Genuine Night Fury Of A Woman

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

Daveigh Chase, who voiced Lilo in Disney’s original animated movie “Lilo & Stitch” and terrified audiences as Samara Morgan in “The Ring,” died Tuesday, according to TMZ. She was 35.

Chase’s boyfriend told TMZ, which broke the news of her death, that she died from meningitis and an infection in her blood after being hospitalized in Los Angeles for malnutrition earlier this month.

Chase got her big break by voicing Lilo Pelekai, the young Hawaiian protagonist in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch,” in 2002. For her role, she won an Annie Award for outstanding voice acting in an animated feature production and went on to lend her voice to in several spinoffs, like “Stitch! The Movie” (2003), “Leroy & Stitch” (2006) and Disney Channel’s “Lilo & Stitch: The Series.”

She also voiced the lead character Chihiro Ogino in the English-dubbed version of Hayao Miyazaki’s hit Japanese animated movie “Spirited Away.”

In live-action, Chase had a terrifying turn as Samara Morgan, the creepy little girl who created the cursed video tape in the 2002 horror movie “The Ring.” Samara was also played by Kelly Stables and contortionist Bonnie Morgan, who famously climbed out of a TV in one of the most iconic scenes of the horror genre. Chase’s performance was also used as archival footage in the 2005 sequel “The Ring Two” and 2017’s “Rings.”

Moon Joy June artists!  The prompt for this week is “Crew.” Coincidentally, we announced the Artemis III crew last week! These four astronauts will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit. While Artemis III will not land on the Moon, this mission will test the complex capabilities we need to return humanity there — this time to stay.

Meet the Artemis III crew:

Commander Randy Bresnik was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 2004. Bresnik completed his first spaceflight on STS-129 in 2009 — this was the 31st shuttle flight to the International Space Station. In 2017, Bresnik served as Flight Engineer aboard the Soyuz 51S and Expedition 52 as well as Commander of the International Space Station for Expedition 53.

Pilot Luca Parmitano was selected as a European Space Agency astronaut in May 2009. In 2011, he served as a flight engineer to Italian space agency ASI's first long-duration mission on the International Space Station. He was also the third European and first Italian to command the space station during Expedition 61, which began in 2019 and ended in 2020.

Mission specialist Andre Douglas was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 2021. Upon selection, Douglas was a senior professional staff member at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab working on maritime robotics, planetary defense, and space exploration missions. He served as a backup crew member for NASA’s Artemis II mission. Artemis III will be Douglas’ first spaceflight.

Mission specialist Frank Rubio was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 2017. He lived and worked aboard the International Space Station between 2022 and 2023, breaking the record for the longest single duration spaceflight by a U.S. astronaut with a mission duration of 371 days. Dr. Rubio is a board-certified family physician and flight surgeon.
