For those keeping score at home, this is the lesson I was privy to as I snapped the photos you guys saw posted previously. Like this one: Jenny laughs. Ahhh, good times, good times. It was an honor being in the studio during this recording. It was remarkable to see how practiced and easy it is for Ken and Jenny at this point. It's like watching the linguistic equivalent of paired figure skaters. :-)

lujiaojie -- Thank you very much! It was very nice meeting you during my last visit to ChinesePod. I understand that the 付 is something of a transliteration of my name, Fradella, but I was curious as to why you chose that particular iteration of the sound. There are a lot of "fu's" out there! 哈哈! Anyway, thank you very much. I think it's a fine name and it seems easy enough to write. Thanks for your thoughtfulness!

Thank you, much, sir! I'm really bowled over by the response to the photos. I've never been so happy in a purchase as I've been with that camera. (And I assure you, it's the camera, not the photographer.)

So far I'm leaning heavily toward 付强 (Fù Qiáng), but I still can't figure out where that 付 is coming from! Thank Jiaojie for me, please!

All right, Blue Steel... now that you've had a chance to meet me and hang out with me, what do you think would be a good Chinese name for me? Hit me with your best shot! I warn you, though, I have nearly hated every attempt to just give me a transliteration of my name. Okay? GO! :-D

Guys, I have to say that I've been truly blown away by all the kind words and comments, both here and in the other thread. Thank you so much! There is more news to share on the movie front, but I'm afraid it'll have to wait a bit. Patience! :-)

artkho -- Remember the 12% fee? How could I ever forget? And we writers need to stick together! Down with The Man! lunetta -- The things that I cannot do are legion! LOL But I do thank you for the (too) kind words. As for the red carpet, I'm afraid I'm going to have to install one of those deli number dispensers. I'm suddenly getting a lot of similar offers. :-P sebire -- The smooth talk keeps me out of Turkish prisons and hip deep in Pop Tarts. I'll keep you posted on the film. I owe you an e-mail, dear. antoniov -- Hello to you, sir! Hope you enjoyed the show!

artkho, you stay out of this! LOL This is how middle-aged, overweight, balding men get their hot chicks! Don't buck the system!
