Okay, underwear models weren’t really the main focus. But it was mentioned about five or six times.
Last week, while at Macy’s Passport, I was about [...]

On Friday, I filmed a TV segment with CBS Bay Sunday and I was all sorts of vomit-inducing nervous.
My head is quite shiny
I hate seeing myself on camera and I am sure a lot of other people do too. But I thought this would be a great opportunity to not only get my name out [...]

Even though my eyes are heavy and I have a TV spot to film early in the morning (more on that later), I insist on blogging. That is my dedication. That is what separates me from sane people. Its what makes me an obsessive moron.
I just got back from Macy’s Passport and I was quite [...]

When I did my interview with Margaret Cho for Hyphen Magazine (yes, this is a shameless name drop) I asked her about the state of Asian Americans in entertainment and she answered…
There’s a great crop of (Asian American) talent. There are a couple of more Asian faces here and there – that is great. The [...]

It’s been nearly three weeks and I haven’t written one word on any of my blogs – but I have a good excuse. I was in Europe getting inspired and sharing a sleeper car on Eurail with people who do not know how to use personal hygiene products.
For two and a half weeks, [...]

Webinar. Vaycay. Momversation. These are all slang terms that should be eliminated from the English language (click here for more terms). Bromance, along with the phrase, “bromantic comedy” was about to be added to my own [...]

Do I even need to explain why this is my current obsession? I just saw a screening of it last night and it devoured me. Meaning, I was enthralled and haven’t been that involved in a comic book-to-film adaptation since The Dark Knight – actually I felt more involved and seduced by these characters.

As of late, I have been focusing all my energy on my Examiner.com blog and therefore I haven’t been posting to this one a lot and I apologize to you, my reader. But mostly, I apologize to my blog. I haven’t been feeding it, and like a pet, it is starving. It needs my love. [...]

Okay, this isn’t really an “I told you so” moment, it’s more of a “I interviewed a famous guy before he was nominated for his first Oscar” moment. Yes, I am talking about Michael Shannon from Revolutionary Road.
When the noms were announced this week I was NOT surprised that Shannon got the nod for his [...]
