I don't really use this

BUT. I don't wanna do my apush hw, so I'm gonna post something....
Hm, I guess I can put up random pics from my trip.







I had some chocolate non-caffenated concoction of some sort in a Dunkin Donuts, after being drenched in the intermitten rain (sonagi) after coming out of the glasses store and taking a walk through Jagalchi. It was good. I was horrified at the price of the drink, however, even though it pretty much cost the same in the U.S., probably. I was just expecting the dirt-cheap prices that used to be there when I left Korea. Damn IMF and exchange rates, you screwed me over again!











The b-e-a-utiful island of Namhae, where I stayed at this really ugly but interesting sports hotel. My dad's friend owned a house here, so we went to a lot of restaurants, got a decent tour, and I got to see a seafood auction, even though the weather was bad. Also, I saw this art gallery place and we passed by places where, according to the taxi driver who drove us around, "Fantasy Couple", a popular Korean drama, was filmed.
















At the art gallery's gift shop, I found this lovely coconut piggy bank! It's the year of the pig, so a lot of pig-themed souveniers were being sold. I wanted to buy one- it wasn't even that expensive!- but I was afraid that it was gonna break between all the luggage, so I couldn't. I still can't let go. Piggy~









Finally, because I'm too damn lazy, this is a picture I took when I went to Koba BBQ (I think?) when I visited my cousin in Seoul. They were really pushing the tortillas on us. The tortilla wasn't big enough and it wasn't the best I've tasted, but it was good enough. The salsa was much like pickled radish from jjajangmyun-jib and added no heat. However, I found that the grilled beef, a spoon of the faux-salsa, and a piece of kimchi made the right combination! Yay~ The warm chewy tortilla and the crunchy spicy kimchi- who knew it would make such a great taste?

CYworld -_-

Cyworld sucks.

The message boards are loaded with stupid self-obsessive people who write mean stuff to attract other people's attention so that people will visit their hompy.

My password keeps getting screwed up. I tried to find my password through e-mail, but cy isn't sending it to me.

This entire month feels like a parade of technological errors.

BS.
BS, BC!!!!!!

SingShot Sucks.

So today, I stumbled on to this "very cool" website called SingShot, which is basically like karaoke combined with Soundclick. Apparently, it used to be a site where you had to pay. However, they released a new beta version so it's free as long as you register. As my karaoke obsession has not dwindled from Andrew singing "Move Along" non-stop on SingStar, of course I registered right away.

The site has a decent amount of songs. There's not many recent songs, of course, but most karaoke favorites are on there. It's actually not bad for a free site.

But oh. My. God! I know the website is beta testing- but it's so slow! And you pretty much encounter a server failure notice half the time you click on something. It's very frustrating.

Plus, sometimes my microphone is not in sync with the website. It's really annoying when my voice comes out 4 seconds too late. Despite the fact I've been on for hours, I have yet to record one song because of these errors.

It's been hailed as the YouTube of online karaokes, the next hot site.

In my opinion?

Not until they fix those bugs.

My Precious 5-day Weekend

Mwahahaha... Korea for Summer '07 plan is pretty much definite! I'm gonna be in Korea from o8*o8 til o8*28, I think.

This is how my precious 5-day Memorial Day Weekend went.
1. Practice
2. More practice
3. Practice, practice, practice!

And still, no sign of looking for that summer job.



But yesterday, we did buy a cake from Coldstone, so properly named "A Cheesecake Called Desire" (Eheh, cute name... except Tennessee Williams is not generally spoken of in my household, so no one laughed when I went "Stella... Stella!")






It had a really sweet plain vanilla cake with cheesecake flavoured ice cream, raspberry sauce, and raspberry cream. The raspberry was really good! The cake was frozen solid because the guy at the store bought it out in a hurry and it didn't melt at all during the 5 minute car ride in the nicely air-conditioned car. We sliced one piece 3 knives later, so we decided to let it melt. (I suggested it as soon as we opened the top, but whatever...)




So my mother kept one of the knives stuck in there, as a symbol for our futile attempts to fight against the forces of nature...
Andrew started digging in to the one piece we freed with a spoon and a fork in each hand. He used the fork to keep the cake down on the paper plate while he scooped with the spoon. Oh, my genius baby! But at the end he decided to eat using both. I took a video, of course. It'll be up on youtube later.


So today, after Daniel came back from the Memorial Day Parade, sweaty and hungry from the marching, we made personal pizzas with all the stuff we have around the house. The theme for my pizza today was "Yellow". I mixed the tomato sauce with a little bit of curry, used sweet potatoe underneath the cheese, and added yellow paprika and pineapples for topping. As I predicted, it was a little bit too sweet, but I ate 3/4 of it anyway. It did get really sickening in the end.


Hitting Tanger Mall tomorrow with my mom, unless the rain promised by so many weathermen happens to come tomorrow.
