Before going to Cambodia, I decided to spruce up my music library a bit by buying the singles that have scored my life. I posted on Facebook that I just spent $20 $21 on music, and I thought I’d share. Here’s a list of my last 30 downloads, plus a couple extras:
My Last 30 Downloads
Freddi Fish: Sing Along
Who else played Freddi Fish as a kid? Edutainment point-and-click adventure, but very fun at the time. (MMO-makers take note: this is how you make fetch quests!)
Anyway, while cleaning out our house my brother and I found a cassette tape of Freddi Fish songs. We thought they’d be fairly good kids’ songs, and nostalgic as well. But it turns out they’re actually really bad.
Hǎoqù: A TR Fanfiction
Last Sunday I went to see the staged reading of Paul Heller’s Beijing, California, which is being put on by the Asian American Theater Company and directed by Duy Nguyen, one of the founders of Theatre Rice. It was quite an experience, even without real staging, costumes, whatever.
This particular piece, however, comes inspired by the trailer for the play, made by TR alum Huy Vu. (If you aren’t within Huy’s Facebook circle, you can watch the trailer on YouTube.) Specifically, it was Sasha’s first comment that put the seeds of the idea into my head.
Watch the trailer, then come back and read Hǎoqù, a story about a few TR members in those troubled times.
