Yellow Fever: This video was produced by a couple UC San Diego students, and it's hilariousy funny. Or maybe it's just funny to Asians. Watch it and tell me what you think. It's about 15 minutes long.

Well I laughed. :) Though I think they missed on the chance to comment on the inability of giant green dino-men to attract the ladies. ;)

I thought it was hysterical. Of course, I went to UC Irvine and am one of the rare white girls married to an Asian guy.

I thought it was interesting (to make this somewhat writing related) how the guys tried to figure out what girls wanted and found attractive. And their thought process was pretty funny. But it's those kinds of things that we as writers can use to differentiate our characters and make them seem real.

LOL! What I want to know is whether you are married to a white guy Camy? And FWIW one of my white girlfirneds is married to an Asian guy. Maybe it is a supply and demand thing. Not many Asian guys in Kansas!

I'm really having problems with Quicktime. I looked up how the knee joint works and had not problem getting that (could have been on a different system, I suppose but I thought it had the QT logo). I've tried to install it several times but it always gives me an error message. Of course, I do have an old and decrepit computer a Pentium II and it seems that even some of the things that should work on here won't.

Please say an additional little prayer for me. Thanks, sweetie. I just seem to have no-one truly supportive close to me.

That was so funny! My husband (white) walked by my computer to see what I was listening to. And yes, his arms are hairy. TMI, sorry.

You never can tell what that Camy is going to post next.

In the meantime, I'll be at

Ha ha ha, LOLOLOL!
I think I found it sooo funny because I'm from a inter-racial family (mom Native American, dad White)..so what does that make me? A hybrid, of course. There's a lot of similarities like the hairless arms and no-butt. Too funny!

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible , and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me. Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues a larger story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy. Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience. If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you. Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start. ✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...
