brain implosion

I didnt know this, but the average Taiwanese "worker" is passive, slow, and not terribly ambitious. say what you will about american arrogance, at least things get done, or people get sued. i sound like a self-loathing asian, but i'm really not. i dont think americans know how to get things done at all, but compared to taiwanese folk...Man. Maybe it's an LA thing, i'm not sure. maybe i've lived in too many cities in my life, and i'm used to dealing with faster pacing.

anyway. it's very very frustrating to be a director here in taipei. i feel as if i am from a different planet, often. i really dont know how i'm going to speak with actors when the time comes.

god dam, i'm really worried about casting actors. goddamn it.
