I thought I slammed the phone set. To follow the sequence of events or subjects of the conversation and examine how they shifted into another and progressed, I recognized I did not, he did; he hung up on me.
I got a call from my friend of ten years or so, who has been alcoholic and [...]

I was in Housing Works last night for a panel discussion held by Columbia Univ’s lit mag. I recognized some authors in the crowd such as Tao Lin, who was in a black hoodie that said Choke Victim on the back. I did not recognize him at all except that he was one of a few racial minorities among all [...]

I finally caught up with the sequel of Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay just a night ago. I was really compelled to go see it in a theater when it was released but I did not have time for it, I suppose.
So I went over and scrutinized it in the ‘Unrated’ version in DVD. I [...]

I finally got a long meditated but unaccomplished mission out of my way so I feel very complete. The mission was to finish Courtney Eldridge’s collection Unkempt, including “The Former World Record Holder Settles Down,” which was marked as one of a few literally works that were inspired by Annabelle Chong’s world record of having intercourse with 211 men [...]

I also wanted to talk to you about how their Vietnamese backgrounds shape these different women and about their relationships with men. Also about how these women are very conscious of how they look to others. Particularly how Mary, in The Gentle Order of Boys and Girls, for example, negotiates the world differently from Leena, [...]

Another thing that I could point out in the movie The World of Suzie Wong was the cast: the actor of Suzie Wong role Nancy Kwan was a Eurasian—the mix of Chinese and English—who was on the side of VERY EURO looks but was put so much emphasis on being Asian. This might be the very early case [...]

I had been prepared enough, so I was not offended, unlike other Asian American who are relatively political conscious but not enough to use the material to theorize a bit deeper.
One thing that instantly occurred to me was how this movie resembled The Quiet American. Once you recognized it, you can’t really tear yourself off from the [...]

I have been on the research of ‘trafficker words’ on the net for a while. The biggest one that I acknowledged was INCEST, as you see, so far. It is such a relief to see ‘Asian Face’ as a competitor to the big word INCEST. So what is next?

The movie Personal Velocity was based on a collection of short sorties of the same title. I remember that I read the book without knowing why it was so hyped up. Later, though, I found out that the author Rebecca Miller was Ms. Miller, the daughter of Arthur Miller, and not only that, be prepared, her husband [...]

I am opinionated that every parent had better have the kid circumcised so this article seems to summarize what I have been thinking of so long not only about how to build one’s cock but also about the Muslims and The Jews, their antagonising toward each other, and their fraternity prior to it. If only I got [...]
