so it think nell went a bit korean on this video by creating a stupid story which surrounds the theme, and i dunno what's up with the lead singer's hair... he almost look's like pete in his first shot :p

(btw, the girl with the gun in the first scene says "gimme back my memories")

the best way to get shelves is to make your own! costs less than $7 per shelf, and doesn't look half bad. i added two in my bedroom, and went a head and added a new board to the cheapo console table i bought at target for my receiver.

a pretty cool band i discovered through 승훈... although 수진 thinks he sounds too american, i like the new sound that strays away from mainstream k-pop (sorry kay!). my brother's obsessed with them, to the point that every time i take a picture with him he wants me to do a nell-style photo pose w/him. umm, yeah. ^^

one of the many korean "cafe"s in annandale... this one is cafe noir, a bar/lounge for hip 20-somethings (and little children w/ familes, apparently...) ㅋㅋ

actually, i have no clue what these two are doing. i think this was paul's apartment before i dry vacuumed about two pounds of dirt from his dirty carpet... alas, he just moved three floors below into a new unit, so all that was in vain...

i took minae to biltmore estates for her birthday, located in beautiful asheville, north carolina. it's supposedly the country's largest house, owned by some doods named vanderbilt. we stayed at the four-star hotel on the actual estate, which was nothing less than awesome. in return, i made minae buy me a snoozy baby cow, posing below :p

minae's probably one of very few people to drag a teddy bear to a dunkin' donuts on new year's eve... needless to say she suffered terrible separation anxiety when we left the city :p

i was sifting through some old files archived on a backup CDs, and ran into this old webpage/journal i used to keep. it's kind of eery with the background music, especially since reading the entries for the first time in five years...

it's a bit 신기 how far i've come in since then. some particularly interesting entries are: 1 2 3

new year's eve was spent at my brother's place in new york city. we rounded up the finest ingredients from across the city to create a very italian (and not to mention heavy) new year's eve dinner. on the menu was a light and tangy risotto, potato gnocchi w/pesto sauce, and penne pasta with a sweet and savory cream of bell pepper sauce.

after lugging a 24" tv uptown to shove in paul's pad, we ended the night with resident evil: apocalypse :p

some photos (taken with a leica rangefinder, f1 lens -- that means lotsa blur, soojin!)

minae reads (that's paul in the background, with a nice f1 blur! it looks like he's eating potato chips, but that's actually his thinking pose).


nyc.nye.04.04.jpg
minae writes - she's using one of paul's fountain pens that he bought to start his journal... paul: check to make sure she didn't take it ;)

a nice couply pic :) if you ever walk into paul's room, make sure to stay away from the bookshelf behind us. i think it hasn't been dusted since 2001...

hey, i don't look so fat in this one! ^^
