It’s the end of NaBloPoMo and I’m making it by the skin of my teeth.

After I got off work at 10:30 tonight, Greg and I made samosas. He’s frying them right now. And wearing the apron he got from his co-workers as a wedding gift (presumably for me. I, however, got my own wedding [...]

Noraebang!

One thing I truly miss about Korea is noraebang – singing rooms. In Korea (and Japan, actually) kareoke isn’t done in bars drunkenly in front of strangers but in private rooms with just your friends. You are likely to be drunk but that’s not always the case. Cath and I used to go to noraebang [...]
