falling water drops reminds matrix

in the pics: prize giving, a very long day, but celebrating students good works.

I feel I haven’t written much lately. A lot has happened lately. Thanksgiving/church/prize practice.

Waiting for a bus that may never show up. Could be frustrating, but this is Samoa, and my sense is the All Volunteer conference was not very well planned. (but it happened nicely). Someone told me “oh, whoever was in the office got asked to help plan.” Also said there is a bus at 8:10am. It’s not 8:45am..i’m still a very time oriented person it seems.

I sat on the ocean wall last night after a yummy thanksgiving dinner (with all the trimmings) and a movie (eagle eye—scary and sad at the end). It’s interesting who comes to say hello when you just sit, be still. I can sit almost anywhere and a samoan will come to say hello, or just sit next to me

I was watching the rain (fall from the roof) framed by the door. It reminded me of the falling symbols of the Matrix—I wonder if that’s where they got their inspiration.

Friday was the Halloween party for all volunteers in Samoa (Peace Corps, Japanese vols, Aussies)—grissly ghouls and demons from every dimension (not to mention teenage mutant ninja turtles, litterbugs, and a baby). I was Found Object man. Not the scariest of things, but oh well. The party was a hoppin at a cozy little joint called Zodiac café. The green beer was cheap and flowing. The food was a scary price for a bit of fries and a hot dog. I had a slamming headache to go with the slamming music. I sat back in the chair and let every thing absorb…looked up and saw a star fall out of the sky.

Star light, star bright
Falling fast and furious

Do not forget the fight
Of those before and
Those after.

Shine light bright in your flight
So that you will fight with right might.
