Have I expressed my deep and undying love for Kathleen Hanna before? If I haven’t, well, consider this a declaration. Because she is amazing and awesome and downright adorable. All of which came rushing back to me when this song popped up on my iPod the other day. … Continue Reading

There’s a lot to do in Singapore – the city is probably the most built-up in South-East Asia, and visitors are pretty much spoilt for choice with the list of things to do. But if you’re looking for a quiet afternoon/day/couple of hours, you can’t go wrong with coffee and a trip to a great bookshop. And Singapore – hurrah! – has at least two that are so very worth a visit. … Continue Reading
In between work stuff, book stuff and figuring out whether or not I’d like to risk getting arrested going to a Malaysian Pride event (answer: I do not), I’ve really been missing the gay in my life. Fortunately, a girl can always turn to her friends or TV for a bit of a mood lift, and for everything else, there’s Youtube. … Continue Reading

So usually I go with a Disney villain theme for my Hallowe’en costume, but given that this year has been a big bunch of changes in everything else I’ve done, I thought I’d mix it up and go with a 90′s icon for a change. Plus, Neneh Cherry is a badass. And totally hot.

Everyone, I think, has an author or a book that they go back to time and again – a book that is so good, you started reading it a second time right after you’d finished it for the first (and if you don’t have that book, I think it’s probably because you just haven’t found it yet). For me, Jhumpa Lahiri is that author, and Interpreter of Maladies, her Pulitzer Prize-winning debut is that book. … Continue Reading
Did anyone else notice this bitsy interview with Jane Lynch from August’s issue of Vanity Fair? I didn’t even know she’d written a book, but apparently she has. And a good thing it is too, because this interview has answered many important questions. Like: do Hollywood Power Lesbians all eat dinner together? … Continue Reading
So apparently this is actually a thing: … Continue Reading

OHMYGODYOUGUYS I haven’t been this excited since I found out Lip Service was ending. Ivan E Coyote – you know, I wrote about her before – has her very own, brand new column. You know what this means, right? A regular fix of the kind of writing that makes me tangle my hair around my fingers and sigh (I KNOW I KNOW, how emodramatic is that? BUT IT’S TRUE). … Continue Reading
So my best friend is here from New York/Malaysia and I am super glad to have her here, not least because she reminds me of all the things about my late teens/childhood that I adored. It’s great. So here’s to good friends and remembering your younger years with fondness. … Continue Reading
So I hate film remakes at the best of times (what’s the point even? I didn’t watch Conan the Barbarian the first time around, I’m extremely unlikely to watch a testosterone-pumped version of the same. Also the Swedish version of Let the Right One In was far superior to its Hollywood remake, as was the Korean version of The Eye and every Japanese version of every horror film ever). … Continue Reading
Like, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it obviously isn’t. But I find myself listening to a song, liking it, figuring out the words and singing along, and then all of a sudden, I sound like the office pervert. … Continue Reading
