I’ve been waiting for this one for oh, the past 20 years. On SCC 20 years ago, some Jewish twit made a comparison of the Chinese treatment toward Tibetans something like a concentration camp etc, and said that all Chinese students should be expelled. In a brilliant piece of sarcasm (if I humbly say so [...]

Will put more detail in this entry tonight, but the Philly trip went well. Learned the difference between Manet and Monet. Awesome Cheese Steaks at Jim’s Steaks on South Street and 4th: More photos: Philly, International Food Fest Saw Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love at BAM — a masterpiece. Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit [...]

Film Review: 2046 (The Guardian) The long-awaited (5 years, 3 different locales, random plot and actor-switching) Wong Kar Wai movie 2046 finally opened on Thursday to acclaim. It had to postpone its press showing Wednesday because Wong was flying with the last 20% of the film with him, and he missed his connection to France [...]

So it’s kind of big news around here. The after shocks of the recent Presidential elections is still being felt. Today was the inauguration of President-elect Chen Shui-bian even though the recount is on-going. He won by 30,000 or so votes and 40,000 votes are in dispute.

I found this little experiment of social interaction to be really funny. I know that I wouldn’t like it very much. Women not talking, now that indeed would be a strange one. This year’s weather has been awfully strange. Since being here, there’s been at least 3 “earthquakes”. One I felt but the other two, [...]

Saw the movie “Van Helsing” yesterday. I know that the reviews in the media have been mixed about it, but I thought it was all right. Don’t go see it expecting an Oscar award type of movie – it’s most certainly not. But, it’s a good popcorn movie (and I was certainly munching a bunch [...]

Music: GiTS:SAC Theme (MP3) Rachael Yamagata (Artist Direct.com). APA Half Hour: between 12:30 and 1 am, Conan O’Brian had Pun Yin, Donald Trump’s feng shui expert, and ballard singer Rachael Yamagata. Afterwards, cartoon King of the Hill featured Connie, Bobby’s Laoian girlfriend in “Aisle 8A“. Saw a preview of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone [...]

Wednesday’s “Angel” – crazy stuff indeed. I swear, Angel’s whole free will thing is amazingly impressive. That’s always been his theme, and he’ll stick to it, thank you very much. “Frasier” – umm… okay. It was all right. I’m not a big “Frasier” fan, and haven’t watched it at all this season (any storylines I [...]
