Love the tap dancing on the temple steps. Hysterical. Happy valentine's day Sarah.

Happy v-day, fellow tiger.

I heard an interview with E. Ethelbert Miller. His collection of poetry is entitled, How I Sleep on Nights We Don't Make Love. The title is, like your work, provokative and evocative. I don't know much about him or his works. I'll pass it along as that.

Thank you for the Python Valentine ditty. So un-P.C. inappropriately funny.

Gee, we're doing Imperial China in Humanities at school, but I don't think I can show your clip (especially with a Chinese student who "only comes up to your knees" in the room).

Isn't the tallest, or second-tallest, man in the world Chinese? This song was written in the day before PC was hip. I swear I had nothing to do with writing it or producing the video. I just wanted to express my admiration for the Chinese. This video has left out gunpowder and fireworks. It omits Ming Dynasty vases. Foot binding. The abacus. But I don't think the Chinese actually invented chess. I'm too tired to look it up.

Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets is a national hero in China. I think he's 7'6". The Chinese also invented dishware and the Junk.

I thought chess (or a predecessor of same) came to us from India (kind of like Madras shirts and KIM -- a book I just can't get up for reading).
