Basic Info
Name:Got to be good-looking 'cos he's so hard to see
Bio
The name of this journal refers to a poem by Dylan Thomas. The subtitle refers to an Eddie Izzard sketch regarding the canteen on the Death Star.

The content of this journal is mostly lots of pointy-headed social/racial justice stuff with a 1950s British lower-middle class aesthetic: "S'more than my job's worth mate", "Put that cigarette out", " You can't do that here" etc. Plus stuff on sci-fi, drum and dance, Black expressive culture, theater, Chinese opera, and a minor in cinema.

I am diasporan, Sun Gum Saan Lo, colonial and colonizer and colonized. Or maybe I'm the mirror-universe version of the Wu Tang Clan.

I also teach race, class, nationalism, expressive culture and anthropology at a university in the illegally-occupied sovereign kingdom of Hawai`i.

Anyone interested in putting bell hook's ideas on community, race and class into action is more than welcome.

I usually reply to people's comments but it sometimes takes a little while. A ste Chainiz taim aes wai ( I stay Chinese time, 'ass why )
