Just when I thought I could not love him more, between the tales told by Charlie Murphy and Kevin Smith, came Questlove's epic tale. I have been spreading the gospel since summer. They can play "True American: Jehovah's Back" edition.

In a moment of childhood madness, after years of BEGGING for the Samantha doll, one Hanukkah/Xmas my dad told me he would get me an American Girl doll, and when he asked which one, I blurted out "Kirsten." KIRSTEN. What the fuck was I thinking?! My half-Chinese Jewish self asked for a blond Swedish doll.

Agreed. I don't know if the character is being written as willfully obtuse or if the delivery is so flat it appears that way. An actress with more dimension might be able to convey more of an internal conflict, that she recognizes nothing will likely be the same and that she was part of a police state but she just…

If you can get past the terrible acting of the female lead. I've decided she is actually and android but does not know it, which explains her wooden and glassy-eyed demeanor.

The book I always give and recommend is Blindness by Jose Saramago. If for some crazy reason that's not an option i go with Geek Love by Katherine Dunn.

A Olyphant sighting should never lead to dissapointment. I watch anything he's in when it's on tv; which means, thanks to FX, I've watched Hitman more times than anyone should.
Everything needs more Olyphant. And John Noble. Always. All the time. Tom Hiddleston can come too.

I gave up about midway through last year, it was just too much. I only have so much suspended disbelief to go round.

I'd be happy with a 30 minute short of him and his older lookalike Timothy Olyphant shirtless wrestling.

Here you go. Doesn't get more reputable than the Daily Mail!

You wouldn't have Dachshunds by any chance? Two of my three dog babies are Doxie sisters and they LOVED to eat poo. I found out after I got them home that Doxies are notorious poo eaters. I blame their German heritage.

I think it's totally what being, healthy, and ingle in your 30's is like. At 32 I realized I was so content in my life without a SO, loved my friends, dogs, house, etc, despite my increasing post-graduate school underemployment. Just stay in that feeling and don't get derailed. I pulled the classic female life crusher…

Yes, that is what I said. You are right.

From my understanding of the term "first gen" it refers to the children of those who immigrated into the country. And my whole family calls that generation "first" and the rest of us "second." So yeah, huh. Perhaps defining generations in Asian culture is as diverse as dialects?

After reading through some of your other comments I can see you are very upset about race, in particular how it impacts caucasians. Sorry that the minorities out here in the world keep speaking out and having opinions, starting dialogues. So to cheer you up, I decided to include a poem that might remind you of "better…

First gen refers to both the people who relocated and to the children they have in that country, so first generation American.

She is hilarious and amazingly feisty!

I LOVE THIS! Already sent to the mom.

I completely agree! I have always thought that the stereotype could be based in traditional Asian culture (hell, most cultures) where in public women were subservient to their husbands, male family members, etc; whereas in private the women ran the household. At least that is how my Asian grandparents were, for the…

Despite me explaining, repeatedly, that my mother was a first generation American born and raised in NYC, my ex would repeatedly ask if she "sounded Chinese." He would follow the question with his imitation of a Chinese accent and then lol at his comedic genius. When I finally told my mother (you tend not to want to…

You have no idea. I would tell you about the time a conversation about his, equally insane and irrational, hatred of foods containing any type of fish or ocean product almost led me to punch him in the face; however, the Jezzies would track him down and kill him for what he said. I'm sure you can figure it out.
