Reflecting Back on Korea

I wanted to jot down some memories from my first-time-back-in-13-years trip to Korea before my aging brain locks everything away into the dark corners of obscurity. And since I love making lists, here are 10 things that are freshest on my mind from my trek back to the motherland! 1.  First and foremost (in what is probably a […]

When Disney Meets ‘Orange Is the New Black’

While some may find the juxtaposition of cartoon character faces on human bodies creepy, I think this Disney and Orange Is the New Black mashup deserves a mention. I’m loving Rapunzel’s loopy stare as Nicky, and Belle being cast as Daya just somehow makes sense. And seeing Eric as Pornstache makes you consider the innocuous prince in an entirely […]

Back to Life, Back to Reality [Jetlag Edition]

The current time here, back home on the east coast of the U.S., is 2:47am and I am WIDE AWAKE. 😕 It figures — just as my body was finally becoming accustomed to the day-night reversal in Korea, my vacation came to an abrupt end. When I was still planning this trip, J (who has taken 3 trips […]

Airplane Sleep Positions

I’m having a blast in Korea! I’ll write more about my trip in a future post, but for the moment I wanted to share with you this comic strip from Tastefully Offensive. I thought it especially appropriate considering that direct flights between JFK and Incheon International Airport are approximately 14 hours long. 🙂         […]

Korea-Bound!

Yesterday was our last full day at home before I leave for Korea. 😎   The reason for my week-long (9 days with travel time) trip back to the motherland is a cousin’s wedding. I was actually supposed to visit Korea earlier this year for another cousin’s wedding, but decided to cancel the trip in light […]

3 Flowcharts [Sleep, GoT, and World Cup Edition]

My head is a royal mess right now. Packing. Cleaning. Making sure the girls don’t kill each other. Laundry. My 15th rendition of “Do-Re-Mi” (C&A’s favorite song at the moment) today. More cleaning (because I can’t leave for a trip without cleaning first). In case you have more free time than me today, here are three flowcharts you may […]

“Why Did They Have to Die?”, Game of Thrones Edition [Infographic]

Although the most popular complaint against A Song of Ice and Fire series is the callous and unexpected ways in which George R.R. Martin kills off beloved characters (have you seen this?), my biggest complaint is that there are just too. Many. Damn. Characters. And as someone who is horrible with names — especially names that are difficult to pronounce (you […]

Honest Video Game Box Art

Honest Video Game Box Art is a Facebook page that edits video game covers to more accurately depict its gameplay, and/or what it does to the people playing it. As you can imagine, it hosts some pretty funny revisions.  😆  Here are some of my favorites — the Contra cover has to be my favorite! You […]
