Beautiful weather in Shanghai, see for yourselves!

I’m not sure what specifically drove her to refer to [...]

Er?

By sushipan in sushipanda

I was having dinner with my Japanese friend Chieko last night, who has been in Shanghai over two years. Every conversation has centered around food, since she’s made it a point to introduce me to authentic Japanese places. She seems to have very high standards for Japanese fare, eschewing most sashimi restaurants because she bemoans [...]

Untainted Adoreableness

By sushipan in sushipanda

This is so fucking cute that I wish we could just rent cute kids and pay by the hour to be cute so that we don’t have to get sick of them and deal with when they get all awkward and weird when they hit puberty.

Vicious cycle

By sushipan in sushipanda

I’ve been having some major problems accessing Wordpress lately, and thus have not been able to post anything for quite some time. Having an ISP in the States totally sucks. Republic Studios is having no problem whatsoever with its Hong Kong-based server. Too bad it’s expensive and I’m cheap.
So here are the things that [...]

A class on “The Wire” at Berkeley

By sushipan in sushipanda

Holy shit, there’s going to be a class on “The Wire” at Cal! And even better, the instructor is one of my old film professors, the esteemed Linda Williams, who once gave a lecture comparing pornography to the American musical. My best thing that happened to me as a result of that lecture was going [...]
