Lee - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[How To Game Stephen Colbert, By Jennifer 8. Lee]]> I thought she did all right with Colbert, she probably should have relaxed a little more, she did seem a bit: "sitting up straight I'm on TV" kinda tense. Her name always stood out and I always thought her writing was very good. I learned about the number 8 good lore story from an article about her, follow up on the NY Times getting queries on her middle name.
She's over 30. A couple of years back she had a series of 30th bday parties in a couple of cities, I think: NYC, DC and Boston--each in the local Chinatown. I think the invite with was posted here on Gawker as an item.

Frankly, I'm a little underwhelmed. Although I think I may start going by "Lee friend 'Alexis.'"

Also - she recommended a restaurant in Richmond as the best Chinese food outside of China. The restaurant is going bankrupt so hopefully it'll give them a boost.
@belltolls: Rent a car and come on up! It's only a 2 hour drive.

S.C. is funny as hell, as is J.S.
Show some respect, Funyuns rock, especially when you look through each one and declare which of your girlfriends diaphrams resemble the one you are going to eat next....LOL
Girls can be so mean.

What toy do you speak of, Jennifer?

This alarming new "trend" in geoelitist webcasting can suck a dick. I haz an irked.

Now as a white guy, I'd have been lucky if I had remembered to write down the address for the studio.

]]> <![CDATA[How To Game Stephen Colbert, By Jennifer 8. Lee]]> Okay, I don't want to sound like a smartypants, but I am, and I have had to flog a book on a couple of shows back in the day, and I give this a C+. Either the book isn't interesting or she didn't use her airtime well. His job is to be funny and Colberty and her job is to give that little sparky thing that is special about her book. She was great setting him up but lousy for herself. She should have been a Chinese Margaret Cho or had one concise para about the book that she slammed in between his jokes. It was like bad American-Chinese food. It looked the same and kinda all ran together.
