and stumbled upon a website where someone else had unofficially translated "Howl(울부짖음)" as"Bawl(아우성)." Being a self-proclaimed beatnik, in the most un-derogatory sense of the word, I was very angry upon the damage that person had done to one of Ginsberg's finest works. This is the doldrum of the day: there just aren't enough translations available still, and someone takes a brave step to do it, and do it the wrong way. I am not saying that my translations, which will stay amateur until the day it is published, are better off; I am just saying that there's a reason culture difference and "cult difference" exist between nations apart from each other for more than three-hour plane rides.]]>So-Rim's Trademark: Lopsided Smile, Feb. 28thhttp://www.so-rimlee.com/daily-journal/2010/2/28/so-rims-trademark-lopsided-smile-feb-28th.htmlSo-Rim Lee2010-02-28T12:36:51ZChesshirecat So-Rim's trademark lopsided smile mirrors nightI had no idea how lopsided my smile was until 2004 when one of my friends told me that I have the "laughing, mocking Chesshirecat look" on my face all the time. That's when I looked myself in the mirror and found out that my right side of the mouth slants up about three times higher than my left. That was also when I observed my right eye is more slanted than my left. And that was when I was through with mirrors at all. In the photos below, I photoshopped the pictures a little to see if I could get rid of the lopsidedness. Well, I tried.

I am blessed with so many beauteous souls. I honestly don't even know how the hell I got to know all of you. Because it's 2:38 in the morning, because you're probably all drunk by now and may never get to see this posting, and because I am totally sober, I take a minute to thank everyone for being, and for being a significant part of my life.
