Has anyone noticed things are getting a little bit pricier? My hair cut was a dollar more, my breakfast egg on a roll is a nickel more, my rent is up 5%. Thank heavens I booked my plane ticket to DC for my next March trip before they started the fare war today, which would have tacked another $5. With the MTA budget overruns, I’ll bet that train fare will hit 2.50, and then there goes the slice of pizza. Will this be the tipping point?

Dentist cleaning tomorrow morning – yay! I have the 9 AM appointment, and I just found out my Corporations professor has the 8:30 AM appointment.

Thank goodness for weekend.

Updated my little website.  Fixed a graphic, minor tweaks here and there, particularly on the links page.  Check it out!

TV:

“Ugly Betty” – episode deserved a thumbs up.  As much as I didn’t care for the conspiracy storyline, it worked out very well (the cast is major talented, I must say – this would have floundered at the hands of lesser talents).  Daniel found out that his long-thought-dead brother Alex was now… Alexis – via a sex change (like, gee, Alexis, seriously no one in the family knew of your deep-seated gender confusion?) – and the Meade sibling rivalry remains, causing their father’s magazine empire to face a major – uh – transformation.  Betty had her own sibling rivalry issues with her sister Hilda (who seemed to be irritating the models at Fashion Week until it turned out they like her – which frustrated Betty to no end).  Hilda and Daniel kissed (!), but more because they were drunk and foolish over their sibling issues.  Hooray that Betty and the accountant are getting closer again!  Justin, Betty’s nephew, got to enjoy Fashion Week by being Wilhelmina’s temporary assistant (Wilhemina having been blinded by faulty botoxin injection’s swelling up around her eyes).   Too funny.  Heck, even Betty’s dad’s immigration problem is turning to be not as tragic as it had been awhile back – not when the federal investigator is now trying to make him love her – uh, talk about conflict of interest, lady!

“Grey’s Anatomy” – Meredith’s mom, Ellis, got to be lucid – temporarily, though.  Wow, Ellis Grey as lucid was curiously interesting.  Ellis as senile Alheimer’s patient who still gnawed at her daughter was one thing; Ellis as lucid – clearly in conflict.  She missed the last five years of her life, and picked up where she thought she left off with Meredith – arguing with Meredith to go to med school (back when Meredith, evidentally a perfectly focused and bright girl, probably was still recovery from partying with the frats of the Ivy League – yeah, right).  Only, Meredith did go to med school – yet Ellis is still disappointed, because Meredith just wants to be happy with her man – not aggressively out to be the cardiac surgeon her mother was.  Ellis is imperfect – even those interns (re: Cristina) who idolize her knew she messed up on the life-career balance thing – Ellis mostly knew she screwed up her life in giving up the love of her life, the Chief.  The scene with Ellis and the Chief – aww – amazing stuff.  Her making him promise to look after Meredith (before she went back into senility); Meredith’s heart-breaking moment of basically telling her mom that she both loved and hated her – and saying that only hope was what helped her believe that one day a cure would let them finally get to know each other – what stuff! 

It reminds anyone why this show is called “Grey’s Anatomy.”  It’s always more compelling when Ellis appears and Meredith comes across as such a person.  Yeah, Meredith has her friends and McDreamy, but she’s often very much alone – being her mother’s daughter – and it was nice that the Chief is someone who can understand.  If he’s a father figure for anyone, he’s probably the closest thing for Meredith, who can barely face her own biological dad.

Cristina Yang’s jerking around Burke’s marriage proposal was a bit much – but gee, will she learn from Ellis’ (personal) mistakes?  And, George and Callie getting married – crazy – and inevitably, Izzy adopted the role of irritating sister-in-law, spewing all kinds of bile at Callie (good for George to defend Callie).  Liked seeing how Dr. Bailey was loving her clinic – she’s a surgeon, yes, but she’s a great doctor and a good person.

Last but not least by any means: the report on global warming is out, and what does it mean?  

In a grim and powerful assessment of the future of the planet, the leading international network of climate scientists has concluded for the first time that global warming is “unequivocal” and that human activity is the main driver, “very likely” causing most of the rise in temperatures since 1950. 

They said the world was in for centuries of climbing temperatures, rising seas and shifting weather patterns — unavoidable results of the buildup of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere.

But their report, released here on Friday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said warming and its harmful consequences could be substantially blunted by prompt action.

