Stuff i find interesting. Asian Adoptee. Actor. March 27, 2015. Laura Ingalls Wilder and Me Part XVII: The Internets. LIW has discovered Buzzfeed. My parents bought her an iPad air (the engraving reads FOR OUR DEAREST LIW), and she’s watched Americans try Asian Snacks about 50 times. Every time she watches she turns to me and says, You’re an Asian Snack, and if my parents aren’t around I give her a good, hard pinch. She stops sucking on her braid and turns her whole head to stare at me. March 27, 2015.

Getting Shit Done | Triple A
https://joyosmanski.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/getting-shit-done
Stuff i find interesting. Asian Adoptee. Actor. April 30, 2015. Even I admit this is odd. The building next door is undergoing intense renovation to convert it from a (I’m guessing) former factory/warehouse to (sure about this) multiple dwellings. The notice tacked up in our elevator warns that the first part of the process will be the noisiest. In parts of Britain, they’re referred to as “Kangos.” It’s a brand name, apparently, and isn’t it adorable? But back to productivity! There is a brief lull in th...

Wrestling | Triple A
https://joyosmanski.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/wrestling
Stuff i find interesting. Asian Adoptee. Actor. July 30, 2015. If you’ve never watched a bunch of kids in singlets and headgear wrestling each other on a mat then let me shed some light:. Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. You know those terrible, slo-mo sequences of the innocently grazing gazelle whose life is suddenly, terribly, in dire peril? It’s like that. Only with children. I watched as one kid was accidentally poked in the nose, and it was as if he’d been attacked by a gang of thugs. Then,...You are...

Mom and Me | Triple A
https://joyosmanski.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/mom-and-me
Stuff i find interesting. Asian Adoptee. Actor. May 11, 2015. When I was a kid, I thought a lot about my mom. Not as I knew her the woman who watched my ballet classes and made a lot of casseroles and got her Masters in Social Work and sewed my winter formal dress but who she was as a kid. When she was like me. My mom made a habit of answering my questions honestly, so I asked a lot of them. About her parents, Grandma and Grandpa, and what they were like. And out came my mom. Denial is an incredible shie...

https://joyosmanski.wordpress.com/page/2
Stuff i find interesting. Asian Adoptee. Actor. October 1, 2015. By the time I realized I hadn’t said anything, it was too late. He’d already made a number of stops, turns, blinker-on-off and I realized neither of us did the Hot today, huh? Or Busy downtown today or You live downtown? Of course, as soon as I realized, the air was cut with my own self-awareness and what then became a small, silent, sit-in. I was taken aback, befuddled, and not a little insulted. Really, dude? You’re gonna bow at me? So in...
