baaaaaaaaaasically

http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=jDyruoNZhes

sums it up.

the day after sewon sent this video to me, i heard it quoted like five times.

also, shout-out to ilsan and lafesta (those are my hoods)

it so fantastically encapsulates foreigner in korea culture in a three minute rap, it blows my mind.

i did some hard hangin this weekend but nothing too ridiculously noteworthy - goin to the movies, drinkin at the pirate bar, art exhibit, indian food, sleepin and readin a lot, basic weekend stuff.

i think i asked this before...but which books should i check out? i'm rediscovering my love for reading  here and have been blazin through some tales. i like contemporary writing but would be up for some classics or some good nonfiction (especially science writing!) as well. lemme know good books you've read recently! or favorites of all time!

I'm glad to see you've rediscovered your love for reading. A list I kind of like is Entertainment Weekly's The New Classics: Best Books from 1983-2008
I've read a surprisingly large share of those books, and I suspect you have, too. But there may be some ideas here for you:

So guess what song is stuck in my head? And Matt's? That's right.

Also, if you still read these posts.. you should read Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marissa Pessl. I read a couple of years ago and really liked it! Check the website out: http://www.calamityphysics.com/main.htm
