  • Delays

    I went to Boston this weekend for a wedding and while I broke my expensive tripod head, the rest of the weekend went off pretty well, even though I was totally beat by the end of the weekend. Some interesting things that…

  • Grapes

    This weekend, I attended a send-off party for a friend of mine who was moving up to Berkeley to go back to school. It started a picnic in the park, to which I arrived late and we ended up progressing to one of her friend…

  • Lips

    I've noticed recently that I'm uncomfortable watching kissing scenes in movies and television. I think there's a part of me that thinks that I shouldn't be privy to such acts. And then I realized it: Kissing can be inten…

  • Thoughts from a Corean Keyboard

    Honestly, I think it's been really good to spend some time with my father. It's really helped to soften the hard edge I'd developed towards him and while I'm still concerned, it allows me to be more realistic in my conce…

  • Ambiguous Ethnicity

    I met a girl from South Corea recently who was in the States studying English. When my friend, who introduced us, informed her that I was Corean, she shook her head "no", apparently a little shy with speaking English. I …

  • 33x29

    One thing I find very strange with the apparel market in the United States is that while I can find a variety of waist sizes for trousers, inseam sizes always seem to be sold in two size increments. Right now, I'm a size…