“could be substantially blunted by prompt action” means what?  We all get hybrid cars?  use more wind and solar power?  Recyle, re-use, etc.?  What Would Al Gore Do? 

An entertaining look at a Yale undergrad who’s figuring out how to maximize the dining hall’s capabilities: for instance, young Zach Marks manages to cook up chicken satay with the common college staples and a microwave – and, in between extracurricular activities and his inclination to be an urban planner, he pulled off a roast pig party in his freshman year.  Oh, my…

Colleague and I went to Thomas Beisl, an Austrian cuisine bistro across the street from BAM.  Cool place – food was terrific for pretty good prices (in the $20-$40) range.  NY Times review said it was delicious.  I had the weiner schnitzel (breaded and fried pork cutlets, an Austrian national food – link presented for purposes of edifying those who – like I was – wasn’t sure what exactly was schnitzel) and for dessert – cheese strudel in vanilla sauce.  Mmm.  Yummy!  Plus, as BAM didn’t have a performance, not crowded at all.  Ambiance was good; staff was nice; bathroom – clean (I take that into consideration, really).

Okay, well, I’m a sucker for fried food anyway, and now I can see why schnitzel’s a loved food…

Tuesday’s “House” – an odd episode.  On the one hand, I wanted to feel it was powerful, but I thought the rape victim patient was irritating (House being the last person to help a rape victim – and, honestly, isn’t he or his hospital obligated by law to treat this far more seriously than they did – was a rape counselor even available?  Victim was so traumatized that she had lost all rationale – telling House she wanted to talk, but didn’t know what to talk about – except about the rape – and doesn’t know why she still wanted him as her doctor, when she clearly didn’t even want him touching her after he confirmed she had an STD and realized that she was a rape victim; her only reason for wanting to keep him as her doctor?  Because she could tell he had been hurt too.  Aww.  Total manipulator – she was brutalized and wanted to regain control – or so House’s team determined – by asserting she wanted House as her doctor).  For more than one moment, I thought she was a figment of House’s imagination to get him to work out his internal demons (since drug rehab was a complete failure for him).

House – actor Hugh Laurie brilliant as ever – was as a touch irritating in his constant refusal to change.  I wasn’t entirely surprised by the revelation of his abusive childhood and who his abuser was; but I’m getting tired of how he won’t … change.  Perhaps that’s how it is – he is a character who simply won’t change, because he has been too angry over how his past was and how he knows the power of lies – hell, I think he lies to himself or is just too damn honest – after awhile, things blur and you just can’t quite tell with House – oh, and he had his stroke in his leg and he lost the love of his life and he was shot last season, and life just plain sucks.  

 Dr. Cameron is another irritation, as she got saddled with yet another cancer-dying patient. Yes, we know she can’t handle people who die (why is she a doctor – uh, oh, well) and she is constantly reminded of how her husband died of cancer too.  Dr. Foreman needs some lines (after all, like House, he’s had his own traumatic thing – and I think he was in denial about it).  Dr. Chase had the closest thing to suggesting the right thing: informing House that there may not be the right answer to treating this victim.  Well, leave it to a guy who might still have a moral compass and was going to be a priest to try to say something nice. 

Personally, I enjoy the show most when they move towards the ensemble feeling and less of the obvious burden on Hugh Laurie – House and Wilson are fun to watch (come on – it’s Robert Sean Leonard as Wilson – he has acting chops!); and the younger doctors jousting with each other and House – can we get more of that again, pretty please? 

Hell, I’ll even take the evil Vogel back.  Vogel was evil for the sake of being evil – he enjoyed being the boss from hell.  Vogel the character was a total contrast from the role Chi McBride played on “Boston Public” – the high school principal with the greatest of intentions (well, I stuck with Boston Public only during the first season and a half, so perhaps I’m wrong).  I didn’t quite care for the detective character that David Morse played – Morse was a great actor, but his character strained belief as this season’s villain – I mean, if there’s a poster boy for police corruption, that was Det. Tritter.  His evilness wasn’t as fun or as excusable as Vogel’s evilness.   

And a final mention: the passing of Olympic medalist C.K. Yang.

