More signs that you are a grownup: When you spend Memorial Day Weekend not at a drunken apartment balcony barbeque but at SeaWorld, holding onto a pen and methodologically checking off the must-see attractions on your map.

Sanjaya!
He looked as creepy as ever with his predator-esque poses [...]

OK, I’m officially Asian’d out. On Saturday, I went to the APA Book Festival and to see The Kims of Comedy. Tomorrow, I’m going to UCLA to cover the AZN Asian Excellence Awards. On Thursday, I’m going to watch Aaron Yoo in a screening of American Pastime. Seriously, this is all very great, but I [...]

I haven’t been following Dancing With The Stars very closely this season (I’ve only watched every other episode), but I now know what I’ve been missing. Dude. Who needs Skinemax when you can watch Apolo & Julianne jive? RoWR.
