About

This is my website, and I am Giang. I’m 30. I live in Southern California, and write for a living. I hold a BA in Anthropology (yeah, WTH, right?). I like computers, reading, old movies, and photography.

I have been married to a red-head named Curt for two years. His chief duties are to rub my feet, give me toys and take out the trash; mine are to vacuum and defend the cats from him. It is a good life.

Cats: we have three, two girls and one boy. One is George, who is black and whines. One is Monkey, who is brown, striped, and chitters. The third is Blinky (or Boy), who wakes me up at 6 AM every day to play fetch.

Other stuff I like

Books
I love mysteries. I like the Falco series by Lindsey Davis, the Agatha Raisin series by MC Beaton, and the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. I’m also a big fan of Stephen King. Favorite books are Nabokov’s Lolita, Thurber’s My Life and Hard Times, Austen’s Persuasion, and Stoker’s Dracula.

Movies and Actors
I like movies where people are trapped in something, preferably buildings or airplanes. Also a fan of zombie movies, horror movies, and old black and whites. I’m fond of Laurel and Hardy, Cary Grant, Teresa Wright, and Dana Andrews. I drool over Patrick Dempsey, Aaron Eckhart, and the late Paul Newman. Some of my favorite films are The Last Starfighter (1984), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), and Back to the Future (1985).

Television
I watch “Coronation Street”, “Mad Men”, “Desperate Housewives” and old reruns of “Frasier”, “I Love Lucy” and “Three’s Company”.

Sports
I am a Dodgers fan. Other sports: not so much.

Music
I like all different kinds – rock, classical, opera, anime (j-pop type), jazz (the standard stuff, not the Coltrane-esque stuff, which I don’t get). Generally, my taste is very popular. Favorite bands are Queen (I love Freddy Mercury), Keane, Aerosmith, and Def Leppard.

Politics
Increasingly Disgruntled, though probably I am politically what they call crazy.

Religion
I doubt the existence of God, but wouldn’t it be nice?
