A Tech Geek's Ultimate Sacrifice

So last night, I decided that I should return my beloved HTC Evo 4G for a cheaper alternative. It seemed illogical to enter a 2-year contract with Sprint that I'd have to pay to terminate within a couple of months. Plus, it's not very smart to invest so much money in a phone with mounting international moving costs looming on the horizon. I could consider suspending my account when the time comes, but that possibility alone still doesn't outweigh the cons. continued...

Coffee in Seoul - Day 5

Despite the totally bizarre circumstances under which I was able to extend my stay in Seoul, I had a fantastic weekend!
(...and that's all I'll say about that) ;P
Friday, after settling into my new digs, I enjoyed some hardcore R&R. I don't think I was even aware of how exhausted I was. I curled up in my bed and ZONKED.
I woke up completely disoriented and unusually agitated about being in the hotel room.

Coffee in Seoul - Day 2

Tuesday was a pretty relaxed day. There was no additional rehearsal necessary, but I did need to go for a mini test-shoot.
First, I had lunch with my friend (no longer rent-a-friend) Mike, the guy who translated for me during my Star King trip. It was very nice to catch up with him. Then, it was off to the production company.

Coffee in Seoul - Day 1

Well, this is my first morning in Seoul. I arrived last evening to the muggiest heat I've experienced all year. Seoul is definitely making up for all the summertime I've missed out on in San Francisco. My contacts from the agency (Miss & Mister from now on) are both very nice and I felt instantly comfortable with them. We had a big dinner (samgyeopsal, of course) - unfortunately, my eyes were much bigger than my tummy and I didn't eat as much as I wanted. The jet lag hit me like a brick.

I Can Feel It Coming...

My horoscope for today (via Susan Miller...the only Astrology site at which I don't completely scoff) read as follows:


"July 23 - The prospect of a different kind of career will have you on edge. Even though the end result will bring you a renewed focus, the journey will appear uncertain...

Sorry, Sori...




What the hell? I'm sorry (not really), but I have to just say it -- Sori be WACK. I remember seeing her "b-boy" promo vid a while back, and I still didn't understand the hype. A couple of b-boy-like poses and gymnastics stunts a true b-boy doth not make. I'm not even fully convinced she can really dance. continued...

I ♥ Vogue Nippon

So, I'm enjoying a strawberry flavored Yoplait Whips! snack, sifting through my favorite fashion blogs, and I see this amazing editorial for Vogue Nippon May 2010, featuring model Alla Kostromicheva and photographer Solve Sundsbo. I'm completely entranced by these images...particularly this one: continued...
