Holy crap my work is crawling with the gays. I was at the photocopier making a copy of a manuscript on anthropology and queer studies when this guy walks by and asks me what I thought of the movie Friday night. He was referring to Hellbent, the gay slasher flick I went to see at the North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. (The movie was fun, by the way, though not great. It lacked a crucial aspect of slasher films which is speculation on why the killer kills, who the killer is, and why he selects those particular victims to stalk.)

I also caught Saving Face, the Chinese American lesbians movie. It was also fun but not great. The politics of it are not the most provocative, but it had lots of wonderful little moments that made me laugh. Well-written script, I guess. The chemistry between the women lovers wasn't great, but it was still a cute romance. Oh, and as I was waiting at the concession stand for my friend, Robyn walked by and said, "How did I know you would be here?" Heh. I guess I'm kinda predictable.

Oh, and I'm drawing up a rejection letter for this proposal "What Asians Need to Know About America, From A to Z." Sounds like a winner. Wonder why it got rejected. (Oooo. He has blurbs from Asians saying how helpful this book project is.)

I wonder what "z" thing it might be that I need to know?

I saw Saving Face and mostly, I sat in awe of Joan Chen.

yah

No kidding. Joan Chen is like the most beautiful person in the world.

Cuz, in this country, we use forks.

Yeah.

How would you know? You're, like, Asian, aren't you?

Ugh the bad thing about living in a town of 6000 people is I can't see Saving Face! I so heart Joan Chen!

Also I am sad that the slasher flick misses those key elements because you know, those *are* key. And I heart slasher flicks with those key elements possibly even more than I heart Joan Chen. Is that sad or what?
