But how am I going to make money?
Thursday is going to be my last day at Cooking.com. It’s been a pretty enjoyable time working there, but I’m definitely not going to miss all the traffic I had to drive through. I still haven’t heard when I’m going back to Korea, so I don’t know why I decided to quit, but whatever. I’ll at least have some time to do nothing for a while.

Finally, vindication.
It’s been a rough time playing Magic the Gathering. About a month ago I played in my first tournament and had a decent turn out. Since then, it’s been a month of straight frustration. I’ve been dropping money on cards that haven’t helped, changing strategies, and just flat out losing matches. However, today I dropped twenty on cards, sleeved them up, and went to...

I gave money to a bum on a freeway exit.
Bum: Thanks man.
Me: No worries.
Bum: The girl driving the Mini Cooper in front of you is very beautiful. You should stay behind her and find out where she lives or something.
Me: Haha... wait, what?

I've been reading American comics.
I haven’t really read many American comics in the past. I’m all over manga and Korean manhwa, but never really any of the DC or Marvel stuff, only a few random arcs here and there when there was nothing else to do. My iPad and all the time I have make it so easy to read comics though. I’m already halfway through Marvel Civil War, which is a story arc that crosses a bunch of...

It's game day.
It’s now been a week after my humbling defeat last week at Friday Night Magic and today I’m going back for more. I’ve switched up the cards in my deck and I picked up the cards I need to round out my deck through the week so now I think I’m ready. The deck box is in my bag, I have my dice in my pocket, and I even have the goblin war paint on.
If I lose bad today,...

Now I'm actually really worried.
It’s getting closer and closer to February and with every day that goes by, I get a little more and more nervous. Right now, the issue is getting my FBI background check. There was some issue with the payment, so now it’s going to take a little while longer. Another thing is that I haven’t heard about placement, which might hinge on me getting that fucking background check...

There's a new zodiac sign! →
I’m not a huge one on Zodiac signs, but apparently I’m a Cancer now. I’m alright with that, since it doesn’t really matter to me. Everyone’s getting mad about how their sign changed, but they’re all missing the big picture. What’s really important is that there’s a new sign. It’s a like a new species of Pokemon has appeared.

Anime Los Angeles 2011
Anime Los Angeles was held over the weekend. I missed last year’s since I was in Korea, but I did go to the 2007, 2008, and 2009 conventions. In 2010, they moved the convention to the LAX Marriott and it was a pretty good move. All in all, the convention was pretty well organized and there were a decent amount of people.
There wasn’t too much going on the day that I went. I only...

I got worked.
I went to my first Friday Night Magic last night. I didn’t really know what to expect, nut apparently it’s competitive as fuck. I had four matches and I didn’t win any of them. I’m pretty fucking pissed, but whatever. I saw a lot of different deck builds and I got some solid advice on my own shit, so I’m only going to get better. It sucks that I’m taking...

An interesting fact about Mark Harmon
Mark Harmon, probably best known for his lead role as Detective Gibbs in NCIS, once saved the lives of two teenage boys by using sledge hammer to smash through the windshield of a burning car and pulling out the two passengers.

Anime Los Angeles is this weekend.
It’s probably the only other anime convention in California besides Anime Expo and since I’m not going to that, I’ll be attending this. I went a few years ago and I had fun. It’s getting better every year too. I haven’t really looked at the event schedule for this year and I haven’t really been keeping up with what’s going on so I don’t know what...

I'll be back in Korea soon.
I just got some of my documents apostilled for Korea and I’m about to mail them in. The thought of getting back to Korea is finally starting to settle in. It’s a little exciting really. Granted, I’m not as nervous about it as I was the first time, but now that it’s getting closer and closer to February I am getting a little worried. For one thing, I haven’t been...

Goals for 2011:
Save money - It’s not like I haven’t been saving money or anything, but I know that I can save more. The real reason behind managing my funds is for when I eventually tour Asia in 2012 when my contract in Korea ends.
Enjoy Korea - I did travel this past year, but I didn’t see a lot of Korea. Part of it was because I knew I was going to be in Korea another year, but the...

Important things in my life during 2010:
I saw a lot of shit and went to a lot of places. This time last year I was in the Philippines and then went to Japan after that. Then in the summer I went to Taiwan. It was nice to get the chance to see some of the world and try out a few things.
I didn’t get into grad school. I’m not actually bitter about this. I think that things turned out for the best that I...
