Let us Feast!!!
Today marks my fourth birthday in Korea. Wow. Time flies. Well, since my birthday is normally celebrated around the globe (the globe in my mind), I hope everyone has a better than usual Tuesday.
Thanks to my kind and generous coworkers and boss I was bestowed with gifts of wine and cherries. A three pound box of dark sweet cherries. With gifts that luxurious, I think I'll spend the day lying in a reclined position drinking wine from a goblet while a wench feeds me cherries and a leg of mutton. How kingly I shall be.
I made a surprising discovery recently. My grandmother also has a birthday in July and she just turned 83 (Go Nans!). My birthday is today and I've turned 26 (Go me!). The interesting thing is that I was born in 1983 and she was born in 1926. Coincidence? Omen? Glitch in the Matrix? You be the judge.
Fun fact about my grandmother: She one stabbed a pirate in the neck because he stood in front of the TV when her soaps were on. Just saying. Don't mess with her.

Perspiration Nation
One thing I can't understand about Seoul is the abundance of saunas. They are all over the place. There's one in the building where I work, on the same floor, and another in the basement too.
What boggles me is not that people want to cleanse their systems with a little spa visit, it's that the summer weather is already insanely humid and hot. You can get your sweat on anywhere, so I don't see the point in going to a sauna. I've seen people sweating profusely on their way to the sauna, so I can't figure out the point. Is sweating more enjoyable when you have to pay for it?
It makes about as much sense as being in Canada in the winter and then paying to hang out in a giant freezer.

Deaf Jam
I was on the bus a few days ago listening to my ipod when suddenly the music I was listening to changed to something I'd never heard before. It took me a few minutes to realize that the new music I was hearing was coming from the gentleman sitting next to me. He was also listening to an MP3 player with headphones.
That's astonishing! How can sound being fed directly into my ears be overpowered by sound coming from speakers plugged into another person's ears? This must mean that either I've developed superhuman hearing ... or that dude is listening to music so loud his colon is bleeding.
Please be superhuman hearing, please be superhuman hearing, please be...

Mysterious/Carnivorous
I must give credit to my brother, Darron, for coming up with the concept for this comic. I can always count on him for a weird, yet hilarious, suggestion.

Fun with Electricity in Waterworld
My word it is raining a lot these days. It's like hurricane-level rainfall. I was walking to work today and got drenched. And I had an umbrella! It was like the rain was trying to shoot up my nose or blind me.
Anyway, it's not all bad because I've recently purchased a wondrous invention: An electric flyswatter. If for some reason you can't guess what it is, it's a tennis racket crossed with an electric chair. Practical, fun, and so simple a well grounded baby could use it.
I used to get pissed off when mosquitoes harassed me in my apartment, but now I leave windows open and heaps of rotting fruit lying about just to increase the chances of an "encounter". I can't believe I spent so many years using messy flyswatters like a barbarian. Now I can destroy insect life with the power of SCIENCE! The way God intended.
