oh, bother…
Tuesday, December 31st, 2002
You know what really REALLY bothers me?
When someone sees some sort of Asian lettering, and asks “Can you read those?” Or, when they see it and ask which letter corresponds to the letter A, B, C…
Oh, I also love those guessing games. “Are you Chinese? No, okay…you’re Japanese! No? Wait wait…Filipino? No? Korean?” And […]
nice t-shirt
Thursday, December 26th, 2002
I’m am soooo gonna buy this. There’s a lot of other great shirts at blacklava.com. All with an Asian flair to it, of course. Abercrombie and Fitch ain’t getting a dime from me. I never did like there clothes anyways, and that LFO song makes me hate them even more. Speaking of clothes, a $100 […]

miniature earth
Monday, December 23rd, 2002
I came across The Miniature Earth (flash)(text version) again on metafilter. Everytime I look at it, it gives me a whole new perspective on life.

jet li
Monday, December 23rd, 2002
I finished reading James Robert Parish’s book Jet Li: A Biography the other day.

I could have done without the paragraphs upon paragraphs of quotes from a variety of […]
Ms. Swan - that’s racist…
Monday, December 23rd, 2002
Katherine from Charlie Chan’s Revenge finds MADtv’s character Ms. Swan to be offensive. Ms. Swan is supposedly from a fictional country, but her accent is no doubt the stereotypical “engrish.” I think it’s a fairly funny character, and I’ve seen Hispanics speak with similar accents.
I went to MADtv’s website to see if I could […]

Another article regarding that whole fortune cookie debacle…
Recently the Houston Rockets visited Miami to play the heat. Since it was the first time Yao Ming was in town and since Miami needs to seize opportunities to run promotions to get fannies in seats, the Heat decided to give out fortune cookies to the first eight […]
fortune cookies?
Saturday, December 21st, 2002
To commemorate the first appearance of Yao Ming in South Florida, those zany marketing types with the Miami Heat decided to give away fortune cookies with prize coupons inside.
Yao wasn’t too impressed.
“First of all, there’s no such thing as a fortune cookie in China,” he told reporters through his interpreter.
And then he scoffed at the […]
