The Kids Are All Right
The shocking scene was at the dinner table when a pair of 40-45 years old women were kissing each other in front of two kids, and those kids were totally fine with that. Shocking because i never know any film which had gay parents (gay, legally married, and have kids) in it, second because the title says nothing about it.
The story in a nutshell : Two kids, both born to lesbian parents with a sperm donor were courious of their biological father. They finally met him, and try to build relationship (unusual relationship, what would you call your sperm donor ? ‘Biological Dad’ ?). The coming of this father into the family make some kind of disharmony between kids and parents and between each of parents and so on and so forth, I wouldn’t be too much to the plot.
I enjoy this movie. It’s toying with our uncomfortable feeling like when you have build a strong relationship (with anyone, friends, father or brother) suddenly at one point it shattered by your mistake you don’t realize. And the characterizing of the father is sort of giving us so much hope that the kids will ‘reconcile’ with their biological father.
Anyway that’s not what I’m really interested in
Needless to say those people in west or america in particular have way more tolerance towards LGBT people than us Indonesian. And through this movie the gap is seemingly much wider, it’s like we are two order lower in terms of tolerance. We still in the stage where LGBT people should stay-inside-or-else-get-killed, while they have been in stage where LGBT people are treated indistinguishly from straight. The order that in between is: when LGBT people are began to be accepted, but clearly in distinguish way. They are like a new family on a neighbourhood or like a handicapped that we treat in special way. That we have to consider hundred times of the proper way of questioning : “How did you get crippled ?”. While in higher order of tolerance, they confusedly (yet rhetorically) ask: “So what if she’s a lesbian ?” No big deal.
And my judgment is, by the way, based solely on this movie, not necessarily on reality. Because if lesbianism is really ‘no big deal’ they wouldn’t think the story of ‘gay parenthood can be messed up too just like in straight family’ is interesting enough to be filmed.

The Kookooest Kookoo
It’s been two weeks since the latest post. It’s not that i was so busy that I cant find a mere 10 minutes to catch up this blog, as a matter of fact, I really have nothing to do except doing my thesis which typically took a couple hours before laziness got me to somewhere else (game, tv, anything).
Anyway, let me amuse you about religious koo. Is all religious people a koo? Majority, yes or if koo is not quite the right word, maybe ignorant is. But as far as I can tell, there's a tiny percentage of them who aren’t. In fact they made exceptional contributions in their respective field. Newton, Descartes, Maxwell you name it. But that was before the light of evolution and another ‘consciousness raisers’ (as Dawkins says) both in science or philosophy spread out. Today, most of respectable scientists are (openly or not) rejecting the idea of God.
And among those kookoos, you find a part who are incredibly, extremely, superbly, and exceptionally koo. No, I don’t say it’s FPI or any other fundamentalist horde. I’m talking about people who mixes up religion and things we see as un(or anti-)religion. Including of those who claim themselves as Christian Punk, who had apparently been around quite long ago. And I’ve been surprised to what I recently watched on the tv : the community of Moslem Punk. Holy crap on a monkey’s ass! It’s almost to me the community of Straight Lesbian, or the community of Jewish Neo-Nazi, or if you have a bit sense of humor, the community of Religious Scientists.
The program exposed a homeless-like dressed group who recite Koran verses, say prayers and that sort of things, and I noticed some of them had their hands tattooed. And then they sang a rather Iwan Fals-like song, which is no punk at all, asserting arabic words of how much they need the mercy of God and etc. What a mockery have they made ? That’s a blasphemy of the genuine Punk.
Punk is (supposed to be) free of any form of dogma, except the dogma of punk itself. Punk is (supposed to be) a critique of any form of authority. Punk is (supposed to) against the mainstream (in whatever ways). And this whole dumb Punk manifesto came up from a jerk who drank too much beers and took too much pills. And the dumbest thing anyone could do is mixing up dumb idea with yet another dumb idea.
Just in the late of the show I realized that they mislabeled a group of homeless for a ‘punk community’. What a koo..

