Have you finally seen the Namesake? I saw it, I thought it was great.

Amy Tan's an Asian man-hating cultural fraud.

Be like Bryant Gumbel writing about life in da hood while dissing on all the sistas.

on 03/08/06 at 10:03 PM

I nabbed that page from Homestar Runner.

It has super funny flash cartoons and Strong Bad emails.

on 10/12/05 at 12:49 AM

your website hurt my feelings

on 10/09/05 at 08:26 PM

I wrote a second installment to Korean Mother Advice, but my mom found it and it hurt her feelings so I decided not to publish it : /

So you're a copy editor, huh? I can tell (that's a compliment). If you like Murakami, you should check this out, by far the best short story I've ever read:

http://www.blueblanket.net/Steph/Make/Visual/Perfect/

on 10/07/05 at 12:09 PM

I can put that on my reading to-do list along with Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen and Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood.

on 10/07/05 at 01:30 AM

I'm sure you've read Interpreter of Maladies - what'd you think ?

on 10/07/05 at 12:22 AM

It's a toss-up between The Kitchen God's Wife and The Opposite of Fate. It'll probably end up being The Opposite of Fate once I finish reading it :p

on 10/06/05 at 01:02 AM

What's your favorite Amy Tan book?

on 09/28/05 at 03:08 PM

I was actually supposed to study abroad in China, but then the whole SARS thing happened. I bet authentic Chinese food is awesome.

on 09/26/05 at 07:38 PM

There's a lot of food in China, you should write here.
