(Tom Henwood previews assembly footage via video chat of a scene from The Human War, featuring Gil Mantera's Party Dream)

Latest Update: The film is being edited as we speak. Tom and I are doing meetings and watching assembly footage, while I'm here trying to raise funds and tie loose ends in South Korea.

Youngstown Visit: Tom will be arriving on March 18th with a small crew to get the last couple shots of the film. If you are willing to offer help or intern for the day, please e-mail th@sanghafilms.com.

20K More To Go: I am busy trying to come up with inventive ways to raise finishing funds for our enterprise. We are so close now, but we've got to come up with money quickly. If you're interested in helping us raise the final 20k we need to complete the film, please make a donation however small to the donation button below. $100 from 100 Friends: My hope is to get $100 from 100 friends. That would be the easiest way to indie film paradise at the moment. If you've got a bit of cash, please pay it forward. Please also be sure to save your paypal confirmation, as you can write off this donation on your taxes.

Other News: Sangha Films is proud to announce that the next feature slated for filming in 2012 will be Tao Lin's "Shoplifting from American Apparel." Of course, we will chat more about the second film shortly. Now we're busy with getting THE HUMAN WAR ready for next year's premiere.

Please help our movie come into being.

THE HUMAN WAR.

What Rhymes with Orange?

This is a great mystery to poets and writers everywhere?

What rhymes with orange?

This was discussed in my Intro to Literature class Friday.

The professor said, "In cockney English 'hinge' rhymes with orange."

The Spanish word for orange naranja popped into my head. (I would appreciate if any Spanish speakers could provide the answer if any Spanish words rhyme with naranja)

It occurred to me that naranja is a strange Spanish word, it doesn't look latin at all. My suspicion was that it was Arabic in origin maybe.

I asked the professor, "Do you think orange has a strange etymological root?"

He said he didn't know.

I looked up the etymology of orange.

It has a really strange one:

The word comes from the ancient dead language of Sanskrit word naranga.

That in Portuguese traders in the 1400s brought orange trees all the way from Northern India to Europe and the name just stuck.

I feel like a great mystery in my life has been solved.

THINKING

About an hour ago i thought

"I don't even care about my own thoughts anymore."

Then I thought, "Why am I still thinking?"

I'm sure where I stand anymore concerning thinking

I used to be convinced I was very original and had something to say

I have said many things

When I am at Red Lobster holding a broom I feel like I am not convinced anymore

When i'm in class and the professor talks about similes and I can't spot in the turtle poem he told us to read

I don't even feel terrified

I do feel really confident at this moment

Wonder if that is because I'm not thinking anymore

Maybe it is better to be empirical

There is no thinking

Make an experiment

do the experiment

write it down

answers

I don't know why anyone would have an epiphany

because it is 'fun'

I want to create my own language

with its own grammar and punctuation

I don't want to concern myself

with making sense

and supplying information

I want to communicate other things

that don't have anything to do

with information

I wonder if I can do that

I still have to use words though

This is important

the use of english

and maybe some spanish

but i don't want to communicate anymore

I must want

to communicate

or i wouldn't have a blog

why i don't just communicate to people i know

i want to do other things with them

like drink beer and hold hands

and talk shit