Sooo, Mondays are that much more competitive in the wonderful world of tv, with Heroes up against 24.  Now, I’d like to be an actual 24 fan, only the violence gets a bit much for me.  Like who else will die; it gets a little crazy and seriously depressing.  Plus, the plot holes get a little annoying (am I really supposed to be believe these seemingly non-suicidal terrorists would let a-bombs go off?  At least be a few hundred miles away before letting the nuke blow up.  They have to be suicidal, yet one of these idiots helping the terrorists seems to think giving them a-bombs would help him and his girlfriend have lots of moola – is that all??).
Also, things are getting interesting on Heroes – actor Masi Oka is the real pleasure to watch.  Playing the time-space bender Hiro, he’s entertaining.  I like it most when they move past the near-stereotyping (“Asian nerd” stereotype can be a bit irritating to watch) – Hiro as the tragic hero – who likes his powers but is slowing maturing – has been fascinating.  Soon to be on Heroes: George Takei (Sulu of Star Trek) as Hiro’s dad; turns out that Takei can speak Japanese.

I find the actor Masi Oka to be intruiging too – he still has his day job for George Lucas’ special effects company and he managed to have dual-majored in math, comp sci, and minored in drama at Brown U (talk about being way smart).

Hiro has a cool interaction with Nathan, the superpowered congressman wanna-be played by Adrian Pasdar (once known for his FOX tv-fan-cult show Profit, where he played a most troubled character…) – ex., Hiro happily calling Nathan “Flying Man” (having been the one person so far who has seen Nathan fly) and Nathan hoping he’ll stop doing that; and Nathan’s rather amusing attempt to help Hiro improve his English (“Billian”/”No, ‘Villain’” – Nathan being rather patient).  The two might turn into the most amusing sci-fi/fantasy pals pairings – kind of like Star Trek The Next Generation’s Data and Geordi (only Nathan is that much more of a straight man to Hiro’s funny guy).  Heck, they might even rival Star Trek’s Worf’s funnier moments (the “I am not a Merry Man” line has got to be among Worf’s best).  That I’m noticing the dramatic sci-fi’s funny moments has to mean something positive!
Plus, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Mohinder, the Indian genetics professor who’s the Professor X of the Heroes (ok, sorry – an X-Men reference on my part; Mohinder has no known powers at this time) – he’s quite a watch – good looking and I love his accent (okay, I like accents on good-looking and intelligent-seeming men).  Another cool Asian-American (he does the accent so well – yet he turns out to be Chicago-born and TX raised).  With Oka and Ramamurthy, I’m looking forward to seeing more diversity on tv!

Super Bowl hype time – well, I certainly find it great that you have two African-American head coaches – great stories – plus the whole Peyton Manning Saga – can he prove himself already?  (well, I’m pulling for the Colts – Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy have to do it already – momentum time!).

The passing of Rev. Robert Drinan – progressive priest, ex-congressman and ex-dean of Boston College Law School.  Fascinating reflection about Drinan on Newsweek’s website.

Weekend eating:
Friday at Becco: grilled veggie antipasti very nice. Three-way all-you-can-eat pasta hit-or-miss: taglitale with fresh tomato sauce not bad, linguine with white clam sauce – pasta on the very al dente side, pumpkin ravioli was the best.

Saturday: grazing through Chinatown: the unnamed dumpling place on Mosco Street around the corner from Transfiguration Church, random stuff from the Thai grocery on Mosco, Tasty Dumpling, 54 Mulberry Pl. Veggie shopping. A bakery that I forgot what it was called that had tasty but fugly dan tat.

Sunday: dim sum at Grand Harmony: above average – just staples ha gow and su mai were both a-wol. Then a side trip to Kings Plaza, where P wanted to try out the crepe place that I talked about last year, which turned out to have closed and been replaced with a Jackson Hewitt tax place. A number of other major stores were also decimated by this past Christmas season, including my childhood Waldenbooks (sigh), Banana Republic, and American Greetings, which has a 90% off sale until they close this week.

P- insisted that I blog about this one: we were in Macy’s and she was looking at watches. She pointed out one, saying “This is the travel watch, so you can see with time it is in different worlds“. I had to be a wise guy, and say “Oh, so you can tell the time in World of Warcraft, or find out when it is in Second Life”.

Reality show of the week: “Grease – the One that I Want” is a much nicer version of American Idol. All of the contestants have real talent – they get to sing non-60’s songs to show off their talents. I joined the stage crew when my high school did Grease, and boy I remember the songs and the fun times.

Parareality show of the week: Medium had a rocking episode Wednesday with “Better Off Dead”. It’s amazing how they manage to come up with new twists that keep this series fresh. I’m really looking forward to next week’s episode, where they turn everyone into dolls in a dollhouse.

