Chingmy Yau and Shizuka Kudo Spotted Together With Their Daughters in Hong Kong

Chingmy Yau and her daughter Ayla Sham Yuet were recently at a gathering, where they appeared to be hosting Shizuka Kudo and her daughter, Mitsuki Kimura, better known as Kōki. Sham Yuet shared their photos with the caption, “So lovely to see our favorite mother and daughter in Hong Kong for dimsum We missed you both @kudo_shizuka @koki ”

It certainly drew attention as it’s rare to see two legendary beauties of the 1990s in the same frame. Many didn’t even know that Chingmy Yau, one of Hong Kong cinema’s screen goddesses, and Japanese singer-actress Shizuka Kudo, who was also hugely popular in her heyday and is married to THE Takuya Kimura, are actually friends in private. Both mothers, who were once top-tier icons of their generation, are just two years apart, 58 and 56 respectively this year. Even standing together now, the two have clearly aged gracefully, with their daughters inheriting their genes.

Ayla Sham Yuet is the eldest of Chingmy Yau’s three daughters with Hong Kong businessman Sham Kar Wai and is a well-known socialite, often dubbed the “most beautiful second-generation star.” Kōki, the younger of two daughters of Japanese power couple Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo, continues to build her career as a model, songwriter, and actress.

Happy birthday,

Sable peed in Beast's slipper.

I mean, on the one hand, the wee was neatly contained and in a washable place. Way better than on the carpet. On the other hand, ew! And phew, does cat urine stink.

The slipper was rinsed, washed in the machine, soaked, dried outside, washed again, dried outside again, and *seems* to be odour-free. I did suggest the option of new slippers, but we'll see.

*

In other, even odder news, I got THREE comments on AO3 yesterday, all for different stories. As my usual score is one kudos per day (I want to type kudo, but it doesn't look any righter), this was a charming surprise.

It was cold enough in the intermittent late sun that I should have worn gloves, but I walked out and photographed the flowering things of my neighborhood.

( I'll salt circle your brain if I have to. )

It was a delight to run into Elana Lev Friedland on North Street. We talked cosmic horror and capitalism until my hands stiffened up. I dove for the bag of bagels as soon as I got home and made myself one with cream cheese and lox, the latter eagerly shared by Hestia. She has taken to leaping onto the top of the washing machine at the slightest rustle that might suggest deli meats. I fell asleep in the evening, but

spatch cooked me scrambled eggs and afterward

rushthatspeaks and I talked over our days. I am fascinated by the blue-based earthtongue.

1. Back to work today, but since I knew the majority of my day would just be catching up on messages, I decided to work from home. Jasper was extra clingy so I'm glad I was able to snuggle with him so much. And I did get all caught up on email and teams!

2. The other day I saw a post on instagram about some viral loaded fries (the original was orange chicken but they've added a char siu version as well) and it just happens it's at a Chinese restaurant not that far from us. They have delivery, but the fries aren't on the online menu and by the time they got to us they'd be soggy anyway, so we decided to go there for lunch. Since it's gone viral, we decided an early lunch would be best, so we got there around 10:30 (they open at 10) and there was no one else there except someone picking up for delivery, which was good because they only have three tables. We got the char siu fries and they were even better than expected.

The fries are tossed in orange chicken sauce and then there's a bit of melted cheese and sriracha mayo under all that char siu pork. This is like a regular square takeout container but filled so full it would barely be able to close. We shared it and still only ate half. Would definitely get it again, and we want to try the orange chicken version as well.

3. The restaurant is in the same shopping center as a big Mexican market, so we did some shopping there since we usually don't get over there (now we have another reason to go) and got some stuff for carnitas tacos for dinner and those were also delicious.

4. We figured out who the mystery pee-er was, which I'm glad for, because now we know who to keep an eye on. It turns out it's Jasper, which was one of my top suspects. The reason we found out for sure is that I had to throw away all three of the warming beds when we got back because they'd all been peed in and while we'd washed one before, there had been too many recent pee incidents, I didn't want to leave any possibility of a smell. I ordered another one and that came today and not long after we put it down, he peed in it. D:

He is not having trouble using the box, so I don't think this is anything health related, just stress due to us being gone too long, and then I think he now has an association with those warming beds, so thankfully it's not cold weather right now, and when I do get some more for the winter, I'll try a different type and hope that it's been long enough and they're different enough that it doesn't trigger him.

He's such a needy baby, but he's always been a bit weird about Alex, so while he was okay around her in general, he didn't go to her for snuggles while we were gone like Ollie did (Ollie went all in on the snuggles with her; she was not prepared lol), so I think that's what caused him to act out. Hopefully now that we're home and all problem spots have been eliminated, we won't have any more issues.

5. Chloe was checking out the new cat tree.

So as I mentioned my majors (the pre professional crew, not my nurses) BEGGED me to move the exam today because they weren't ready. Well the two who would have had an A last week got them. The other five scored so badly they should explain to me how they could do this badly on cardiovascular, literally the easiest thing we do this semester. This is a year where I could easily pass just two students. There really isn't an excuse for this but this is also what happens when several of them are part time students at best between choices they make and the sports they play. My empathy is running dry here.

At least there was water aerobics and I love that. I've decided even if we don't pay for this in fall I will do this on my own. Hell I will lead our little group if need be. We can trade off. This is good for us.

Today my hard copy of the last anthology I'm in arrived unexpectedly today. I'm thrilled Myths Reborn: Modern Tales of Cryptids & Dark Folklore check it out. I love the cover

Called the Cleveland Clinic because they're blowing up my phone to get my gastric paresis appointment. I get them and they go oh...you're still in the entrance process. We're not ready to give you an appointment. So why the fuck won't you stop texting me?!? They'll call me when it's time to make an appointment.

