Oh my god. Simon Beaufoy is writing a screenplay adapted from Sharp Teeth. And Danny Boyle may direct it. THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. I remember thinking some time ago, It'd be really cool if Danny Boyle directed an adaptation of this. AND NOW IT MAY ACTUALLY HAPPEN. SO MUCH FUCKING WIN ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think that my instructors see me as the poster child for all things Asian. In Safety and Sanitation class, I swear that Chef George stared straight at me when he asked if anyone needed a Chinese version of the ServSafe test. (Never mind the fact that I'm Vietnamese...) Then the other day Chef Devon looked in my direction when she ( Read more... )

Hearing people say that they are going to make an effort to buy handmade and support independent artists is the best response I could have hoped for, and it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside ( Read more... )
