Yes, upon visiting the dentist this morning, I was shocked and ashamed to learn that I have a few cavities. I’ve never had a cavity before in my life, so I’d been under the assumption that somehow I was immune . . . my teeth were just that good. Not so fast. I suppose not [...]

Crunch time
Yes, it’s that time again. Two weeks left in the quarter . . . which means I’ve gotta get busy. But there is a limit. Nine hours in the Evans computer lab working on our stats policy report with A.H.?? Thank goodness he’s an Excel & SPSS wizard, otherwise we would’ve [...]

My father, the playwright
My dad has been working for the past six months or so on a musical that he wrote himself as a fundraiser for the subdivision my parents live in. They live in a community of condos (in Johnson County, Kansas) that is mostly inhabited by elderly people. It’s not “officially” a retirement community, [...]

Spreading the Love
Today, (or rather yesterday, I suppose) I made lots of sarcastic remarks regarding V-Day. That’s right, Valentine’s Day. Ugh. I hate it. But I would still like to take this opportunity to send my love out into e-space to my wonderful friends who read this blog (and to those who don’t). [...]

Supposedly so. Before I forget the details of last Saturday night, let me share this amusing vignette.
So I played hooky from homework for the entirety of last weekend. It felt fabulous. Saturday night, T.B. and I managed to round up a pretty fun group of people to get drinks at [...]

Weirdness Pouring Out of Every Orifice
Disgusting, eh? No, I’ve just been tagged by both Ji-in and Lee. Read on for details.
So….Ji-in modified it slightly to Five Weird Things Other Asians Have Said to Me. I actually spent quite a bit of time ruminating on this today. In fact, I should be reading cases for tomorrow’s classes [...]

Angry Little Asian Girl
So I saw this movie on Friday night with A.H., my Korean language partner. We went to the Guild 45th to see Caché, starring Daniel Auteil and Juliette Binoche. I was excited, because I’d heard rave reviews. And I also wanted to see how much of those 5 years of French studies [...]