Been a bit AWOL from blogging, as I had attended various NYS Bar Association events (hey, inexpensive CLE!) this past week and it wore me out, frankly.

Tv shows:

“Ugly Betty” – remains an intruiging tv show. Still don’t quite know what to make of the consipiracy storyline (I suppose having Rebecca Romaijn makes it that much more interesting to someone out there). But, I like how Betty and her boss Daniel are turning into good friends; not enough tv shows show how friendship is important.

“Grey’s Anatomy” – uh, the developments of the romantic relationships on this show is a bit batty. But, the one character I feel most for (besides Dr. Bailey, who is that much more mature than her bosses, the attendings who are nuts) is the Chief – who kind of made his own problems possible (by driving his wife nuts with his less-than-faithfulness and his inability to retire). Plus, Meredith Grey – the woman needs help getting over her emotional baggage, I still say.

Last but not least of noteworthiness:

Simon and Schuster announced the winners of the Strange New Worlds 10 contest, where new writers submitted short stories for the SNW 10. The webpage notes:

Ten years ago Pocket Books offered Star Trek fans a unique opportunity. Long before the Internet, Star Trek fans had written their own stories, which they then shared among friends and family. Now, the fans were offered a chance to become a part of the Star Trek mythos. A contest sponsored by Pocket Books would publish and pay for the best stories submitted by non-professional writers. And over the course of a decade, hundreds of pounds of submissions poured in. Many of the writers who submitted to Strange New Worlds went on to become professional writers.

As of 2007, we will be discontinuing the publication of Strange New Worlds.

Pocket Books is proud to have sponsored the only contest of this kind ever offered to the readers of their books. And over the years with the co-operation of Paramount Pictures, and now CBS Consumer Products, Pocket Books has published ten volumes of short stories “by the fans for the fans.” We would like to thank everyone who ever submitted a story to Strange New Worlds, and everyone who worked behind-the-scenes to make it all happen.

The alternate list was posted on the website of the editor, Dean Wesley Smith; you may recognize a certain SSW on the list; Dean notes:

Okay, here I can talk a little about the alternates and the process. But first off, I want to say again, Congratulations!! to the folks in the book, and to all of you who made the alternate list (good enough to be in the book), and to everyone who sent me a story. You are all winners in my book.

This alternate list is the stories I found that were good enough to be in the book in all ways. All these authors should be very proud of making this list. Job well done.

Feel free to repost this list to other sites, but please note where this is from and take the entire post please. And please pardon my spelling.

19 stories in the book this year.
29 alternates. Some reasons for this will be explained later in this topic.

The stunning realization that I was incredibly close to seeing my short story published – well, it’s been amazing to think about. It reminded me to keep at it with my writing; there’s payoff one day!

Postscript: oops; I’m so ill-mannered; meant to also say: congratulations to all participants!

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. ChinesePod’s Saturday Show had a segment about the use of the word “Oriental” vs “Asian“, the former acceptable in the UK, while rarely acceptable in the US, while the latter is preferred in the US, and in the UK only refers to South Asian Indians.

On the Daily Breakfast, Fr. Roderick describes his childhood taunting from other Dutch schoolchildren because his grandmother was Shanghainese, and his hair is black, not blonde. Now he wants to learn Chinese – possibly through Michigan State University’s Zon – think Berlitz meets Second Life, except in this massively multiuser game, you have to talk to everyone in Chinese just to get out of the virtual Beijing airport. My father has relatives in Suriname, which used to be called Dutch Guyana, and I think I have some distant cousins in the Netherlands (you need a scorecard to keep track of the extended relatives).

Finally finished reading Qiu Xialong’s “When Red is Black.” (in a past post, I linked to a Newsweek interview on the author). Now, I never read the Chief Inspector Chen of Shanghai series before, so this was interesting.

As a detective mystery – something of a disappointment – I really couldn’t find very much empathy for the murdered victim. She seemed a bit of a cypher – a professor who never gave up on the love she had for male prof during the Cultural Revolution – yet there’s doubt as to what was this love (they couldn’t have had an affair when the re-education camp would never have given them any privacy) and what personal gains may have been involved (did she use him?). The whole who-did-it was kind of weak – was it an inside job, done by the neighbors – but how likely, when none of the suspects had motives that worked?

