Once I spotted in the Urban Kvetch —a front corner in HEEB mag— this small criticism on Diablo Cody, I am having a hard time getting my mind off from her, for I can understand where the article was coming from. I actually cracked up on it, though I am in entirely favor of Cody. So I [...]

I cracked up when I happened to land on the article above. Or am I the only one who read it as if some sort of ‘poison control direction’ as opposed to any guide to what is supposed to be fun?
The first thing that occurred to me was that would just scare kids away from dating [...]

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 was reading the second book of Molly Jong-Fast, the daughter of Erica Jong. This book, originally titled The Sex Doctors in the Basement, and retitled to Girl, Maladjusted in its paperback rendition, was actually hilarious. I flipped through her first novel that was written before she went to MFA in Bennington, and thought it was [...]

So far, I have encountered different kinds of people. One of them are those who, I’d phrase, are obsessed with Phillip Roth. It might be a generational interest, or Jewish one. In either case, it is enough to know Roth is the type of the author who makes the readers feel like literally worshipping him. I met [...]

Just a small column that I was unfazed by but I note it here anyway, for it occupied my mind just before I had fallen asleep and even after I woke up this mornig: an interview of a female editor from the Onion—the famous joke paper targeted for college and/or after college kids—who became pretty known for this dispute [...]

I sure am talking about the movie Female Trouble by John Waters (1974). This movie strangely appealed to me for the wise subject matter—womanhood that is prone to be criminalized—and its handle. The approach is anyhow feminist one. The life of heterosexual is not worth living, indeed, I can’t agree more. I have lived to claim it really [...]

It is not everything to be involved in that manner —as today’s title goes—, my current boyfriend persuades.
This is another make up after the third official attempt to break off. I just needed to be alone to work and focus, and hey, the word that I hate the most is boyfriend. It does not cause [...]

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?
