Korean Food



Ok, I'm not sure what it is, but I have become completely obsessed with Korean food. After eating Korean food everyday for three weeks on my trip I want nothing else...Kimchi jjigae, Jampong, tteokbokgi, gimbap, samgyeopsal, pork bulgogi, mandu, sundae, and more. I can't seem to get enough. It is really great cuisine. There is nothing deep fried or oily like here in the US. Korean food is mostly made with natural ingredients so, it has a lot of appeal. It's also spicy, which I love. Unfortunately, I do not live very near a Korean restaurant so I am not getting Korean food as often as I would like.

New Music



Asobi Seksu is one of my new favorite bands. Their self titled album has to be one of the best albums front to back that I've heard in a long time. I don't care that it's two years old, it gets my vote for album of the year. They remind me of My Bloody Valentine, the Lost in Translation Soundtrack, old Stereolab, and a darker version of saint etienne. "Walk on the moon", which I haven't been able to get out of my head for days, and "Stay" are my favorite tracks.
Their newest album, Citrus, is also pretty good. My favorite track is "Thursday".
