I’m making dishcloths now to practice keeping my tension even, the hats I made for Christmas were a little uneven. Now I want to make an armadillo. :) Thanks for sharing your history!

sundubu Link ParentFun! What do you like about knitting vs crochet? I’m the opposite, I used to knit and fell out of it, and now I’ve just picked up crochet. Made lots of beginner hats for Christmas gifts.Fun! What do you like about knitting vs crochet? I’m the opposite, I used to knit and fell out of it, and now I’ve just picked up crochet.

I loved Hamilton. I cried a ton when the whole cast lined up on the edge of the stage in the first number, it was so inspiring. :) Fingers crossed we get to see something as incredible as Hamilton by and for API audiences someday!

I’m an actor and I understand needing to work and taking a job like this to get your foot in the door - I’ve heard that if you’re Asian in NYC and you don’t have Miss Saigon on your resume you won’t be taken seriously at auditions. I haven’t auditioned there and don’t know how accurate that is, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it is accurate. But I totally agree with the writer, it’s time to retire Miss Saigon and have something new. Am cautiously optimistic for Crazy Rich Asians this summer, but I wish there was an awesome Asian American story in tv or film or theater. Something as great as Hamilton, but with more for women to do, haha.

Comment on Last Jedi Opinions? So Solo is not doing so well in theaters in ~movies
sundubu LinkI loved TLJ and TFA! I grew up watching episodes 4, 5, & 6 and I can’t believe we get to have more Star Wars movies today. I feel like a little kid again at every new film.

Just saw Solo as well and I liked it, except for the score. It made me sad, you could tell someone on the artistic team didn’t trust the storytelling, so they tried to up the emotional stakes through the music and totally overdid it. I’d have enjoyed it a lot more if the score was different. Anyway, what I loved the most about TLJ was how it subverted my expectations and passed the torch on to the next generation. I love Rey, Finn, and Rose the most. Didn’t love the casino subplot but understood why it was there. Wanted more Finn, am hoping he’ll have more to do in the next film. I do enjoy fan service, but I’d rather have creative storytelling that hooks me in emotionally and challenges my expectations.
Paper! Feels best in my hands. Love cover art. I like the convenience of e-books (instant downloads, storage capacity, great for travel), but the device isn’t as comfortable to hold as a paper book. And I keep losing my charger. And I know, it’s an easy fix, I need to keep the charger in one place. I kept moving it between rooms and now I can’t find it. When I find it someday, I’ll keep it in one place, haha.
