Part I
If I was a real bloggy person,
I would write a witty, coherent (albeit wandering)
essay with correct grammar,
including proper usage of the subjunctive mood.
I am not that.

I've just finished watching this:
This is a piece near the end
of a nicely made documentary that originally aired
on BBC Four. It's a 5 episode series, and on the YouTube,
each episode is divided into 6 ten minute segments (roughly).
It's less biased than most videos
I've seen about Tibet, and
it's a good introduction for someone
who knows a little about the current situation.
I encourage you to watch the entire series chronologically---
if you're into that sort of thing. I think it's worth the effort.
===
As one who was always previously
spiritually bent and entirely against government,
it was eye opening for me, after having had
a small taste of the Tibetan Buddhism in practice.

So I was watching these monks
doing inventory because they forgot what they had,
dragging out sacred texts from their libraries ...
"dusted off" once every ten years- - -
(or were they hiding them?)
...and it reminded me a lot
of this fantasy movie I saw recently :
CITY OF EMBER
