i don't know who this kid is, or why he made this video, but watching him dance makes me so damn happy. good music too, even though the clips are super short!

Grandma Update

MY GRANDMA WOKE UP!!!!! i wish it had been while i was in taiwan, but the good news is that she's conscious, she can speak and move her arms, but she's pretty out of it. she needs dialysis every couple days, but she's breathing on her own. talk about a tough cookie at age 93. maybe we can squeeze a few more good years out of her. it's hard to say. but at least my family gets to hang with her some more.

THIS SUNDAY!

OK folks, if any of you care to watch it, the episode of Brothers and Sisters that I worked on airs THIS COMING SUNDAY at 10pm on ABC!

I'm excited, because once it airs, my IMDb credit will appear. Yay! So....if you see it, let me know what you think? I dunno if i'll catch it sunday...i don't ...Read more

Flashback

i'm still in taiwan, spending some family time with my bro and the 'rents. in many ways, it's like i'm home in north carolina or something. rather than trying to go into taipei every opportunity like i did the last two years i visited taiwan, we've just been hanging a lot at home watching movies on the english channels. it's a sign of the times when 3/4 of us are glued to our laptops. but even my mom gets skype calls from her friends in NC. pretty funny if you think about it.

something struck me today, while i r...Read more
