My final appointment at the dentist for the freaking dental implant is TOMORROW — at 8:30 in the morning. I am so tired. I went to Asian Comedy Fest yesterday to see Youngmi Mayer. I saw Chewy May there and we caught up — we performed together back in May 2021 and connected on our shared experiences with cancer. On Saturday and Sunday, I'm going to the Asian Creative Festival to get inspired, connect with other artists, and finally meet my friend and filmmaker Zach Han. He is debuting his short film, Piano Practice, at the Asian Creative Festival, and we will be meeting for the first time, after connecting over Instagram last July. We connected over cancer when 아빠's health was declining rapidly, and we've been friends ever since. Please pray that I somehow find the energy to make it through the rest of this week and weekend. I hate how chaotic May feels.
