I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.

A Short Hiatus

My grandfather is very, very ill.

My 외할아버지 managed to fly out to the states for my wedding in 2008 and looked badass in his newsboy cap and cane. He was in a lot of pain at the time but still managed to travel and smile throughout the day.

My mother has decided to go to Korea to say her final goodbyes. I will be taking charge of her store for the duration of her 10-day visit.

Since I will be working 12 hours a day, six days a week (with no computers), and will undoubtedly be exhausted from working on my feet all day, there will be little time for blogging.

Please keep my family in your prayers in this difficult time.

I promise to return in a couple of weeks with some big news.

In the meantime...

Let's Go Saints!

Postcards from Penguin

I have a fondness for old books, and old bookcovers are no exception. This is precisely the reason this set of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket, makes me squeal with delight.

They are available here for $30.

An Alphabet for Korean-Americans

Suggu is a an alphabet mashup between Hangul (the Korean alphabet) and the Roman alphabet.

This may not be that interesting to my non-Korean readers, but it's fascinating to people like me who can read both Korean and English. Using the Roman alphabet's consonants and Hangul's vowels, Suggu produces some dazzling results, if I do say so myself.

Go check out the website to see how it works, and to download the font!

Hoppin' on the Bandwagon

I've been feeling under the weather and thus utterly uninspired as of late. So please join me as I jump on the bandwagon.

What I Wouldn't Give to Be a Mother

Yesterday I read that a woman with no vagina became pregnant and went on to deliver a baby boy.

Granted, the "miraculous conception" occurred under extraordinary circumstances — fellatio followed by an abdominal stab wound — but I couldn't help but question my own body afterwards.

Because the truth of the matter is, I would gladly get stabbed in the stomach if it meant a baby.

And I know plenty of other women who feel the same way.
