“One particular gown stood out: a sleeveless white silk sheath with an elaborate print ($3,400) that said, ‘I am Basquiat in hell, forced to endure a Sisyphean nursery school where I trace my hand and paint multilegged monster turkeys and get an F, forever.

"the movie loses its opportunity to explore this reappropriation of stereotypes by real-life Asian American men who used society’s perception of them — for better or for worse — to steal millions from Las Vegas casinos."
Issues like this make me wish — momentarily — that my ex the poet/poker player (I know) and I were still on speaking terms. We did have some really excellent angry discussions about representations of Asian males in the media. And I’m sure he has plenty to say about gambling stereotypes, too.
If we had never had a relationship in the first place, I’d like to think we would’ve made pretty good friends.

I’m proud of myself, but what weight does it carry when I still can’t get an interview anywhere? I’ve got 16 months before the 09-10 library school term starts — what to do in this time?
