Same, my friends and I used to go there all the time in college and I don't think any of us knew about this!

First, I think this is THE longest single-page article I have ever read on my phone. That was painful.

Those are absolutely beautiful. If my husband didn’t hate them I’d totally adopt a few. :(

I read somewhere that he got so into the role that he actually did develop a bit of a stutter for a while, which he then had to fix.

My mother introduced me to I, Claudius when I was in high school and I fell in love with it. I was already a firmly established Trekkie by then, too, so I probably would have watched it even sooner except that my mother forgot Stewart was in it.

My in-laws own a fruit store, and we’ve been eating SO MUCH WATERMELON this year. This will be a nice change.

I inherited a set of those cacti margarita glasses (plus a GIANT one that I guess is a centerpiece?) from my grandmother when she died. She’d gotten them as a gift for her own wedding and I guess decided that they were perfect to pass on to her 10-year-old granddaughter.

I've seen a bunch of these in Seoul, too.

Astrobaked!

I don't think I've thrown away apple peels in almost three years, for the simple reason that my dog LOVES them. He knows the sound of an apple being picked up and will come running from any room in the house to demand his share.

I learned the Korean alphabet on my lunch break in high school; it really is super easy. Being able to pronounce it so that you don’t sound like a total Amurrican is a different matter, though. Some people pick it up pretty easily, while others can live here 10 years and still sound like they’re fresh off the boat. If…

My husband and I are considering moving in with my parents for a while when we go (back) to America within the next couple of years. We don’t intend for it to be permanent, but job-hunting and (re-)transitioning into American life is going to be difficult enough without house-hunting on top of it all, so it’s…

My father was a wedding singer in his younger years, back when we lived in Indianapolis. He wasn’t the band leader, but he was the lead guitarist and one of three lead vocalists (it was a big band). They were pretty in-demand and always had at least one, oftentimes two, or sometimes even three gigs per weekend. I got…

Here in Korea we’re having a MERS outbreak in a bunch of major hospitals. It’s mostly contained now, but all of the new patients were contracting it in the hospitals, in spite of quarantines and doctors wearing head-to-toe hazmat suits. Only a few people caught it outside, so now pretty much the whole country is…

So I have a steak question that feels appropriate for this post.

I think it's pretty unlikely, since a lot of people could argue that it's already been done with Schindler's List.

The cat we had growing up was an indoor-outdoor cat. Out neighborhood was a new development in the middle of the woods, so there weren’t a lot of other cats around yet and there were plenty of small animals to entertain him. The neighbors affectionately called him The Mouser and were sad when we moved away because…

Growing up I was always told that my family was middle class, that the luxuries I saw around us were “luck” or “a good deal.” The big house? A combination of my father’s real estate savvy and a seller eager to close. The two classic cars in addition to our family cars? Gifts/bought cheaply from friends. My dad’s…

Well I got married in another country, and they have really lax rules on marriage registration.

I got married in shorts and my husband wore jeans. We had no one with us because our witnesses just signed a form like two days prior.