But, as a novel – intruiging. Very strongly written, interesting style – very literary, even – and the vividness of the setting and the tension of living in a China that was/is in flux – more than made up for the weak mystery.
There were some odd errors – missing attributions (ex., placement of a paragraph would make a dialog look like someone else’s dialog, but it was really a continuation of, say, Inspector Chen’s observations – a simple “said Chen” would have clarified confusion) or slight grammatical errors or typos (Message to copy editor – hello, are you doing your job?). I’ve noticed too many books like that these days (not just in books by an author whose first language may not be English; read one or two of Anne Perry’s books and you’d wonder if the rush to print was a little too rushed). What’s with the publishing business? Take your time and edit properly!
Substantively speaking, Qiu’s book reminded me a lot of reading other literary detectives (guys who let their sidekicks do the legwork while they, say, quote poetry, drink booze (although Chen didn’t do that too much), flirt with women (intentionally or not), and think too much) – Qiu’s Chen was sort of like Colin Dexter’s Chief Inspector Morse or P.D. James’ Commander Dalgiesh (who, like Chen, is also a published poet) – which I have to say is my way of complimenting Qiu – he has an original spin on this kind of detective. Chen’s sort of bland, yes, but then again you kind of have to be a slightly repressed, career-driven, poetic minded person to deal with the “Communist” society in flux (plenty of ironies are portrayed, when you have characters who spout the party policies, but have their side businesses to get – say, food or something – on the table, since the government’s not doing that anymore).

The portrayal of Shanghai in the 1990’s seemed cool – certainly all the references to food would make foodies grin. (but, even if the setting is 1990’s, it felt an awful lot like the the early 2000’s – with the references to cell phones – but I’m hardly an expert on late 20th Century/early 21st century urban China).

Chen and his sidekick Yu have to deal with bureaucratic crap, corruption, and other stuff (balancing the needs of the family versus the needs of one’s self) – no differently than other detectives. I’ll see about reading their adventures again another time – maybe my mysteries reading is too oriented in America and Britain?
As the “Justice League” cartoon dvds were some of my Christmas presents and I’ve no life to speak of (or I’m procrastinating as usual – take your pick) – I’ve been watching a whole bunch of episodes this weekend so far. Thumbs up for this series – but then my geek side gets all happy seeing the superheroes do their thing.

The comic strip Funky Winkerbean has now stepped into a phase that probably only Garry Trudeau’s “Doonesbury” is already familiar – removing a familiar character’s trademark headgear. Like Doonesbury’s B.D., Funky’s longtime high school band director character Harry Dingle has always worn his marching band cap – it got to a point that you figure the character has no eyes (the visor thing always covered it). Now, I’m hardly a longtime reader of the comic strip, but it was pretty obvious that this guy, being that his marching band is his life, probably never took his cap off. Big revelation this week: Harry’s slowly losing his hearing, so he agreed to give up being band director to be the school’s music supervisor – and he’s NOT wearing his cap. In fact, he was hard to recognize (without his scowl, seriously, he looks like some brand spanking new character). This is as shocking as B.D. having his helmet removed after 30 years with it on (ok, yeah, B.D. also lost half of a leg, but really – his helmet made him the much-too-angry Doonesbury character that he was for so long). Weird!

Weather: 25 degrees going up to 37, snow/sleet hitting the ground not sticking. I didn’t want to go out today for lunch, but Golden Crust has $1 Jamaican beef patties until the end of January, so we didn’t want to miss out.

Cellphones: I pay too much for phone service that I don’t use all of. Even with my mom on as a family plan, I have like a gizillion rollover minutes on Cingular. On the other hand my SMS plan gets occasionally maxed out and the occasional long distance call is killer. My plan is over in April; while the iPhone looks fantastic, I have to think that the Samsung BlackJack, the Cingular 8525 or something Windows Mobile will be more practical.

Incredibly painful 2 days of American Idol. Maybe it was the editing, but it seemed that most of the contestants thought it was a costume contest, not a talent show. The montage of 27 different butcherings of the Pussycat Dolls’ Don’t Cha was crazy.

Been watching more of the cable channel G4 especially because of their tech coverage (miss CNET TechTV), and seeing lots of the old and new video games. Some of the best music actually ended up in video games. I’m re-discovering Japanese singer Utada Hikaru. She has more talent in her pinkie than two cities full of Idol wanabes. She composes, sings, and is awesome on the piano. Why aren’t they signing her up? And yes, she’s a New Yorker and an alumnae of SSW’s school. There’s a touring concert series called “Video Games Live” that performs video game themes. Will have to find them when they get to this neck of the woods.
