Revisiting 'Her'
I want to take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Her. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Samantha, we follow a man as he falls in love (and out of love) with a computer designed to fulfill his specific needs. The story that Jonze tells is original and profound, yet does not seem far off from the world we live in today. Everywhere I go I am speed-walking past folks with their eyes on their phones, moving at a glacial pace.

I've Stopped Trying to Forget
I left the house at dusk and watched the bugs hover in the thick mist, illuminated like stars. Sam met me where my dad's bike was chained to a stop sign near the edge of the woods and we walked hand in hand on the old trail.

If Asian Dating Is Your Persuasion, Single and the City Should Be Your Thing
A few years ago, I was friended by one Amber Guesa on Facebook. She runs a social dating site called SingleAndTheCity. I looked at the pictures on her page, and I was quite intrigued.

Grounded to yet another boring weekend in Westchester, Amber personally invited me to an event that I could not be persuaded to miss.
