My Korean Thanksgiving
was really fun. It really wasn’t any different from every other Thanksgiving I’ve had; the food was all the same—turkey, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, pie, etc. The only difference was I didn’t look remotely like anyone else at the table. It was a fantastic meal, though, and I’d like to say thank you, again, to the Choi family for graciously making me an...
Check it out, in June of 2007 Governor Sarah Palin made TV’s Craig Ferguson an honorary citizen of the United States of America by giving him the sign of the cross. I don’t even know what planet she thinks we’re on. It enrages me that a person like that can get nearly as far as the White House, but I’m a graduate of one of the top 20 schools in the nation and I’m...
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the...

Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m going to bed soon, and I am not going to be here very much this holiday weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving (even if you don’t celebrate it). I’ve got a lot to be thankful for and I intend to give those thanks like there’s no tomorrow.

When I took fiction writing in college, this was the first story the professor had us read, and the first thing he said to us was “this is how you fucking write a short story!” I knew right away it was gonna be a good class.

Well, the outing to see Ponyo did not go as planned, but it was still a successful evening in that it took my mind off shit. I waited in an insanely long line to try and get in to see the movie, and the theater capacity was reached at, seriously, two people in front of me in line. That was frustrating, but to make up for it they gave us free passes to see any other movie at the theater, and we...
