and judged it to be for the interest of the present and the future generations
that they should be made aquainted with her thoughts.
:P
oh, just a reminder for all y'all, my humour is very sarcastic, so don't take any of this very seriously or you'll think i'm the biggest bitch/crazy person ever! (ok...so i am a LITTLE crazy and bitchy!) :P

hello again everyone. here're some pictures of halloween here in good old pusan, and also some of lindsays bday outing. in my costumes defence...it was two nights before halloween and i still didn't have any costume ideas. i was watching tv and tomb raider was on...it's a pretty easy cosutme to get together so i figured "what the heck?" and don't worry, the guns weren't loaded!! :) lindsay's bday was this past weekend. it was a great day. we went out and had all you can eat brunch at the merriot hotel....and did we ever show them the meaning of all you can eat! i must have had at least 4 plates. it was all typical western style breakfast. it was great...omlettes, home fries, pancakes, bacon, sausage, lots of fruit...wonderful!then we relaxed on the beach for ... read more

ok, so here's the down low on the night life in pusan it's very similar to back home....sometimes a little dirty, sometimes a little smokey, and there's always dancing and drinking to be had. there are some slight differences however....first of all, let me introduce the "squatter" or in other words a hole in the floor instead of a toilet (please see attached picture, courtesy of my sister lindsay). next...the bars are open for as long as you want them to be, which is great, but makes for some very VERY late nights and the last that i will mention...the men. i swear there must be something in the water that makes the men here impervious to rejection....they just keep coming back for more and more! it's really starting to get ridiculous. hmmm, where shall i ... read more

seoul was great. it's probably a good thing that i don't live there though....i'd dress great! but i'd live in a box in an alley somewhere. soooo expensive! anyway, while we were there we visited a palace and a folk villiage, complete with buddhist temple, and of course we checked out the night life. i posted some of the more picturesque pictures, enjoy ... read more

snoopy is loved so much in korea that a brand new language was created to commemorate him... (ATTORNEY In his bowtie and bowtie hot no case is too sitiy or very winnobie for Snoopy the Ahorncy) chicken, beef, or dog?... when dogs are not being eaten, they are being dyed like easter eggs... yes, i can explain... The story of carrie and the giant penis: now generally i don't join in with the crowd to harass and humiliate those who sadly "stick out" more than others. so i want you all to know that i am ashamed of my appalling behaviour toward the giant penis. i laughed and pointed, and even made lewd gestures (as evidenced in that scandalous picture), in total disregard for the giant penis's feelings or emotional well being. if ever we meet ... read more

please sir, may i have some more?......beans.....in my icecream? NO, NO, NO, not in the icecream!.....oh,oh thank god...it was only a dream! but wait.....it wasn't a dream, it's all coming back to me!!!!.................now here's an equation for you scholarly types: take a regular serving of vanilla ice cream, add 1/4 cup jujubes, then 1oz. of cherry syrup and a sprinkling of conflakes. now, add some beans! what do you get, what DO you get? (hint: not a tasty treat!). yes, it's true people. the holy sanctity of icecream has been bastardized. here's the whole sordid story: i was walking down the street one day, totally minding my own business when i thought to myself 'wouldn't some icecream be great right now?' so, i popped into the nearest corner store and perused the frozen treat selection. ... read more

...note to self: don\'t eat the stinky ones ok, so this one time when i was a kid i had a traumatic experience involving mothballs. i was at my aunts house and i saw a round, white peppermint. now i sure do love mints, so with no further thought i popped the \'mint\' into my mouth. thanks for nothing mr. olefactory! much to my surprise instead of minty freshness i met with an awful napthalene surprise! yes...it was a mothball. needless to say i spit it out, and to make a long story short i seriously thought i was going to die for the whole 2 hour ride home. so, what is the point of this rivetting story, you may ask? here it is....there are mothballs everywhere! i smell them on the subway, in stores, ... read more

..i'm not really gonna kill anybody, but it's fun to pretend, right?....right?! WARNING: the following contains material of extreme sarcastic nature. some readers may not share this sense of humour! WARNING: don't put mothballs in your mouth! :) Ok folks, I have finally found my muse. Something to inspire the expression of self in the timeless art of the written word. I won't sugar my words for my own literary gratification or for the sake of ratings for the inevitable tv movie 'Teacha say time to die.' I will simply say that THESE KIDS ARE BRATS! oh wow, that felt good. now, i'm not generally a violent person...well, towards children at least! :P but if you don't see me in 25 to life, you know why. if anything, violently throttling Xylitol (yes, his english name ... read more
