However, are you show the bowl of noodles dish is "kimbap"? I thought kimbap/gimbap was the korean style of sushi:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GimbapOh well, good food is still good food! Keep us updated.
I meant bimbap, but kimbap is also excellent I just had it.

I didn't know about you Carefoot until this thread. Now I read your blog and this thread, and you're like a refreshing breeze when compared to other reports coming from Korea. Not that other stuff is bad, but I like your more personal approach. Keep it cool dude.
Also, you describe Artosis exactly as I picture him.
Exactly. I just gave my point blank opinion, I walk off a plane, take a picture with a guy, give him a gift and then he notes my ID is awful. I explain my ID is my last name. I try to break the uncomfortable tension with a joke about myself (ie. a self jab, not insulting him) as a poor translation possibly is reacted with a break in eye contact to make the comment that my story is gay. I call it a dick move but hey what do I know I am just a nerd. In elementary school I made a kid cry with just words, am I any better?
Its a blog, I fucking hate blogs but I am doing this because I love L2SC.
But some stuff (ie. hint the fact that I might actully be gay or that homophobia in general can on the wrong note ruin my opinion of people) is personal. It is a public diary. I don't mind putting some of my feelings out, but not all of them. I assume most of you can take some shit on face value. Some people are dicks and they are friends. Infact most of the friends who grew up around you and you are still friends with - are dicks. I am not a dick I am more of a penis tree.
I went to a bar here in Seoul today and sat down, I asked for a water. The bartender looked at me and asked again, you want water?
He pointed at the door. I smiled and left. To be situations like this in life are funny, because in retrospect they are absurd. It is not absurd to think or have an opinion, or be who you are.
A lot of people get along with me and know me. I take the time to give the gift of recognition, and I try to share the one emotion I think is universal - love.
I love Starcraft to know that in Korea the culture sees Starcraft in a much healthier way intellectually than North America where I feel the climate is ignorant and spiteful.
I'd hope people in this new place welcome anyone who grew up with dreams that had yet to be realized by anyone else let them live. Artosis does a lot of shit, he also has a bald spot. If I were to point out that he looks like a balding bert-dracula. You can either a). giggle b). frown c). write a blog about it
I didn't get a chance to laugh because he walked the fuck away from me. His joke was for Idra or perhaps Incontrol, or maybe the invisible audience that has been etched into his ego from casting (hes starting to remind me of Larry King in this regard).
I can give you the deepest analogy ever of a 5 sec moment that made my stomach drop because ultimately the point of my conversation had been "hey where the fuck do you think someone who just got out of a plane should sleep if they have nowhere to go?"
You as well as I do that I can take a fucking joke. I am not normal. For MANY reasons, and not the kind of bullshit on the internet. Fundamentally I was born with inclinations that will never go away and if I get dimissed before those are even addressed than maybe this community isn't one but more of a tribe.
Speaking of tribes, this is called a "diatribe". Here let me tell you what my opinion is of right now. I am fucking dehydrated, to the point of delusion. I'd probably be far less moody with a glass of water. But instead I am writing here.
I enjoy frequenting bars, clubs and discos but I don't inbue alcohol nearly as much as I just enjoy dancing. I'm growing my hair out in an attempt to be more androgynous. I like rap music by the artist Gift of Gab because his poetry floors me. This is a blog!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLhjpFh6LvkPretty obscure song for me to post but its all so groovy. Some of my smoothest games of SC we're me playing to the soundtrack of anything by either Blackalicious or Gift of Gab. I concede rap isn't generally good for gaming unless in this rare instance its as sick as this last album.
I concede further that every album he has been attached to is both sick and or groovy.
Blog update: Today I venture to Super Daniel Man from GOM classics PC bang today, I will bring back my findings!
