TVXQ’s new song, 「どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう」.
The boys are progressively getting… dare I say… well, less attractive. Jaejoong continues to make his transformation into a full-blown anime boy, setting the prototype for all Asian boy bands, complete with blue eyes. Yoochun continues to spiral from his peak MAN HOTNESS days of “Choosey Lover” and regresses slowly but surely into Shaggy Dog (irrelevant sidenote: do you remember this wonderful Kirk Cameron dog movie from the Disney Channel that we must have watched a million times?). Junsu is turning into a fatty. Yunho would be the only hot one if he would just cut his damn hair. I guess this leaves us the “baby,” Changmin, who would be all the more appealing—to me, anyway—if he wasn’t such a babyface.
That said… this song is quite minimalist. I was expecting to be “meh,” but it grows on you, especially after you watch this video. It’s the stuff Asian dramas live off of, and while the video itself isn’t sad, the pairing with the lyrics is bittersweet. Whoever did the English translation needs to find a correct copy of the lyics or learn better Japanese syntax, however—a lot of the parts are slightly off, if not completely.
I’m hearing that it’s the third time in a row the boys have snagged #1 on the Oricon charts, making them the first ever foreign group to do so in over 24 years. *golf clap*
Have you heard it in Japan? Is it popular? Are they still relevant? They hadn’t been doing anything when I was there so I heard nothing. (“Prisoner of Love” was starting to pick up steam when I was there.)

“ My goal, which is already achieved, is to have the very bottom of my back look dimply if I’m leaning back and squeezing my butt. I’ve done lunges for years and years, and now it’s a hard-as-rock, striated ass. Ten years ago, I had literally no ass. If I got heavier I had a big, huge bubble butt. I squeeze 1,000 butts a day — they’re all flat. Even with a girl that looks good — if I squeeze and it’s complete goo, that’s not going to look good.

Y’know, I could never remember if this guy was dead or not.
Some good tips. Mostly repeated by my English teachers, but I always tend to forget.
You are using the Firefox plugin for Tumblr stuff, right? Don’t just post photos… share some links buddy! Keep me entertained…

Korea, Day 6 + 7
I would TOTALLY eat that burger. HOW CUTE!!
Day 6
Patbingsoooooo! I got milk bingsoo and Mama got the coffee.
Dinner was at that place where they bring the table to you. YUM.
Day 7
Afrina, ver. 1: adventurous, brave, bold.
Afrina, ver 2: elegant, aloof. “Blake Lively” type hahah. With peep toe boots.
Afrina, ver 3: feminine. I added in a small crown thing since this draft, and I’ve decided on the white gogo boots. :) This is the version I like best, though it’s basically the same thing as ver 2.
Afrina, ver 4: sleek. It’s a no, though much more true to the original Afrina design from years ago.

Where do fruit flies come from?!
Your cell phone charm reminds me of this. Cute. (And I will make this!)
So, my latest gripe in the past few days have been the fruit flies invading our kitchen. I suspect it has to do with the bananas that Jen and I leave lying around in the kitchen—it’s gotten to the point where after they ripen SLIGHTLY, I’ll need to store them in our fridge. And I am not a fan of refrigerated bananas. Their texture becomes different and the sweetness is completely gone.
Even without fruits, though, they LOVE our trash. We’ve moved our trash to under the sink and thought that’d keep out the flies, since it’s shut in with the cabinet door, but I still found more this morning. I spent all of last week after yoga class killing all the fruit flies in our bathroom and in our kitchen for a good 20 minutes. (Fruit flies incite my anger more than my disgust, so I am able to kill them without squirming too much, although I still do use excessive paper to kill the wee things.)
Ben thinks it’s because we keep our kitchen window open. I don’t think that’s the case, but I’m going to try shutting it and see if that changes anything. Otherwise I’m planning on setting a beer-and-funnel trap.
… you don’t think the flies lay EGGS inside the skin of the fruit, do you?!?!

Crazy LG fans at the home stadium at Seoul Sports Complex (built for the ‘88 Olympics). LG Twins vs Samsung Lions, both mediocre teams. Twins are at the bottom, but they won this game!
This batter for Samsung Lions was born in 1989!!!! MY AGE
LG had an American batter with the name of Fettuccine or something. No joke.
