Have y'all seen this? I'm sure you have. But dammit, for the two of you who haven't, I have to do you a favor.

Someone out in youtube land discovered a 60's Bob Fosse choreographed routine that works Perfectly well to "Walk It Out" My favorite is 2:14-2:20.

I need a vacation.

But I don't really have anyone to go with.

I'm thinking of going away and just being by myself for 4 days. I've never done it before and the more I think about it, the more I'm excited by the idea of it.

So far I'm thinking Maine or San Francisco.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Somewhere pretty and low-key.

YG Retreat pictures. finally.

what are we pointing at? better question... whose suggestion was this?

I had a lovely time at this year's retreat. Thanks for all the laughs and hugs and prayers and encouraging words. I always leave these things just overflowing with squishy feelings for you guys. :) Here are some of the pictures from Summer Retreat '07.

Scavenger Hunt pics:

Painful Pyramid

Joey serenades HaeInn

Got this one on the first try!

That's one Zen Suchan...

Hannah before (with our ghetto interpretation of a rainbow)

Hannah after our make-"under"

Cha Cha Slide!

Show us how it's done!

David feels it

No, correction... Greg Oh ... FEEELS... it.

Well, I think we always knew that it wasn't his dancing skills that Roger won Christine over with.

Group Pictures!

I'm not sure what I was doing out of frame ... but it must've been really scary...

our team name ... EL AWESOME-O (though Suchan doesn't seem to think so)

Our team pose?... duh... also EL AWESOME-O!

Our sister team THE FUNKTASTIC (dubbed by myself of course.) they were pretty much this miserable the whole time. Really brought the mood down. Thanks a lot guys.

The winning skit team. The trifecta of the ultimate in coolness: El Awesome-O + The Funktastic + Hello Kitty = Hello Funktasmo!

The Big Dogs of Hello Funktasmo: Kathy, El Magnifico and Young Jeezy

Yes, yes, very cute... now give me back my shades Hannah.

What'd you say about my mama, Abe??

And one more so's you don'ts forgets.

What, you wanna be next?

The game Chee Chabo with Eric obbah is the best. I think because there's more at stake when Eric's there to do the wrist-slap punishments. His hands are like bear claws. Bear Claws!

MinHee learned the hard way.

Jason unwinds the next day with golf.

Heroic!

Bonus pics:

I drove Victor up to school at Syracuse. On the way up, we stopped by this roadside dive where you can get 2 dozen clams, a 1 1/2 lb. lobster and a baked potato for $20.98!!! If that weren't enough... the whole place was covered in animal heads. (including a rhino, a giraffe and a scene recreation of a wolf attacking a deer!!)

I didn't know how i felt about being "watched" by a hundred pairs of glass eyes while I ate.

Victor was in Disneyland for as far as he was concerned.

Secretly, I think he was slightly freaked out too.

But no matter, when our delicious, cheap shellfish came all was forgotten.

Thank God we're not Kosher because mm-MM!, them bottom-feeders are some good eatin'!!

I think I'll be updating more often from now on... I think i've been making it a lot more daunting in my head. just like everything else in my life.

deep breath out

YG summer retreat of '07 was El-Awesome. I left feeling all loved and squishy inside. And once again Kathy sunsengnim brought not only the noise, but the funk to the skit contest. Pictures to come!

This bugged me out... Check out these beautiful intelligent foreign students strut their Korean on a talk show. Fellow American, Leslie sounds so good 6 min. into the video, that it makes me embarrassed for my own lack of command of my own language. Where do I sign up for lessons?

As soon as I'm done painting, I'll be posting before and after pics of my new apt. next week. :)

who knows you better than your friends?

If you need cheering up...

Maybe you need this today like I do. These make me smile, and I'd like to pass them along. Please enjoy at least one or two.

Where in the world is Matt? I think I'm in love.

Against my better judgement (because I know most of you young'ns won't know this song.) this is my favorite piece by the Manualist. Queen's Don't Stop Me Now.

Kids jamming out to Stevie Wonder on 1972 Sesame Street

Snowbo. A student animation.

Mr. Rogers: hope and love can topple the heartless and cynical. His equal parts peace and passion fascinate me.

Because Vanilla Fudge is El Awesome and the bassist freaking cracks me up at 1:16 EVERY TIME.

Ernie and Aaron Neville. Don't ask. But I think it has to do with not taking for granted your loved ones around you. Plus it cracks me up that that voice can come from a big black man in a cowboy hat.

Frustration is...

Mon, 21 May 2007 17:19:11 GMT

... really needing something from someone who is both stupid and unhelpful.

In good news... Victor's back for the summer... hooray! There goes my already re-re sleep schedule. :(

And also... I'm looking to move out towards Astoria/Long Island City around July. Does anyone know of anybody looking for a place or a roommate?

Comically pathetic Saturday.

Sun, 13 May 2007 02:22:09 GMT

It's Saturday night. 11:15pm.

I'm at my office, putting the smackdown on logging tapes for next week's edit.

In my bare feet.

Eating Shin Cup Ramen.

With a Tele-Tubby emblem on my head.

Is this really where I pictured myself at 27 when i was a kid?
Haha... probably not too far from it.

... Try not to be too jealous! Hahahahaa....

I Want One!!
