BigHominid's Hairy Chasms- mystery solved? 2009, June 12, Fri
Why the hell would Japanese women of a certain age go gaga over an effete girly-man like Bae Yong Jun? This article about American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert might offer us a peek inside the Japanese ajumma's mind._... - is Al Gore about to become a hostage? 2009, June 06, Sat
It appears that Al Gore is willing to go to North Korea to negotiate for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, the two American journalists being held there.I'm worried that ol' Al himself might be taken hostage, with Kim Jong Il threatening to send him back to the States piece by piece until we cough up a few trillion dollars. Given how large the Goremeister is, Kim could play this scenario out for a long time, perhaps even selling off slices of Gore as ersatz whale blubber. But if the North Koreans capture him and put him into a labor camp for ten years while returning the two women to the States, the joke is on North Korea: Gore will leave the experience leaner and meaner than ever._... - when headlines collide 2009, March 28, Sat

This month's theme in my life is 이별, or farewells. I spent the last evening in Korea -- for this stint, anyway -- with a couple of the closest friends I've ever had, and saw them off this morning. A few weeks ago, a very different 이별 made entirely of words and of emotions so enormous I cannot speak them in so frail a voice as bodies have. A few weeks ago I wrote of grace, and of having grace in partings and in changes. I wrote lovely words, and strangely I have learned that when one speaks in pretty words, the universe listens, and readies a test. The universe smiles and asks, "How shall this little bold thing hold up to a test of his finest words?" When there are tears, it is not a failing of grace. A quiet hour in thought is a necessary component of grace, and so is a few minutes alone with that most human experience, sorrow. Not failings. They are symptoms of being human, is all, is all. Partings, longings, the vicissitudes of time and change. We are creatures that are brim-... - Books, Books, Books 2009, June 27, Sat
For those keeping track (and I will have to update the site soon, but not today): The Year's Best SF 26 edited by Gardner Dozois is available as of a few days ago, and contains my story, "Lester Young and the Jupiter's Moons' Blues." My story Pahwakhe also got an Honorable Mention too... (I don't know if anything else did, I haven't seen the book yet as I'm all the way over in Korea). (Seeing my name in that list of authors blew my mind... me? On a list with those people, each of which is... wow. Blew my mind. Blows my mind now, still.) This winter, Apex Book Company will be publishing a collection of fiction from its website titled Descended From Darkness; it contains, among a bunch of other excellent pieces of fiction, my short story "Cai and Her Ten Thousand Husbands" which appeared on the site back in February. If you order it from this page, Apex will generously give me a cut of the profits for that copy sold, so hey, don't hold back, my friends! My story "The Bohisattvas" will b...

And on that note, more reason to avoid Jon Huer. Christ, what DO they teach at UCLA? - Open Thread #107 2009, July 03, Fri
Enjoy it while it lasts. - Tastes Great, Less Threatening . . . 2009, July 03, Fri
North Korea is such a busy place nowadays, especially considering the early fourth of July celebration they threw for Americans everywhere with their fireworks show. All this and now the first North Korean advertising for beer, on TV. Per the BBC: Billed as the "Pride of Pyongyang", the advert promises drinkers that the beer will help ease stress. The TV spot perhaps sets a record as well as for being the longest beer commercial on TV running for two-and-one-half minutes. Concurent to this new age in North Korean advertising, North Korea is also facing a critical food shortage that is posed to threaten more than a few children as well.
- Oh, Chosun Ilbo -- You're Sucking. 2009, June 30, Tue
I've blogged this over at Korean Media Watch. What does it take to write a story about foreigners molesting children? Apparently, no evidence or cited sources whatsoever. - Michael Jackson in Korea 2009, June 29, Mon
MJ came to Korea four times that I know of, first in 1996, then every year after that until 1999. Here he is popping, locking, and moonrocking out in a concert in 1999. I always loved the effect they did with the sheet for Billie Jean. Awesome. RIP. - Michael Jackson Dies! 2009, June 26, Fri
Wow. Kind of in shock. Dead? 50? When my friend told me on the phone, I didn't believe it. Michael Jackson, dead at 50 because of a heart attack. So ends an era. I guess it'll go down something like this: [Source] Whew. Cueing up my MJ songs in the iPod tonight.

It's a secret to everybody. I moved. Don't tell anyone. - 끝 2007, February 12, Mon
To quote the great poet lauret of my times, M.C. Hammer, "We outta here baby!" At present I am way out of South Korea for at least two years, but more likely than not, for keeps. That's right kids, I'm back in the US and A. Now I could take this time to get all misty-eyed and recap the good times, possibly with some sort of montage set to the Green Day song, "Time Of Your Life," but where would the fun in that be. So instead I'm going to report on the ten things I will not miss once I leave the country that has been my home these past four years. 1. Random people pointing at me and declaring: a) "Hello," or some other random English phrase and then laughing at however I respond. b) "Wow a foreigner!" 2. 회식. Not so much the meal itself, but the fact that they are pretty much mandatory here. Seriously I have better things to do on a Friday evening that hit up noraebang with the boss. 3. Vomit on the streets. 4. Gag Concert, 웃찾사, et. al. I could live here a tho... - Actually Searches That Lead People Here (Jan. 2006) 2007, February 01, Thu
