When I was your age...we didn't have this INTERNET thing...

About Me

3rd Gen Asian American, born in SF, grew up in Maryland, and then made educational pitstops in Boston, Baltimore, Chicago and Boston again before coming out to the wide open freeways and parking lots of Los Angeles.

My Interests

Asian American organizations, acting and improv comedy classes, travel, old school video games, travel, being a city slicker, talking, talking, talking

I'd like to meet:

YOU! Don't be offended if I don't remember your face though. I'm not good with faces. Hands, on the other hand...

Music:

I grew up on '80's music, but my musical tastes have developed backwards and forwards, so I'll listen to anything that's not too slow. As long as it's not one of those sappy love songs... I like hooks and catchy melodies. And odd lyrics. I've been discovering songs thanks to "Guitar Hero." Like, how did I grow up never hearing "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult until now???

Movies:

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure - best time travel movie ever (and...best Keanu Reeves movie ever)! But I do like Academy Award winning and foreign language movies too. And movies with lots of explosions :). Examples of movies I really like: Tampopo, This is Spinal Tap, Memento, Gladiator, Raiders of the Lost Ark, There's Something About Mary, 1/2 of the James Bond movies (although I can still describe the other 1/2 scene by scene). Oh, and how about Kung Fu Hustle?

Television:

Man, haven't had much time for TV. Nowadays it's mostly Adult Swim and Lakers basketball. Especially Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Number One in the Hood, G!

Books:

Best one recently? "The Art of SpeedReading People" - finally, a way to make the Myers Briggs Test useful! Do comic books count? "Why I Hate Saturn" - I think it's back in print.

Heroes:

You figure I'm a doctor, so I should have some doctor heroes, right? You bet - Dr. Who and Dr. Doom. So there. No, NOT Dr. Feelgood or Dr. Greenthumb.
