Si Dennis hindi man lang nagsasabi. Well, congrats po! Libre mo kami ha. Hehehe.

In other worlds naman. Noong Huwebes ako ay umattend** ng isang professorial chair lecture ek ng favorite undergrad teacher ni Jol. I had to introduce the guy, and since I couldn't just say, "Hello people, here's Mr. Reeves. Now listen to him, uhm, lecture..." I had to dig into what he's done in the last two decades. Now my home computer decided it didn't want to help me, so he swallowed what little info my google search amounted to. The dude has no internet presence. The following day, I asked Butas Na Chucks to do a supplementary search for me, and we came up with the same stuff. I ended up saying, "Hello people, here's Mr. Reeves who wrote a dissertation on .... and played the kumintang in New York. Now listen to him, uhm, lecture..." Galing noh? Hehehe.

Anyhow ulit. I sat way up front, so I had no choice but to listen. I was tempted to count how many times he cleared his throat and whipped out his huge bandanna of a hankie. During those times, naalala ko si Jol nung earlier years, na lagi ding may panyo noon. Jol, kunyari ka pa ayaw mo sa kanya, pero lagi mo naman siyang ini-impersonate. Hehehe.

About the lecture itself, ito lang ang masasabi ko: How can you talk about something that doesn't exist just yet? Ideas pa lang yun, and ideas are in constant revision until you commit them to paper. And only then can we say something that will make sense.

Sige I'm going to shut up now before they find me.

**I was there because I had to. They put me in the committee in charge of the darn thing and I must say that we can do better next time. Nasabihan pa tuloy ako ng "You truants!" at dahil dun ako ay muling kasama sa komite ng summer lecture series. Sabi nga ni Butas na Chucks, ito ay dahil kami ngayon ang favorite whipping boy at gels ng aming munting departamento. Bow.
