A WORD
FROM THE EDITOR
By Michael Kwan
April 19, 2006
If you're wondering why Now That's Entertainment hasn't received an update for over three months, it's because it is now officially done. No more. Finito. But that doesn't mean that there will be a lack of writing from me. Quite the contrary, actually.
MichaelKwan.com has officially launched, and there are samples of my writing there for your perusal, as well as a complete linked archive of the work I've done for Mobile Magazine, Love To Know, The Commentary, and elsewhere, but more notable is the new blog: BEYOND THE RHETORIC.
Beyond the Rhetoric can be found at MichaelKwan.com and will be updated on a daily or near daily basis. The topics will be much the same scope as Now That's Entertainment, but will also expand into other areas, with shorter entries intermingled among the longer articles. I'm not going to blabber on here any further, as I do that enough over at the new site.
What are you waiting for? Head on over to MichaelKwan.com and check it out.

"Make me laugh and maybe I'll do you"
A little while back,
a old high school friend of mine told me about an article in the October
31st edition of Maclean’s. In it, it states:
In a recent studies, men and women are in complete agreement that, when
it comes to choosing a romantic partner, a
good sense of humour is crucial. The twist
is in how the
two genders define this quality.
According to a new McMaster University study, a typical woman believes
a good sense of humour is the ability to "generate" high-quality
humour (i.e. to make her laugh). Conversely, the average man .

This time around, we get the stories of Class Valedictorian Erin Ritchie as she pursues her career in elementary education, and Hardeep Chot as she finds herself in a new home and with a new addition to the family. Also, as a special bonus, May Chan, who recently graduated from UBC with her Music degree, treats us to her orchestrated rendition of Someone to Watch
Over Me, recorded live at the University of British Columbia.
