the grace lee project
so i missed this film in this year's film fest (and i even had tix!...oh well, missing a film seems to be de rigueur for me).

but it's a pretty hilarious concept -- a mix of how our names define us (or not), and how people conceptualize people (specifically my people?). thing is, i kinda had the opposite name thing -- i wasn't a kim, lee, or park, and damn if my name wasn't the weirdest one in the name book (no, it's not short for elizabeth, no it's not alyssa). but somewhere along the way, i stopped wanting to be mary lemon (the incongruous, but most normal sounding name i'd ever heard, remarkably for an asian kid in my grade school), and kinda got attached to my pain-in-the-ass name. even when i got hitched, and could've ditched the ridicule and nonsensical rhyming factor, i found that i had no desire to leave my name behind.

...hopefully i'll catch the film some other time (hear that judy?)
