My all time favorite Miwa clips aside from the demonic line read in Princess Mononoke where she laughs is this one scene in The Strange Case Of Yukio Mishima where she talks about reading him for filth as being a scrawny little bitch at a gay bar and he got so mad he started lifting weights.

Finally watching KDeHun. It's a little too wink-wink nudge-nudge. And the S Korea soft power metaphor is NOT subtle. I'm obsessed with the Tiger!

I'm at a birthday party, and there's a gay with the most handsome diasporic Chinese face across the room. And I just keep stealing glances instead of going over to strike up a conversation.

I don't like these AI email summaries, even though I admit they can be helpful with large threads involving multiple senders and recipients over an extended period of time, coz it means the machines are reading my emails. I want my recipients to read my emails, not a third party robot.

Showtime on the train is only impressive, if you've never been to a drag show. We do mediocre dancing on rickety stages that could seriously hurt ourselves and the audience at any moment, too, but in show outfits, to better music, and in a different kind of bad lighting.

My father and I are talking, coz I want to buy a desktop PC and am insisting on his input. He keeps saying he doesn't keep up with computers anymore, but he's already stopped me from buying something with lower processing power and smaller RAM memory than I need, just bc it's cheap.

It’s not necessary to keep highlighting the qualities of exceptional immigrants as a reason for them to be treated well by their governments. We don’t have to be on our best behaviour to receive a basic level of human decency: that‘s why they’re called “human rights”, and not “human privileges”.

I don't believe any industry will self-regulate, coz (1) I've seen Kitchen Nightmares, and (2) I currently work in a senior home where I am instructed to turn a blind eye to so many things and advised to be "firmer with" (i.e. meaner to) the residents.

Make that 3! I feel these producers/directors are coming to someone who never auditions, coz more trained actors may be dropping out of no-pay/low-pay gigs (which is the bulk of new theatre). The state is live preformance is bleak!

I've gotten SO MANY beautiful targeted ads from fast fashion lines. Took a chance on something—too large, subpar material, and needed alterations. Now, I'm looking for winter clothes on Uniqlo, coz I know theirs work, but I don't like how things look.

Just had to turn down a second theatre audition from people who know me well, and approached me with, "We have this character you'd play very well, and we want you to audition for it," coz I can't commit in terms of time and money.

I spent a summer in (around) Austin TX, and had a great time—largely coz it became a spiritual retreat hanging out with some local pagans. The fact that ATX has become synonymous with "conservative comedy" is really disappointing. It's actually home to the International Drag Fest.

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]

JANET:
Ugh...

LIZ:
What's up?

JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!

LIZ:
Have you tried...

AI peas?

JANET:
AI peas?

LIZ:
They're peas with AI!

[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].

LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas

JANET:
What

LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?

[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]

LIZ:

Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

JANET:
What

LIZ:
Shut up

LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow

From opening the bag of peas

to boiling the peas

to eating the peas

To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

JANET:
Is it really necessary to-

LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET

[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:

AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

My show is gonna be so good, and I'm so happy it's coming together nicely. There still are several tasks to complete, but I am surprisingly not overwhelmed or exhausted. Everything is in the hands of people I trust. I'm working hard, but not too much. I FEEL ALIVE!

I always want titles or sign-language at shows for accessibility, but often when I'm singing in non-English languages, I want my audience to indulge themselves in feelings through sound and movement, and not investigate meaning through words and translation.

People wouldn't buy this BS anymore coz, if you actually lived here, you'd know: (1) We've been trying to get horses off the streets. (2) Hot Girls for Zohran. (3) Way too many S Asian officers in NYPD. (4) More halal carts than any type of street vendors Fascists can't build coalitions.
