ETHNIC

Yes, I am an enabler, why because it's at these events where you can find the most ethnic products in one spot...everyone has not yet read my book so they see those multi-cultural products and think they can't use them,...

I'm not an "emotional" person, but this review of my book brought me to tears. Blogger "Jen" really understood my book. I might have been a tad bit emotional about her words and overly excited about the projects she created...

If you ever fly in or out of LaGuardia, you?ve probably grown to dread the experience; a delay of ?only? 60-90 minutes is better than average. But I?ve discovered a new method for enjoying a LaGuardia visit. It?s simple: I...

I know it's a few days early, but I wanted to give you a sneek peak at the project I'll be demonstrating this weekend at the SOLD OUT www.cropmania.com event in Annapolis, MD this weekend. Monday I'll post more photos...

okay, now that Tavi and Talisa have their own place...I can finally THINK! Or so I thought...really it's my to do list and 2 piles near my desk that have stiffled me severely. I feel overwhelmed with book related business...

Just a quick heads up that I have a new side project going on:
100JapaneseThings.com

The concept:
Write about 100 fun Japanese things (i.e. not textbooks) for the benefit of people learning Japanese. And provide some key phrases and hints to help folks out.

FOR EXAMPLE:
This week fellow 100japanesethings writer EatABug introduces an authentic (but not serious) Japanese web page that helps you predict the future of your poop.

And I introduce plenty of ways to take revenge on your husband through his lunchbox.

Load up your Japanese fonts, and you might learn how to say, well, um, lots of weird stuff.

IN OTHER NEWS: Worry not, kidethnic.com lives on! Back in Japan now, but still bringing the India stories…

UP NEXT: A briefing on how to properly imply that a Mumbai-resident has been cheating at a friendly game.

For example, if, on the day after I took this photo of my brother, I had written you a text, it would have read something like this:

TODAY I HAD TO KILL A BIG MAMMAL WITH A KNIFE AND THEN SPENT THE MORNING CARRYING MEAT THROUGH THE BOMBAY STREETS AND THE BUCKETS WERE SO HEAVY AND THEN WE HAD TO CUT THE MEAT AND SPICE THE MEAT AND THEN I TOOK A NAP AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CONTACTS IN

AHHHHHAGODOHMYGODMAMMALSPICE IN MY EYE.
