Forms
I just filled out a rental application for San Jose. It took me a long time to get it all done, about eight hours, and that wasn't as fast as I could have. I regret that. Paperwork and I are eternal enemies. I also have my start date for my job as an Indepe...

Neutral
It's been a month since I last wrote something here. I was going to put up a post talking about all the cool things I saw in Washington, DC, but that's old news now. I probably should try to cover it briefly or allude to it, but I can't seem to find my way ...

Briefly
I've been getting so little done that once things really kick off, I don't know if I'll be able to go back to working on things the way I used to. These things atrophy, you know. A little laziness here, a little procrastination there, and soon enough... My ...

The journey continues
Man, I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote on here. It's already 2014. I missed documenting my thirtieth birthday (and my sister's 32nd birthday), and the 2013 year in review. Those are the sorts of things that ought to merit at least a ment...

A day off
This month is unusual because there are two Korean holidays in it. The first one was Foundation Day. That was last week. Today is Hangul Day. Hangul Day wasn't always a proper holiday. Apparently, there's been some vacillation in the Korean assembly over wh...

Work ethic
I'm writing this post at about 2:30 in the morning, and I'm writing it without any embellishments, just a sort of stream of consciousness style, because that's all it really needs. All I  really need is to practice writing again. That is, I suppose I need t...

Stardates and stuff
This train of thought was inspired by the question  Is there any reason to change the way of counting time (24hrs a day) during long space travels? Although it was already well answered, it was too juicy to pass up without a little bit of irresponsible spec...

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, all! I spent the winter solstice in Jecheon, and I had a good time. Today's my day off. That is, it's Christmas Day. I better make it count. I want to be all better and  caught up with my handouts before I have to go back to work tomorrow. ...
