Sigur Rós – Hoppípolla

I was in year 12.
HSC was all we could think about
My parents were separated 
I fell in love with a boy, he left me for his ex at a party
Someone at Hillsong Church told me I couldn’t exist if I continued with my choice of being gay

I heard this song and nothing else mattered, nothing else existed for these few minutes and I became one with this tiny universe in my mind.

one song: Can I Go Now, Jesu. Given to me the other day by one of the four people listed below, with a lyric that has special meaning in this last bit of time before he leaves bluetooth range.

two movies: Interstellar and the as-yet-unmade first feature by Yulin. Because you can love something before it exists, the same as you can love someone after they’re gone.

three TV shows: Parks & Rec, which we’ve been bingeing our way through at a steady pace; Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which we only just started but which qualified the moment the trailer-park neighbor started singing; and the Mary Tyler Moore Show, because watching it comforted me at a time in my life when I needed that.

four people: Linda, Julia, William, and Eleanor.

five foods: corned beef hash with poached eggs from the Worker Bee Cafe; roast beef sandwich on wheat with provolone, mayo, and lettuce from Danny’s Deli; blue apple smoothie from Blenders in the Grass; iced mocha latte, easy on the mocha, from Lucky Llama; and Linda’s Italian chicken and pasta with white sauce.

six people to tag: Please disregard if you’re for any reason uninterested. But I wonder about: mountainchickens, seanpersaud, windandwater, apilgrimavoyager, sylvia-morris, and sophisticatedajumma.

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

I just found out I’m one of 30 finalists to direct an official Twilight Saga short film for Lionsgate this year! It’s a competition geared towards supporting female filmmakers and it’s a really rad opportunity. 

A lot of you already know how much I love making short films and YA adaptations so if you’ve enjoyed my work in the past, I’d super appreciate it if you’d consider taking the time to VOTE for my directing pitch!

We’ve Met Before is a couple’s origin story for Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale, set at a diner in 1948. 

VOTE for my pitch here
See my directing portfolio here

Much love,

Yulin Kuang
writer | director | fangirl filmmaker

Voting ends TOMORROW, Sunday 3/22! If you haven’t voted yet, please consider doing so today, I would really so appreciate it. :)

Amount of previous interest I’ve had in Twilight: Pretty much none.

Amount of desire I have to see anything creative Yulin might do with a pile of someone else’s money: All of it. All the desire.

So I voted (a while ago). If you’re a fan of Yulin and have not yet voted, now would be a good time. Thank you!

Making a pass

The fleet has been left behind by the winds of former Typhoon Pam, and now they’re in lighter, southeasterly/southerly winds, doing their best to position themselves for the next low-pressure system due to track east across the Southern Ocean next week.

Something interesting happened today that I don’t remember seeing at any previous point in the race: SCA passed a top competitor (actually, two top competitors). And they did it not only with good tactics, but with boatspeed.

The gif above summarizes about 18 hours of racing. At the beginning SCA is behind Dongfeng and MAPFRE. At the end of it they’re ahead of them. And especially on that last starboard tack, it really looks like they’re pulling away not because they’re in better wind, but just because they’re sailing faster. At the end they’re more than 10 miles ahead of Dongfeng, having pulled out of AIS range.

That’s huge. MAPFRE was the winner of the most-recent leg, and Dongfeng of the leg before that. SCA has been closing the gap on the more-experienced crews, figuring out how to push harder and get that last drop of speed. And this is just one moment, with a lot of racecourse to go; I’m sure there will be setbacks. But for now they must be so excited.

It brings to mind something I saw one of their coaches (I think?) say in a dockside interview in Auckland: This is the leg they trained for. Not that the warm tradewinds of the Canary Islands are anything like the Southern Ocean. But in terms of sailing swiftly, safely, and efficiently in rough conditions, this was their focus for more than a year. Heading off to round Cape Horn with a crew made up largely of people with only limited offshore experience, I think it was the right focus. But it left them with a deficit compared to the more-experienced teams at things like light-air boatspeed and maintaining their intensity over weeks of uninterrupted racing.

They’ve been doing better on each leg, getting closer and closer to the back of the fleet. Now they’re legitimately in it.

Go SCA! :-)

Then Freya stirred and spoke with a clear voice, indeed with a voice clearer and more powerful than Samuela had ever heard her use, and it rose above the throb and turmoil of Mount Doom, ringing in the roof and walls.

‘I have come,’ she said. ‘But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!‘ And suddenly, as she set it on her finger, she vanished from Samuela’s sight.
