James and Erin are here. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see two people – both of them! – come into the baggage claim area last night. I was nervous as I could be waiting for them there – I kept thinking there would be some other problem with the passport, visa, [...]

Okay, I saw The Dark Knight over the weekend and, contrary to the thousand gushing reviews I’ve read, I didn’t think it was that great. It wasn’t terrible, but I just didn’t think it deserved all of the hype it’s gotten – and I wonder how much of that hype is because of Heath Ledger’s [...]

I got an email from James this morning. They went to the U.S. embassy in Seoul this morning and were able to get his passport situation straightened out. He can pick up his new passport this afternoon. Then they will try to get on the next available flight from Seoul to Saigon. I looked online [...]

If I may say so myself, [...]

Okay, below is a film I did for my friend Brighton’s film festival back in the summer of 2005. Notice: “summer of 2005.” Three long years ago – three years during which I have grown and matured in so many ways that I can’t even begin to itemize them. Plus, it’s just a joke! It’s [...]

Here are a couple of photos from the party for Thao’s niece, Bao Ngan’s one-month birthday party a few weeks ago (iPhone only b/c my Canon “disappeared” at that same party): (I think I posted this first one directly from my iPhone earlier – sorry for the repeat): It’s just not an infant’s birthday party [...]
