Michelle Wie Turns Pro and Other News I've Missed

Melissa Hung - October 7, 2005

I missed Michelle Wie turning pro. [1] I missed the Filipino American accused of spying for the Philippines. [2] (Oh damn, spying again? So not good for the rest of us and combating “perpetual foreigner” image.) I missed the Harriet Miers Supreme Court nomination (why don’t the headlines just say “Bush nominates one of his bestest friends” ?)

I missed Hyphen’s inclusion in the San Francisco Literary Map [3] put together by 826 Valencia. (How cool is that?!). I even missed the Alias season premiere.

I did crack the paper open long enough today to see that Bush said God told him to invade Iraq. [4] At first I thought I was reading an Onion [5] headline.

Here’s something not to miss: Our very own literature editor Barbara Jane Reyes is reading tomorrow night [6] at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts [7] along with Tony Robles and some other Filipino American poets.

And thanks to everyone who didn’t miss our Issue 7 Release Party last week. Wow, what a great turnout. We raised enough money to pay for approximately a third of the next print run. Thanks for the support!

Right now I'm missing my bed. Can't wait to go to sleep tonight....
