If you haven't noticed already, my blog clearly lacks a theme.  One day I'm writing love letters, and suddenly I'm writing about porn and rape (not finished yet).  I started this thing as a photo blog, but it morphed into a hodgepodge of just about everything in my life, from a diary to viral video postings.  May be my blog will be better if I had a theme.  Then again, may be not.

I'm gonna start off with a question.  No, it's not a complicated philosophical one.  It's related to clothing.  Yes, clothing.  Isn't that weird, coming from me?  I wouldn't categorize myself as a fashion terrorist, but you can call me a fashion minimalist (I hope this phrase doesn't already have a designated definition).  This means, I try to get by with minimum amount of clothing possible, and I don't care about trends.  May be I am a fashion terrorist after all.

Anyways, I will be going to Mongolia this late January/ early February, and it just happens to be the coldest time of the year.  If you didn't know already, the temperature in Ulan Bataar is roughly about -20C ~ -40C.  That's about -13F to -40F.  When the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit is equal, it means it's pretty damn cold.

The Hungarian goose down jacket that I'm looking into is about 690,000 won, or 600~700 dollars, depending on the exchange rate. 

The other jacket that I'm looking into, is 450,000 thousand won.




On a side note, the model for this brand, NEPA, is none other than nick khun (kun?)  I really couldn't care less, but some of my readers know him personally, and might be interested in such things.

Now that I've successfully and foolishly diverted the attention to some Korean pop star, I simply don't know what to buy.  The red one undoubtedly looks better, but I think my hiking boots will match well with the brown jacket. 

I have a hunch that most people stopped caring at this point, and is looking at the 2pm picture.  But anyways, My choices are: 1. red jacket, 2. brown jacket, 3. Something much cheaper but is made out of the same material (about 250,000 won, or 250 bucks), or 4. just wear a lot of layers and screw the jacket.  Any suggestions?

People aren't rational.  They just rationalize.

How would you translate "유채꽃과 문섬의 전경?"  A (panoramic) view of the Moon Island and rape?  Why would you name a flower "rape?"  Perhaps, the word "rape" as in sexual assault was coined after the flower.  But in that case, why is such an offensive act synonymous with a beautiful flower?

sigh, never mind.  I should just be thankful that it doesn't read "유채꽃과 자라돔의 아름다운 전경."  You know, "the beautiful view of rape and damselfish."

p.s.  fyi, the correct way to pronounce "damselfish" is not damn-selfish, but damsel-fish.  But I'm sure enough people will read it as damn-selfish, which is why the last line might be remotely humorous for some.

This took me about 5 minutes to write and 10 minutes of debating whether I should post it on facebook or not.  I'm so self-conscious about my facebook statuses.  The writing was originally intended for facebook, but I decided that it wasn't worthy since it's not personal, important, or something profoundly interesting that ought to be shared with the world.  Treat your neighbor as you'd like to be treated right?  Why would I post boring statuses when I get annoyed by it?  Once, I confessed to my group of friends that I had blocked another mutual friend of ours and voila!  Just about everyone (4 people I think?) had blocked the same person.  I feel so guilty whenever I block people, but I must do it for my sanity. 

But some people tend to think that everything they say is well received by others, even when no one likes their statuses - consistently.  I applaud their courage.  Just kidding.  I damn their obtuseness and thank the facebook programmers for coming up with "subscribe to only important" option.

I'm watching American Beauty.  In the beginning of the movie, a forty-something year old man masturbates inside a bathroom, confessing that it is the highlight of his day.  I hope that doesn't happen to me.  I have ten years.  fml.  When did I get so old.  I spent at least the half of my twenties droning - staring at a screen to be exact.  I hope I won't say the same thing about the next decade.

p.s.  Grammatically speaking, "fuck my life," is a command, which implies that the subject is you.  Hence, the real sentence reads, "you (the subject) fuck (the verb) my life."  It just doesn't sound the same.
