A short review of Deadwood .TV series:
One of our hobbies for the evening time is watching T.V series and movies, meanwhile eating our dinner.
One of the series which I am addicted and draw my attention to follow the storyline is ‘Dead Wood’.
Deadwood is town in South Dakota ,which is part of uncivilized society on that period of time in old America back in 1800’s. Covered by corruption and violence every now and then.
There are a couple of characters whose personalities are kind of bizarre in the movie. One of the main character is “Seth Bullok” who I call him “swollen -stick man”. He is kind of arrogant and far from the community. He moved with his Jewish friend to the town and tired to find a legal business there and got a second position as a sheriff there. He is nice and trust-worthy, but he involved with affair with a rich widow calls “Alma Gareth” and in meantime tried hard to bring peace to the camp ,but his snobbish ,cold manner make the audiences feel hatred towards him ,sometimes!
I don’t admire her either ,as she is too rich to be there ,I mean part of the community .She never find a friend or even try to have one, more over she accept a Norwegian child under her authority and adapt her.
Her husband killed there and instead of being positive or doing something she tries to keep the gold from her husband side and has affair and he is addicted to drugs as well. She has to make a forceful marriage as she is pregnant secretly from sheriff and she wants to keep all her will for herself rather transfer to her ex husband family, in meanwhile she got sick and got rid of her illegitimate fetus and then treat her second husband badly , unfairly and draw back to the drugs again after a break.
We have Jane a cow boy drunk girl who tries to act so shrewdly and be as man in that society ,nice helping others but always drunk, on the other hand we have a young whore who find the Jew man( sheriff’s friend) attractive and try to spy on them in favor of her old fucker and boss in whore house and get a job there and her previous activities involve with being baby sitter for the rich widow as well…
We have a lot small other characters who act pretty nice and in their position have a great ,valuable role in the movie though.
In brief it is an epic story of greed and power, war and romance, forbidden loves and secret alliances, and a young hero who rises to power in a modern-day kingdom.

Tuesday 22 September,
Tuesday 22 September,
The second day of break time; and I was wondering today that it has been quite long time that I haven’t done any painting.
Sometime when I check Face Book, I see some friends doing art and I am thinking back in time to 15 or even more than that ,20 years ago when, I was doing art so seriously ,even I chose my major in art field .
I have had so many exhibitions in and out of Iran .Actually; I was blossoming so fast forward for my age.
Even back to that time I remembered that I was thinking about how lucrative could be my art, in matter of selling and looking into the market.
I was just 22when I finished the study, and I was working for almost 2 years professionally as watercolorist painter, organizing exhibitions in galleries and had customers, who were bugging me with calls and hooked on me with shitty questions.I always wanted particularly special artist.
I had just had a chance to enter to fashion field starting doing programmes on T.V as independent designer cause I had had 6 months training in meanwhile studying at university and I was too young for all these.
So what happened then?
Can we call it, all talent and desired died, suddenly?
Sounds a bit unsecured and hectic, it is.
Well, sometimes the ideas towards art, comes back to me.
Back in time, I wanted to grab and snap the chances. Traveling around Asia or East Asia, chances to get another job as over seas teacher seeking for a better and different life, finding my soul mate, partner, somewhere else in this world.
Maybe I was so too early for everything in life, a prodigy lost in life.
It has been 2 years that I am back to playing music ,and from last year I just watched a movie showed a talented boy how he found his way to start his art and how he blossomed at the end, was a warning and sparkle in my life again.
As the time bring chances in life ,I have had a chance to choose in a certain time in my life ,to digest the risk ,get out of country stand on my feet and use my valor to be a teacher and now stand as a professor at university teaching English and working on my languages skills, and on my free time to draw sketches for fashion and paint, or be there, stick to art there which was great back to those period there and seeking for other chances might have happened or not totally blind and veiled situation in front.!?
Sometimes you receive a total condemnation from society which has happened to me back the time in Iran and even in China couldn’t catch chances back professionally to my art, but I do it as hobby though.
Long introduction today I am in middle of creating something new again. Painting is something that brings me back memories from summer vacation in Holland.
In meanwhile I was drown in my artistic mood about clothes and new design, just a idea came in my mind which when I READ THE FOLLOWING ADRESSS
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/
An article from The Guardian gave me a surprised stun. Such a coincidence.
Girls just want to have fun. That was the message from the British designer Luella Bartley at London Fashion Week yesterday, where she unveiled a collection of sweet, colorful dresses and separates with a pop twist.
I was thinking to buy and even maybe design some new, colorful clothes and now the fashion update goes girly style this year apparently. GOOD news for charming girls.
Thinking about art ,having artistic mind helps your life to be more colorful and creative and always you have something to do ,to think new……

