October continues…
Can’t believe it’s October. Time flies… Google doodle: celebrating Art Clokey‘s 90th birthday with a little Gumby (and his pals, Pokey, Prickle, and Goo, plus those Blockheads… – plus, Gumby and Pokey now have an online home). Oh, and a little YouTube search pulled up the Gumby theme song (remastered!): Last but not least: from [...]

June Already?
Last Friday: saw Kung Fu Panda 2. Great movie – entertaining; great art. I thought it was missing a scene (plot-wise), but otherwise fun. However, I do wonder if 3D is going to be everything… Emil Guillermo posts on the AALDEF blog about the retirement of Shaquille O’Neal (recalling the anti-Asian problems of Shaq) and [...]

More APA Items and What’s with the Law?
Follow up on the Goodwin Liu nomination (see previous post here) and it’s unfortunate news: as Dahlia Lithwick over at Slate reports, Goodwin Liu has withdrawn his nomination for the 9th Circuit.

Ken Jeong on Conan O’Brien
Hmmm. So, Ken Jeong is promoting “The Hangover II” over on Conan O’Brien’s show, and he does the mind-boggling Dr. Jeong vs. In-Character Weirdo thing. Oh dear. I guess it’s good that he has his other job as his fall back…

It’s that time again: previews for the 2011-2011 tv season. Check out James Poniewozik’s post at Time.com about NBC previews, which, after checking them on-line at nbc.com, strangely intrigue me. But, that’s the trouble of previews – they’re just previews. Poniewozik’s analysis of NBC’s previews also hits on some of my concerns (besides the whole [...]

Is it Spring Yet?
Supposedly, it’s spring. Thanks to the annual NCAA Men’s Basketball March Madness, my brackets are completely a mess. Pittsburgh’s out, as are much of the Big East. Me and my Big East sentiments. And, I didn’t pick Princeton, but I did kind of rooted for them (had to support the Ivy League); then again, who [...]

Mother Nature
The devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Scary news, regarding the effects of these natural events toward Japan’s nuclear power plants. NY Times’ Nicholas Kristof observes his sympathy and admiration of Japan, under these circumstances.

Marching On in March 2011
Yeah, it’s still March. But, not yet the NCAA brackets time. We’re getting there… Hat tip from Roger Ebert’s Facebook fan page (yeah, I checked off that I’m a fan – his blog is great writing): the happiest man in America is Alvin Wong, a Chinese American Jew from Hawaii. Why am I not [...]
