I’m all for funky and cool things, but $45 for this bag?  I can pick up a similar bag in Korea for $5, minus the leather-like vinyl bottom and trendy designs.  Come to think of it, the last one I picked up had a Superman emblem on it.  That being said, these bags are actually [...]

For awhile, I’ve noticed the photos I’ve uploaded in Flickr were faded and washed out, even though they looked fine on my computer.  I had some time and finally went looking for an answer.  Simply put, Flickr strips the color profile of the picture, resulting in the dull photos.  You can read more about it [...]

This link is for Reardon, who was curious about the signals one would give in order to initiate bathroom sex, as Larry Craig did.  Listen here.

Very random today: The Daily Kimchi says these 12,000 won waffles in the Gwanghwamun area are out of this world. I haven’t made it to that area much, but the next time I’m at Kyobo Bookstore, I want to drop by. I’m listening to Eric Hutchinson. I may be going to The Jarasum International Jazz [...]

I got tagged by Women Trip and normally I don’t do these little questionaire, but this one seemed quick. 8 random things about me (from this last week): I watched “Say Anything” with John Cusack.  Thought it was totally overrated.  I can’t find “Talladega Nights” to return to Blockbuster. I have two, 3 hour root [...]

Whoa, Milan has a lot of pickpockets.  Watch the video and see how many “scatter” when the police come. I’ve never been pickpocketed in Asia, but from personal experience, watch out for the subways in Athens.  There wasn’t anything in my pocket, but the kid had the audacity to attempt stealing something from the velcro [...]

Happy birthday America! It’s supposed to be 90 degrees (32 celsius), sunny, and not a cloud in the sky – perfect for all the picnics and barbecues going on today. I’m not sure of my plans for today, but I think it involves some housework. Hopefully I can get out tonight to see a firework [...]

I wanted to inform people about a service by the United States Post Office that most people don’t know about.  It’s a very cheap way for people in the United States to send books or magazines internationally.  There is no longer an 11 pound minimum to send a package, but you’ll still get charged for [...]
