Goals and Things
Ok, let's get a couple of things straight. I'm in another foreign place, leading another group of men (and one exceptionally talky woman). But this time, I am attempting to beat the enemy with 3D printers, a sewing machine and reachback to some incredibly precise fabrication facilities. My team is mostly civilians, though many are former military ( Read more... ) -
Surf and Turf
Tonight was my first Surf and Turf night here. Verdict? Yes, please.
Still no sign of my rucksack.
Tomorrow, yet another full day. I hope to sleep past 4am. But I am doubtful.
Low carb diet has me humming along.
Still have not inspected my violin from laziness. -
1st Entry From My Second Home
I have a bed. A room that is as wide as the bed is long. A broken TV sitting on a small refridgerator. A desk. A chair. A couple of shelves. A wardrobe with 4 drawers. A/C. Two trunks I mailed, a duffle bag and my carry on ( Read more... ) -

This journal will have a new purpose that reflects my new mission. Korea was a crazy hallucination with interesting aftereffects. It's time for reality.

I'm back. Or as Talib Kweli would say. Where you been, you back.
Welcome back. -
Trippin?
So I bought a sporty little car, a 2003 Hyundai Tusconi. Also found myself a pretty sweet apartment in Myeongdong, basically the shopping mecca and heart of downtown Seoul. Found a church I really like. Found a videographer that does great work, made me a great promo vid. Found a job...well, really it found me. Engineers on the Korea level staff ( Read more... ) -
El Mariachi
Just watched the last half hour of El Mariachi - just such a great movie. This past weekend, I went to Sotty's place to make beats, played violin at the jazz club birdland and rocked iron mic on sax. Carys came back from Malaysia and we stayed at the Marigold in Hongdae, then went to her friend Nevada's for barbecue - Nevada being the biggest ( Read more... ) -