Le Petit Nicolas
This is a french movie ( Im sure you already guessed) released in 2009, directed by mhhm well I don’t know, you find it over google. It tells me nothing anyway, since I don’t know much about french movies.
I scarcely watch other than hollywood movies. Its just they cant give the quality that hollywood does. But this one is an exception.
The theme, however, is not unordinary. Kids who misuderstand adult things . These kids were frightened to have a new little brother. They learn that when a family just have their new baby, the older child have to be thrown away from home. Just like they find about Joachim (who is actually out of school for illness). Nicolas then find out a sign of his parents behavior that they are going to have a new baby. By that time, he and his schoolfriend make a plot to have his soon-to-come little brother kidnapped. Then the adventures begin.
Telling you guys, this film is cool. They really know how to make film. I found many hilarious yet fresh and genuine scenes. Just made made couldn’t stop laughing. In short, this is worth to watch!
Anyway, its always interesting to me to see these kids during the film. Somehow remind me of my infant.

The Handbook of Shopping in Cimol
In case kamu gak tau dimana itu cimol, itu pasar yang isinya jualan baju2 bekas dari luar di Gede Bage, Bandung. Ada yang kualitas sudah buruk ada juga yang kualitasnya sudah sangat buruk. Maksudnya, kalo kamu tipenya kek 347, Ouval dll atau paling ngga FO, ini bukan tempatnya. Ini lebih ke orang2 yang tipenya sederhana atau suka yang belel-belel gitu.
Ok. Langsung ke poinnya.
1. Kalo bisa datang pas hari2 kerja. Kenapa ? Nawarnya bisa lebih enak. Ngga enaklah kamu nawar sadis tapi ada orang yang denger. Kan si tukang jualannya juga males atuh. Ntar jadi semuanya ikut nawar sadis2an. Lagian pas pembelian lagi sepi si tukangnya cenderung kaya “yah udahlah gpp yg penting laku”.
Btw, sebenarnya frase ‘nawar sadis’ juga kurang tepat. Yang bener adalah dia ngasih initial price-nya kaya orang kurang waras! Jadi bisa dibilang initial pricenya yang sadis.
2. Selanjutnya, cobalah untuk tertawa ketika si tukangnya ngasih harga awal seolah-olah itu adalah lelucon. Atau paling ngga “Huh ?” sambil senyum kecut ke si tukangnya. Impresi awal kek gini penting ! Karna menyangkut tingkat kejatuhan harga penawaran selanjutnya. Kalo kamu ngangguk2 aja trus nawar setengahnya aja udah susah.
3. Setelah dia ngasih harga awal dan kamu ngasih ‘impresi awal’ seperti di poin 2 tawarlah dengan harga 1/4 sampai setengahnya, tergantung dari harga awal dan kualitas barangnya. Jangan kaget dengan angka ¼ dan setengah. Biasa ini mah!
Kemungkinan besar harga jadinya lebih besar dari harga penawaran. Jadi, pastikan penawaran ada di bawah ekspektasi duit yang bakal kamu keluarin. Ingat, harga jadi ngga mungkin turun lagi dari penawaran !
4.Perhatikan dengan teliti barang yang kamu beli! Ingat ini barang2 bekas. Perhatikan tiap inci barangnya sapa tau ada kotoran atau ee kucing nempel. Kalo bisa hindari toko2 yang berada di tempat kegelapan dimana susahh untuk memeriksa ke-masih layak pakai-an barang tersebut, kecuali kamu bawa senter buat meriksa.
Soalnya gw pernah punya pengalaman. Pas sudah nyampe rumah. Anjis ! apa2an ini ada kuning2 di lengannya kek kotoran kuping. Mana itu ngga bisa hilang walau udah dicuci tangan pula!
Demikian beberapa tipsnya. Ntar lah dibikin jilid 2 nya pas experience nya sudah cukup buat naik level. Haha! udah kek maen RPG

Kalo emang orang gila tidak sadar dirinya gila, bagaimana saya yakin saya tidak gila ?
Ngga tau. Cuman asumsi kasar saja.
