The Sitcom Star
The Sitcom Star | Jackie Lau
1 post | 1 reading
Adrian Ma hasn’t seen his childhood crush in years—until she appears on his TV screen. Maddie Ng, the co-creator and star of Chu’s Restaurant, clearly has a different life from Adrian, an easygoing web developer who spends his free time hanging out with friends, babysitting his nephew, and eating fried chicken. Sure, it might not be Hollywood, but Maddie’s gorgeous face appears in ads for Canada’s hit sitcom all over Toronto. He doesn’t expect to see her in real life. He certainly doesn’t expect to spill bubble tea all over her. Their chance encounter leads to him teaching an overworked Maddie how to relax, and to his surprise, the attraction isn’t one-sided. Yet as things heat up between them, Adrian wonders how long this can last. He wants to be the man who loves and supports her behind the scenes, but he’s not sure that’s possible. After all, she’s Maddie Ng, the sitcom star, and he’s just a regular guy.

The Sitcom Star | Jackie Lau

Today I walked 16.75 km around Versailles, with occasional stops to read bits of THE SITCOM STAR. It‘s cute, and I continue to loooooove how Jackie Lau doesn‘t Americanize her work in the slightest. Y‘all will appreciate that my tolerance for Americanization is currently at an all-time low, which is saying something.

My sandwich was great, too. Honestly, the bread from my cheap grocery store is better, but the filling was SO TASTY.

tpixie Looks delicious! Great you are taking the time to sit and relax and absorb! I just got off the phone talking to my son how I‘d love to go to Paris for a month so I would have time to see the things I still want to see there but also time just to sit and relax and absorb the vibe. He‘s trying to learn Spanish, and trying to figure out a way to be able to spend more time in Latin America learning the language and dancing. 20h
xicanti @tpixie you should TOTALLY do a month here! There‘s so much to absorb even when you‘re not actively doing stuff. I see people reading (and smoking, and chatting with their friends) every time I pass through the Tuileries—though, to be honest, I still haven‘t had a really long public sit-and-read myself. I‘ve kinda destroyed my feet over the last three days, though, so it‘s probably coming. 20h
tpixie @xicanti those uneven sidewalks and streets are very hard to walk on!!! 16h
xicanti @tpixie I have flexible-soled shoes that were specially designed for long walks, but clearly the designers didn‘t factor European cobbles and rocky paths into things. Sigh. 9h
