Triscribe

Because this is triscribe and we are New Yorkers: The passing of Mayor Ed Koch. See here for the NY Times obituary. The news was a sad one to hear on 1010 WINS first thing in the morning, and the realization that the quintessential New Yorker – even if you disagreed with him – is [...]

No, I’ve never seen the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” – somehow, the idea of NYC wrecked in a new Ice Age (and this movie probably came out some time after the bad snowstorm of 2003) didn’t appeal to me and I wasn’t in the mood for the emoting of Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal. [...]

Because the summer hit won’t completely go away, and because the conductor of this orchestral/choral version of “Call Me Maybe,” is an APA, of course I’ll share this (saw this on Facebook via a friend). As the linked article by Edwin P. Sallan notes, What should make this version of particular interest to us is [...]

As we did last year. Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow. -”Try to Remember,” from The Fantasticks. (cross-posted over at sswslitinmotion.tumblr.com)

Take a moment to think about those who served and are currently serving. Some APA Heritage Month items, as the month winds down:   Recently, coverage on two APA lawyers: Yul Kwon, on “Tell Me More” with Michele Martin,about being an APA Game Changer, i.e., that he was the first APA to win “Survivor” – [...]

… and Probably Should Get the t-shirt to express the survival. Thankfully not so bad; we fared okay. New Yorkers insist on grumbling, of course. Look, I’m not going to second-guess the order to evacuate the coastal areas of the city or whether MTA didn’t need to shut down service. Hurricane Irene could have been [...]

At least the hype (hopefully hype) is exciting. I even got kicked out of the office early, but I work in Zone A, which got ordered a mandatory evacuation and the building’s landlord was turning off the electricity at 5pm. The following embedded video was from a friend of mine, MW. I share it as [...]

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 [...]

Over at wnyc radio: on why NYS has no South Asian elected officials – maybe it is a matter of time. Listen also below, the embed of the audio: NY1.com has its APA Heritage coverage – for a week… – still, interesting things: A profile of Corky Lee, the photographer of the NYC APA community. [...]
