It's so dry in Lake Chelan area

Last weekend we went to Lake Chelan area for the first time. I didn't want to go there at first, coz I know it's desert area and it's corwded, and our experience this time proved that I was right.

It's desert, so drrrrry. Not only the air, I feel my skin is shrinking too. So dry. and I wanted to see some green so badly. I didn't realize how much I love trees and forest, until I came to the desert. You must think I've never been to a desert, but you are wrong, I've been to New Maxico, and Lake Chelan totally reminds me how I felt in New Maxico -- I missed trees.

There are some good things about this area, first it's hot. I felt like getting more sunburn than the rest of the summer. And I don't like the feeling coz I grow freckles easily. But also bcoz it's hot, the water was warmer, and we got to play more water sports, such as jetski or simply swimming.

However, hot weather also bring bugs, a lot of bugs. We got surrounded by bees in our campsite, and one of my friends got stung. I felt sorry for her and seriously, I hate bugs, and I don't think we will go back to that campsite again.

Another good thing about Lake Chelan area is that the weather was warmer and nicer, since it doesn't rain as much as Seattle area. We enjoyed nice weather and took a lot of photos with bright blue sky. The colors of desert and sky created a strong contrast in the photo.

Alright, enough talking, check photos below and enjoy them. Be sure to leave me some comments :) one more thing, all photo copyright reserved.

Boy and Horse

Roach's animal logic goes to extremes

When I was in school, one day I asked my friend, what key words will you use if you want to search for human having sex with animals porns?
"uhm... girl and horse?" he wasn't sure.
"hmm..." doesn't sound correct but probably works.

Now I've grown up and learned two things:
1. the key word is "bestiality"
2. "boy and horse" works as well

Why is it significant?

The editing process always got stuck bcoz of a simple question: why is it significant?

We collect footage in order to make a sequence that has some meaning in it, and send out a message. But often time, I got confused by "what message do I want to send out and how?" Unfortunately the editing process has to go on no matter I have figured an answer or not.
So I have to do rough cut 1, then rough cut 2, then rough cut 3, 4, 5 and so on. Suddenly, it's due. I have no choice but to hand out my rough cut 19.

And I still haven't figured out why.
