monsoon wedding
January 30, 2005
Last week I watched Monsoon Wedding, a movie I heard about when I was living in China, but never had the opportunity to see. I’ve lived through American, Puerto Rican, and Chinese weddings, and I’ve seen them all as daunting traditions that involve an insane amount of work.
I have to say I think the […]

Vernon God Little
January 30, 2005
Vernon God Little was much fun for me as a title because the strength of the title does not become apparent until the last two chapters of the book. I’m not much of a person to get hung up on titles, but it was a bit of a question rattling around in my head […]

quest
January 24, 2005
Tuesday will be the halfway mark for Quest for Happiness. So far so good. I look back over the last 11 I’ve done and I can see where I’ve been lazy. There are moments… panels that I think work really well, that have great attitude.
The script isn’t stellar, but it works.
The whole […]

tokyo godfathers
January 21, 2005
I finally got a chance to check out Tokyo Godfathers, a film from Satoshi Kon. I love this kind of movie because it’s layered in a haphazard way that unravels throughout the film. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the movie gives you just a little more.
The film is based on […]

what an embargo means
January 21, 2005
The UK Foreign Secretary, Mr Straw, is visiting China. He has plans to end the arms embargo on China. This would be in the face of opposition from the US, Japan, and I’m going to guess Taiwan as well.
The embargo was placed to prevent China from buying arms from the […]

another day in the snow…
January 20, 2005
It’s times like this that I’m glad I don’t live somewhere else where the weather is even harsher. I woke up, did a little bit of exercise, ate some breakfast, and got out to shovel the driveway. The cars were gone and had packed the snow, so bits of it were a chore, […]
