You can always tell a Will Harris RR within two questions.  Thanks for this one, Colm Feore elevates everything he’s in and he sounds like a totally hoot to interview.

That’s Japanese convention, last name first.  I assumed that’s what they were going for.

Injection SQL hack. Was all the rage a few years ago.

I caught her in a show in LA over ten years ago and she was delightful and easily the standout of the night. It’s hard to wrap my head around how long she’s been doing this and she’s definitely underused on SNL - I’ll be keeping an eye out for her special...

Her essay in the New Yorker had me ugly crying - I’ve been waiting for this book to drop ever since.  Glad to see it well-reviewed!

I was all in from the announcement that Simu Liu was the lead but as an Asian and a woman, seeing Awkafina as his BFF has me bouncing in my seat. I know Marvel’s gonna hit all the requisite beats and they’re gonna look awesome and the casting is glitter sprinkles on the buttercream on the fondant of that cinematic conf…

Brad Garrett? So the supertall guy who was in everything on TV for a few decades is now co-producing family-friendly fare on Disney+ with David E. Kelley, who produced everything on TV for a few decades.  

Raw radishes with a pat of butter and a few grains of flaky salt are a thing I only learned in the past few years from The Wednesday Chef’s blog and I am addicted.  I have eaten entire bunches of radishes without realizing it until I was scraping up the last of the butter and salt from the dish with a lonely scrap. …

It came out last year, but currently reading “Minor Feelings” by Cathy Park Hong and I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that hit so close to home in the first few pages. I’m getting copies to share with a few other Asian friends, along with “Crying in HMart” later this month. “Minor Feelings” puts words to…

I MUST I MUST

That... explains a lot to me as someone who spent too many late nights in basement clubs in the 90s dancing to Lords of Acid.

As much as I enjoyed every second of that, as a math nerd:

I would happily watch Hiddleston read names out of a phone book while wearing sweats for hours, I’m more than willing to use up Disney’s one-week free trial once the whole series is available.

90s Odenkirk: God’s first draft of Chris Evans

If you’re in Canada, I just picked up a Kit Kat Chunky Popcorn bar at the Circle K. It’s worth trying.

And I just learned RZA’s in this too and I’m bouncing in my seat with excitement.

I was all like “ooh I have to rewatch that” but then I got to West Coast/East Coast Ventriloquism and Choo-Choo and seeing Jay Johnston just made me sad.

Good grief, I’ve had a crush on Bob Odenkirk for, like, almost 20 years. I’m not setting foot in a theater but I’m excited to see this for some check-your-brain-at-the-door fun and hear Bah Bodenkirk say lines like he does in this trailer at 0:30:

The Asian grocery chain stores in my (Canadian) city carry the matcha, strawberry and cherry blossom (sakura), and occasionally they’ll have the more... unique flavours. Check out your nearest HMart if you have one? Amazon.com carries some Japanese flavours as well - and if you’re willing to pay the shipping, you can…

One of the most interesting Japanese Kit Kats I brought back a few years ago was a custard-flavoured Kit Kat specifically made to be browned in a toaster oven.  Two minutes under a broiler and it actually had nice caramelized crusty bits.
