Commercials I'm Loving Right Now...and One I'm Not

I'm currently loving the new Cass Light, Kia Soul, and Demi Soda commercials. I wish I had the software to view phone vids on the computer... Six pack, six pack... :)) If I figure out how to do it, I'll definitely post them!

I must saw, though, that I am NOT a fan of the new "yellow dress dancing" loan commercial. The original was so much better. The girl group who is doing is now can't dance! And I so won't be buying their CD after seeing this performance...

Unnamed Spanish Movie... Cuz' a Spanish Title Written in Korean is a Bit Hard to Decipher...

Watching a Spanish movie with Korean subtitles is an experience that's truly hard to explain. My Spanish needs to improve dramatically to make this work well...

Lazy weekend...

Lazy weekend at home. Get to hang out with the dog. Maybe then he won't hate me so much when I leave him to go on vacation next weekend...

I Have Food Issues

I just got squirted in the face by a rogue fudge pop. It was pretty funny. Would've been better with an audience and a laugh track, though.

GRE Prep and Choosing my Grad Schools

I started studying last week for the GRE, and narrowing down which schools I intend to apply to for grad school. The test is offered at the university near my house on October 23rd. In Korea, it’s the same test as everywhere else in the world, but here I only take part of it on the computer. The Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT) format will be taken prior to the 23rd, at any time, and on that date I will sit down for the rest of it, in paper test form. I must take the GRE for entrance into any of the programs in International Relations or Political Science. Boo. It’s like studying for the SAT, except this time I actually care about my score.

Good Day, and FREE Cooking Lessons!

Great day at acupuncture, perfect timing meeting Jaz on the subway platform, great showing and the J One Gallery for Jason Jenkins' new show, delicious Maya, noraebanging, and an offer for FREE Indian cooking lessons from my favorite Nepali restauranteur. Great day.

Random Downtown Scenes

A walk downtown always reveals new and interesting things. These are giant paint brushes. I don't know what one would use them for.


Men's fashion in Korea has grown on me. Men just couldn't get away with this at home.


This is a new clothing store's facade. Odd, but endearing.

Lemon, the Pet Goldfish

One of my kids wrote a story about a pet goldfish named Lemon. The last line was "I love my pet Lemon." I had to laugh. Made me think of pet rocks.

(It always makes a sour face :))

Bad Ankle

Doc said to stay off my foot for a while. Don't think that will fly at work, but maybe a bit more sitting will be allowed. Did some PT, which is much kinder than the US version. Again tomorrow for round 2. Meanwhile, I have a date with Harry Potter, and some NCIS.

"Hive"...Coming to a Recycle Bin Near You

"We don't negotiate with ants" might just be the dumbest thing ever uttered in a movie. If I were that actor, I'd be pissed. Luckily, no one will notice, as the movie's so horrible, no one but me will ever see it. (The price I pay for only having 3 English channels...)

***
I was told that that is a line in the Disney/PIXAR flick "A Bug's Life." However, in "A Bug's Life" it was said BY A BUG. In that context, it makes sense. In "Hive" a governor was fighting with intelligent, otherworldly ants trying to kill him. I think that's a little different.
