Her Cantonese is still very bad but she recently managed to discourage a cellphone stalker from calling back by telling him: "Gingchaak wuih jouh yeh ge la!" ("The police will do something!") and was pretty psyched about that. When not grading papers or traveling, Samantha writes on art and culture for two Hong Kong newspapers and American magazines (NY Arts, The Blow-Up, The Fader), and is also working on a short film set in the future.

Schi's injuries have accrued playing rugby, golf, tennis, sailing, hockey, football (both American style and as the rest of the world refuses to call it, soccer). He's even been stabbed with a dart. Schi's currently the Sports Guy on the Blog portion of Fanzine, which he does for free, because, "damn it," he cares...