First day of break ,Monday, September 20:
First day of break ,Monday, September 20:
The first day of our break from work goes not very well at least for me.
Sometimes things goes on the way totally illogical and unexpected.
As they called me from the deputy municipal of headquarter at university to say: ‘The classes might be shut down for a while and no one knows for how long due to sever fast spread of Swine flu”. It was a good news and bad at the same time.
Swine flu is spreading everywhere in campus, no surprised as the quality of classes and dorms are pretty low and in our teaching building is so filthy and damp no wonder the students get sick. No proper hygiene either. It is not too ghastly at least for now.
I am happy at least we seem to be fine till now.
I have received 4 phone calls and bombarded with emails to help those desperate to give the students lesson plans and home works. Mostly things are like that and possibly I might have make up classes later on.
I have spent almost 3 hours proper nice lesson plan for all levels, but they couldn’t get it so they come up with misunderstanding and something different and finally I discovered they wanted something to be published on the Net and then they couldn’t get it and what they exactly want and asked me make it easy in the way of putting numbers and steps for students.
Usually Chinese come like that, no offence to the Chinese who read this. I am not trying to rebuking them. But unclear mumble things, for instance: use words maybe and possibly ,and could you give some suggestions by bumbling words. All those crap words, and if you are bold to neglect them ,good for you, well done, otherwise, it goes on and on until you strangle yourself .Or maybe I am too scrupulous and diligent!
.
I have had so many people doing business here around me and as they claimed too, it is such a night mare understand what they want, cause they don’t know themselves exactly, like a vulnerable victim come close and….
It is not like Europe to have expectation of being professional and precise and meticulous. Things works in different way and you need to know it here.
Well god, that’s the beginning. Some people here have no apathy I wish I could be like that.!
I was kind of pissed of for couple of hours why it is the only one here me to do all work and others hang around.
Anyhow despite that today is a green day and a pleasant weather. I am going to enjoy the rest of the day.

One of rainy in september 6th, 2009
September 6”
First of all I apologize to readers following the stories and send me their prompt comments. I haven’t uploaded things for a while and all is due to bad internet connection to blog site through proxy system. One of the reasons tempting me to write and I do love to spend some of my free time for that is receiving some comments from readers and thanks a lot.
Today is Saturday and another rainy weekend.
This season is going to be long in this pat of China luckily (I love rain and murky, gray sky)
Back on my childhood, when I was little I loved to have rainy days every day which we didn’t. I hated scorching, hot or balmy weather.
In Tehran (for all my Iranian friends out of the country, is a flash back) the city I used to live, we had plenty of snow in almost over 3 months or even more, back to the time we were kid’s and even though Couple of years ago .My dream was that I wanted to live somewhere green and have everyday rain, for me snow was ok but not too fascinating, and now I do want more snow and less rain though.
Isn’t that amazing of what we have and what we don’t in life and not always appreciate it!
It has been almost 6 years I have been living in China and especially on the east coast; we do have so much rain I strongly can say approximately 6 months of the year.
These years’ car factories and other type of factories work hard to expand their products as more and more customers’ enquiries increase rapidly. So you can imagine how much it affects the weather, as I do believe it exist in so many developing and even developed countries. Some cities might suffer less though.
How ever, we have too much rain for half of year if it stops raining we do feel a bit amount of pollution. This city which I am located now is surrounded by mountains and I am hopping soon having snow fall.

