What do you mean there aren't enough songs,...
I’ve got 49.71 gb of tunes in there and you can’t find something that’s like David Gray’s Babylon?
Oy vey.

IT WAS!
I was really confused because I was expecting the kiss after the exchange of rings. But I guess they were being prudes because they were in the “House of God.” Which is so hypocritical since most Korean immigrants who attend church only really attend to find future spouses. The juxtaposition of sex and church always made me laugh… like today, obviously.

Yikes
today, or yesterday if you want to get technical, was my cousin’s wedding day.
Like all Korean weddings I’ve attended, there were many bible passages read and “Amen”s muttered. My cousin and his bride did not kiss after the minister ordained them husband and wife. You know what they did? They shook hands. SERIOUSLY? THEY SHOOK THEIR F-ING HANDS?
Well, the...

So it’s been over a month since I finished up school… and I still haven’t looked for a job. Which is sad. And pathetic since I’ve told my parents and the bf that I’m actively looking. I feel like I needed a month of recovery from academic stress, although honestly, it wasn’t a very stressful semester at all. I just needed a month of doing absolutely nothing....

“I’m interested in the people who are inclined to be a little bit sad, who maybe...”

yes!
Whenever I get calls from “unknown,” it’s usually a) spanish speaking automated messages b) the ex boyfriend calling from Afghanistan.
Before, when I was still mildly hung up on him/enjoyed wasting his skype minutes by not saying thing or being a complete and utter bitch, I’d gladly pick up those “unknown” calls. I didn’t care if it was an automated...
papa: why in god's name is he(his nephew/my cousin) having his stupid wedding in january? Is she pregnant?
J: that's what I said and you yelled at me!
papa: that's because you're young and you mustn't think those thoughts. But I bet he's knocked her up.
Our power went out after a snow storm broke 3 large tree branches in our neighborhood which all collapsed on our power lines...
and one minute into our outage...
Papa: you know, even third world countries have better electrical systems than the US. They keep it underground so this shit doesn't happen.
J: well to America's credit, it's because we haven't been bombed.
Tis a Miracle!
Well sort of. iTunes has decided to make a decent Genius mix today… featuring all my favorite songs by the Shins, Damien Rice, Pete Yorn’s Musicforthemorningafter album, Ryan Adams and Guster.
This is rare!!
Now, only if MobileMe’s “teething problems”* will work themselves out.

Tis a Damien Rice, Ryan Adams and wine kind of night.

mope around and i am shown cash
since I’ve been twiddling my thumbs and not really working on my cover letter or resume for the translating intelligence documents, my dad has taken pity on me and shown me his secret money (of $100 bills) hiding spot. He said he feels sorry for me, and that I should go see some friends and put gas in my car. He asked that I only take out $100 a week.
Oh God, as nice as this is, I...

Fake religious guilt
I was taught to feel guilty at a very young age- by the holy, saintly Christians who were a part of my early childhood. My overly religious piano teacher who told me I’d burn in hell if I lied, my aunts who conned me into giving my pocket money away because I feared that my parents would go to hell because I was selfish. They also said buddhists will burn in hell too so what do I know?

On the way to Solvang, bf's mom is playing Words With Friends on her iPhone.
mama: So is "beaner" a word?
j, bf, bf's sister: -stunned silence- -burst of laughter and cackles- and a collective "ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
bf's sister: god mom, don't say that in front of the kid. He's gonna say it in school next week and he'll be expelled for a hate crime!
mama: what does it mean? is it a noun?
boo hoo hoo
I’ve been laid off my tutoring gig. At least they were very sweet about the whole process. They said that I’ve been so good that she’s been getting A’s. Also, she’s kind of lazy and literally cries half way through the lessons wanting it to end… so I’m guessing she begged her parents to stop.
Anyway, I have two more lessons to go and I’m done....
Just finished watching Book of Eli
which makes me ask, what’s up with all the boat scenes at the end of post-apocolypse movies?
oh protestant guilt
My cousin, who is getting married at the end of the month, who we haven’t seen for the last 2-3 years (despite the fact that we live about 10 miles away from each other) came over tonight. The cynic in me says he only came over to butter up my parents so they’ll give them money on their wedding day.
Ugh, I hate to be so cynical, but I hate (poor) sycophants who butter up my parents...
tonight, i nearly ran over a dozen koreans
in front of a funeral home. oh, the irony.
The funeral home is in the most precarious location, which is to say, it is right next to a terribly designed exit. It’s got limited parking space, so most people park across the McDonald’s lot which is across the street. Anyway, the road is dimly lit, but I’ve got new lights put in, and they’re pretty blindingly bright so they...
a comparison of three cities
DC:
-Has the nicest airports. Reagan National has a really cool design and Dulles is the best planned one I think. It’s far away from civilization so it’s got room for expansion and they’ve got the only Chipotle to serve a breakfast menu.
-Our flight out to Houston out of Reagan National was at 8am, but the flight to Houston at 7am was delayed by 5 hours because union...
Yikes
It’s a good thing I never became an accountant because I just realized I had about $1000 in cash, and I made a deposit of $250 before I left for Mexico. I still can’t account for the other $200 that’s missing.
Also, I still hate cash.
Oy vey!
These days, I only get paid in cash. My holiday bonuses, my spending money and my regular tutoring job comes in the lovely green fiberous form that is the USD.
Except, it is a terrible, terrible medium when you know you once had $800 extra cash before your travel but can only find about $600 of it. I threw away all the receipts on my journey and have no idea what happened to it. I probably...
