a bit macabre
I find it quite regrettable that the last entry posted here was the one about Crazy dying. Sorry, tumblr. I didn’t mean to do that. In any event.
September zoomed by due to a number of things. Excessive sleeping due to an ill feeling, dodgy internet connections, impulse shopping. I am behind on my photo uploads in Flickr, but hopefully I’ll remedy that soon.

WatchCrazy, star of the video shown above, has now passed on. I was trying to think of funny taglines, but really I just feel awkward about it.
Especially because I would like to do a proper burial, but I have no yard and no shovel. Suggestions?

Testing, testing
It is achievement test week here at my school, so the teachers get a bunch of free time to do nothing productive (we have to proctor) while the students try their hardest to level up. Korea has scantron sheets just like America except they don’t use pencils on theirs. They use water-based black markers.
So since I have all of this free time with the inability to do something like go...

This is a link to my first photos from Korea. They aren’t particularly exciting, I know, but neither was my first month.
Good thing I’ve got 11 more to pick up the pace.

Those indispensable things.
Having moved around a lot in the past 7 years of my life, I am coming to realize which things i consider indispensable to feeling that I am, loosely put, “home.”
Beyond this category are items that I always end up buying relatively quickly despite the fact that I never take them with me when I move and that they’re more of a luxury than a “have-it-or-die” type of...

today i watched a car accident
i arose on the late side this morning (and to the swell news of the us-england match), and about 15 minutes into my morning browsing i heard screeching tires. i looked to my right and saw the moment of impact on a two-car collision. i don’t really know how it happened, the angles didn’t really make any sort of reasonable sense. they were not at an intersection, yet they managed to...

teacher: so think about where you might want to go for summer vacation. anywhere you want.
student #1: teacher, how say *starts hula dancing*
teacher: hawaii, that's h-a-w-a-i-i. that's a good choice. you could go see hula dancers, maybe see a volcano.
student #2: oh i don't want to see volcanoes. then i would be dead.
student #3: *something in korean*
teacher: what was that?
student #2: pimples.
teacher: ?
student #2: you know, pimples. pimples are like little volcanoes.
teacher: ahh, right. pimples are like little volcanoes on your face.
students all nod.
