It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.

Real radio

In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many public radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.

The festivals

I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already exchanged my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.

The famous people

When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus moment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.

     Nathan Myhrvold in the video talked about what he did after he left Microsoft in 1999. He talked about
what he did in archeology, nuclear technology, photography, and even cooking! I don't know about you, but
I know 1   is from the video that I get a lot of inspiration. It teaches me lessons   2   how to live an exciting
life. You can feel Myhrvold's passion and   3   (enthusiastic) during the talk. He is a clear example of curiosity.
I thought I already had wide interests,   4   after watching this video I realize just how narrow my world is.
     I learn a lot from the depth of his interests.   5   I'm interested in something, usually I only have enough
interest to go through   6   skin. I don't have enough interest to go deep into that subject. But Myhrvold not
only has wide interests,   7   has deep interests. It's deep enough to make him an expert in a field. This is an
important lesson for me. I need to widen my interests, but even   8   (important), I need to deepen them. That's
a key to  9   (live) an exciting life.
     I just imagined that if Leonardo da Vinci lived in the 21st century, he   10   (be) like Nathan Myhrvold.