My special Thursday night, second week of work:

The whole last week was kind of swinging between new term of work and our woozy time being at home and be free to what to do.
I was supposed to have an evening class called English corner. In fact I was happy and sad at the same time. As the matter of fact, I was supposed to have it with Wijb which art least we know each other and happy to work together rather than having with a boozy, scum person.
These kind of classes we might have quite large number of students or vice versa and the point is they want to see a foreigner face and practice their oral English and I love it too, but we don’t know how many and what level and where is going to happen!?
Anyhow by the end of the day we got the message that the class has been canceled. Thanks god for good sake. I was so tired after my last class 6.30 P.M and was not ready at all to have another 2 hours in the evening.
Well now what to do?!

When wijb gave me the good news by the time ,I came back home .afterward we went back to our usual amusement schedule again. I call it “mind boggling” thing as we do. .
Me and wijb are a great match to find a way to amuse our selves.
We are hooked and snatched on some T.V series as Blue hill street and ER and Dead Wood and South park which is basically a bitter comedy turn into a cartoon. I do love all. Comparatively all have their own specialty and strong different perspective of view.
We pass diner time ,quite smoothly ,relaxing meanwhile having fun learn good lessons from each of these movies based true stories, in the end make our own judgment and discuss about it .

Bird flu and classes:
Bird flu and classes:
Today Thursday , is the hardest day of the week for me, as I have classes which are split into morning ,afternoon and plus the last 2 hours English corner in the evening that I am sharing it with Wijb.
Despite that Things are going nice and smoothly. It has been already couple of days we
see polices standing in front gate of university and our campus building and check everybody’s temperature .I was wondering something is wrong. Today I heard that one student has got the bird flu!
Well, that is not very good news though. Although we know they have treatment for it and it is not a fetal sickness, but getting it is not good at all.
Well, from now on , we should live in panic and be more careful ,by washing our hands more often and sterilize things we get and use. It is easy to say and hard to handle , cause we are teachers and dealing with students and is unavoidable not to be so close to them.
I still remember my school time back home. Sometimes I still have night mares about it. It was part of my life and so many others which was tough , harsh and sometimes gloomy and grim. In fact few year of my school time was great and couple of years hard, as we had sever examination time ,had to study hard in Math major and get ready for entrance exam at university.
Anyhow ,nowadays we I go back and remember those time I am happy I have done theses things which has made me to be here and stand in this position in another country. If I was not studios and hardworking, not had enough stamina I was not here, I was not able to pass the bridges and stand up here and be proud of my self of knowing 2 other languages and even teach them, do my art even now a days not professionally and have found a good partner casue oftravelling and expanding experiences in my life.
My condition and memories:
Tuesday September 15,
My condition and memories:
Well today was my day off. I don’t feel very well. It has been almost week that we are having crappy weather and this is a flu season. I and Wijb both are woozy and lousy. I have tried to keep home warm and use more fruits and vegetables and take hot showers and do some exercise. Last night was one of those nights we slept just few hours and I can’t make a good nursing for Wijb.
Anyhow, I think his germs are inside me. I have to fight with this sickness and be strong as I hate catching cold, especially I have to work and the next 2 days I am having tough hours teaching.
Today was mild in the early morning and we decided to play tennis. Our tennis has improved grudgingly and we both enjoyed a lot.
I am missing some warm borsch, thick soups. We both know in china is impossible to order this kind of soup.
Chinese soups no offence resembles hot boiled watery stuff with some vegetables floating and swimming on it.
I still have the taste of nice corn, chicken and beef soup, which my mum used to make in cold winters, back home. Recently I missing home a lot and last night part of my sleeping time passed with weird dreams about my past life in Iran .It has been long time and unfortunately I couldn’t have been home. Few days ago, I confess to my mum how much I miss her and home made cakes and food and chats and I am so regretful, that I couldn’t go back home.
I voluntarily scarified it for Wijb because I though he missed me and the time am not safe, especially for him due to Iran condition after June election poll. Moreover we would miss being in such a nice an apartment which now we are, as moving time was in last week of August. We had good time back to Wijb’ home and it was part of our summer plan though.
Anyhow during 2009 so many things has changed in my life, I met Wijb, we started relation ship and we moved from a city to another, we have been offered nice, high respective job at university and we got engaged. I have made 6 trips in china and to Europe as well. In fact sort out our documents for marriage plus tension sand stress afterward starts learning Dutch and some other plans. Just bad timing to go back home which I need making it sometime soon and I hope so.
