Different Days and a Halloween Heart
After locking up my bike downstairs I came up to my classroom, filled my mug with some hot coffee from the pot, sat down and started going through the class schedule. I gotta say, life now sure is different than it was a year ago.
Not a bad thing at all. Change is good when you’re unhappy. Any kind of change; it’s better than staying still. Consistency is good when you got what you...

– An email from back in January during CES 2010 (thanks for bringing this back to attention Annie!)
I think I need to find a way to go again next year.

Cooling Down
I love that this heat is finally getting a bit tired of beating down on us. Take that heat, ya jerk! It’s been cooling down here in Seoul and I love it. There has also been a ton of clouds, overcast almost every time I look outside. But, I love the overcast, I love what it does for photography, I love what it does for my mood, it’s all good stuff. It’s NOT “gloomy”,...
Neighbors
Sounds sad but I get pretty lonely around here. This area is really great and all, I just wish I knew some neighbors. People I could go for a drink with after work. Or just hang out on the rooftop some nights. Maybe go for a walk in the nearby mountains. Someone to explore the local restaurants with.
I always think heavily about how much I want to...
Charlie's Life'n'Stuff: PC 방! →
Charlie, all you have to do is walk in, grab a PC card from the counter and sit at any available station. You then enter your card number and hit start. When you’re ready to leave, restart the computer or simply log off. Give the person at the counter your card and pay your small fee. It’s incredibly simple and fun. Good luck.
There we go, thanks Jimmy! I’ll head over there...
PC 방!
Been wanting to go to this PC 방 right next to my apartment for a while. For a number of reasons including photo editing because my netbook is a piece of junk, browsing gmarket because my netbook is a piece of junk, and playing some video games because my netbook is a piece of junk, but for some reason I’m afraid to. I’m not sure how they run exactly, it seems like the kind of place...
Floor plan
I was really bored tonight so I spent the past 3 hours making a floor plan of my apartment. I borrowed a tape measure from my boss on Friday and tonight I went around my whole apartment measuring every wall and cabinet to make my floor plan to scale.
So, here’s what my apartment looks like right now:
And here’s what I’m hoping it’ll look like in a month or so once I...
Furniture!
This weekend I’m finally going to buy some furniture to fill this empty apartment.
I’ve been plotting out my room on some graph paper (I like doing this stuff), and I’m wondering whether I should go with a full size bed or get a single and save space…
(I have a lot of fun organizing my living space, I think maybe I’ll draft these up into an excel sheet and post...

노량진 [Noryangjin] Fish Market
Tonight Laura invited me out to go to the Noryangjing fish market! What an awesome experience it was.
What happened tonight?
Well, I got there first and I decided to wander around the train station, it was one of those cool outdoor ones (maybe not so cool, but I was amused). As I was walking up the steps to a bridge this dude came tumbling down along with this giant box he was carrying. He...

Film!
Yesterday I went with Jacob to 충무로 to check out the camera district (it’s probably not called the camera district, but I’m calling it that.) This place was awesome! If you’re looking for anything to do with film cameras then this is definitely the place to go. I stocked up on some film finally so you could expect some photos from my Minolta and maybe Holga in the near future.
I...

Finally made the jump!
I’ve realized that ever since I arrived here in Korea my blog has become more of a photography blog than a place for me to place my thoughts. I “blogged” a lot more back in the states. As this crept up on me I started having urges to write about my happenings out here but every time I was about to I felt like I shouldn’t. Gained a ton of followers and I figured they are...