Read Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamed, a graphic novel in translation from Arabic, set in a world where wishes are real, and regulated, commodities, but most people can only afford sketchy third-class wishes; in Cairo, Egypt, a small neighborhood kiosk with three genuine, first-class wishes for sale changes three lives - a recent widow barely scraping by; a wealthy student struggling with depression; and the kiosk's owner - for better or worse. Clever world-building, with interludes between the three volumes/chapters(?) in the form of world-building infographics and an eye to the way inequality could/would still exist in a world where, theoretically, anyone could wish themselves rich, to solve world hunger or for world peace, etc. (The short answer is who has access to wishes as a resource, on both an individual level and, e.g., which countries have the raw resources vs. the corporate headquarters, a la the history of extractive colonialism.)

Read Hooked by Asako Yuzuki, a contemporary Japanese novel about a budding friendship between two socially isolated thirty-year-old women - an office worker and a homemaker blogger - that quickly grows toxic; picked this up at

osprey_archer's recommendation. From the description, it seems like the plot should be "Misery, but about a parasocial relationship with a social media personality," and might have been more satisfying if it was, but actually I found it most interesting when the two women's storylines ran in parallel, exploring themes of, like... to what extent is any given interaction with someone else a matter of performing the version of yourself that they expect...? And, like, the extent to which other people can have such different worldviews - not even in a political or religious sense, but just, a way of approaching things - that when trying to interact they both just end up baffled. (Speaking of which, I did find the recurring, and perhaps overall, theme of Gendered Expectations in Friendships utterly baffling myself— I think it is to some extent reflective of a cultural difference, but I have definitely encountered the American version of this online in terms of, like, she's a girl's girl! or POV your boyfriend's pick-me girl friend and it always makes me feel like a space alien.) ANYWAY. Shades of Ottessa Moshfegh and Halle Butler, which is to say I found this deeply off-putting but couldn't put it down. ( ... )

It is officially LIBRARY USED BOOK SALE SEASON; I acquired a box set of Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising series from the one I went to last weekend, so I guess I will finally get around to reading that. As 2025 was the Year of Twelfth Night, 2026 really is shaking out to be the Year of As You Like It, because I also stumbled across and acquired a copy of Rosalind: Shakespeare's Immortal Heroine by Angela Thirlwell, a self-described "biography" of the character through interviews with actors, directors, etc.

This is the first part of my book club notes on This All Come Back Now, an anthology of speculative fiction by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors. I was glad to see that the introduction included the editor's thoughts about each piece (something that has been lacking in some of the anthologies we've read). The editor says that Aboriginal authors of SF have have historically had more success publishing their work as literary fiction than in SF outlets, suggesting a disconnect between white and Indigenous understandings of what "speculative" looks like. They point out, for example, that a time travel story may look very different through a cultural lens that doesn't see time as entirely linear in the first place.

The editor also says that they solicited several stories for the collection from writers who had never written SF before. Perhaps it is unfair that my reaction was to brace myself; I'll strive to be open minded. (It was also pointed out in the discussion that the Indigenous population of Australia is pretty small, so the pool of potential authors may not have been as deep as the editor might have wished.)

Some group members were not thrilled to learn that the book includes some excerpts from novels. We've run into this before and it tends to frustrate our purpose as a discussion group because we end up having the same conversation over and over, which is just "this didn't feel complete... because it isn't complete." The first three pieces we read are actual short stories, though!

"Muyum, a Transgression" by Evelyn Araluen (2017)

( A ghost travels the ruins of the world, finding that what seemed dead can come back. )

"Clatter Tongue" by K.A. Ren Wyld (2020)

[Note: The book lists this story under the author's former name Karen Wyld.]

( A grieving girl literally vomits the detritus of colonization when she is threatened. )

"Closing Time" by Samuel Wagan Watson (2020)

( In the early days of covid, a man wanders aimlessly. )

This morning I made hotel reservations in Berlin, to my enormous relief.

I remember the bad old days when it was much more difficult to find a hotel online. The haunting memory of ... panic. The phrase 'on tenterhooks' fits, oh yes.

Of course I'm crossing my fingers that the fuel situation won't make me cancel my vacatoin altogether. j-wat said to make the reservations, buy travel insurance to cover the hotel costs, and leave it to the airline to deal with flight reimbursement. The 'worst' case would be that I'd get an e-voucher for later travel.

A dog may be man's best friend, but a cat is humanity's poetry.

Graceful like a moonlit waterfall and clever like an ancient sage, a cat's skillset is as diverse as it is mystifying. Born to be predators, but happy to lounge on the cushions of a sunlit chair, house cats are equally magical as their wild predecessors but have meowplified their mystique through centuries of human meownipulations. They love us dearly and know for certain that humanity was born to live, laugh, and love alongside them.

In short, cats have us wrapped around their little toe beans, and everyone likes it that way.

There are still open spots on our Earth Day seed bombing teams, with sign-up sheets posted at the Buried Gardens. Volunteers with the Gardens have already created a hoard of soil bombs using seeds collected here in Lewisia, like false teapot root, pendulum tree, and nanny nasturtium, which will be distributed to the teams for surreptitious deployment in areas beyond our town. In many areas where natural sources of weirdness have dried up, these plants have dwindled, but we hope to help reestablish strong populations that can support other weird species in the future.

It includes what looks like a tea leaf emoji? Whatever sort of leaf this is, it’s not marijuana, even I know that. Maybe no emoji at all would’ve been the better call….
