My Foray into Stardom

A couple months back, I was invited to participate in a music video by a local group here in town called Oh! Alchemy. Tony played keyboard with them during one of their recording sessions, and one of my coworkers plays bass with them occasionally. So, without further ado, here is the world premiere of "Capsized", for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoy!:




-Stinkier, starlet in training.


P.S. - I hate seeing myself in videos, so I will admit....I haven't seen it yet. I will, though!! I swear! Someday.......

P.P.S. - My coworker didn't make it to the video shoot. When I asked him why, he replied:

T: Well, I missed the turn to get to the house.
K: How? You take one road out of town and turn at the only light you see. There's a gas station at the corner too.
T: Yeah, I don't know how, but I missed it on the way there. A few miles past that intersection, I realized I must have passed it. I turned around and finally made it to the house but, when I did, I realized the shoot was well under way.
K: You still could have come! I was looking forward to seeing you there!
T: Yeah, I know, but I didn't want to mess things up. So I just got back in my car, headed to Kohl's, and bought a pair of pants.

Korean Music

In high school, I went through a phase where I completely embraced my Korean-ness. As an Asian teenager, this meant pretty much acting black. At the time, I thought it was completely normal, but looking back on it, I find it quite odd. It seems like Asians wanted to be known for being tough since the stereotype is having thick glasses, being a math whiz, and eating cats. Or dogs. So, us Asian teenagers wore baggy clothes, break danced (or attempted), and listened to rap/hip-hop.

Besides rap/hip-hop, there was a whole sub-genre of Korean music in that category. They had the most hilarious names like:

H.O.T. - 'High Five of Teenagers'
FinK.L - 'Fine Killing Liberty'
Drunken Tiger
1Tym
Sechs Kies - 'Six Kids' in German, I believe (I don't know why)

Hahaha! I kind of want to listen to them again! I wonder if I would like them or think that they were any good after all these years...kind of like watching He-Man or Thundercats as an adult; as a kid, I personally loved those shows, but watching them again...well, they're not quite as awesome as I remember. :)

So yeah, when I go home this Thursday, I might dig out my Korean music and wax nostalgic on the days when my pants were wide and my music funky.



-Stinkier, nostalgic.

Kit and Kaboodle

So yesterday, I saw the term "kit and kaboodle" for the very first time in print. For the past 27 years of my life, I thought this term was spelled out "kitten kaboodle".

Oops. :)

-Stinkier, embarrassed.

UPS Truck Myth

So you know how UPS trucks supposedly only make right turns? I thought this myth was confirmed during my traffic school visit when my instructor told us that he asked a UPS truck driver in his class if this was true. The guy said YES.

When I went to work today, I was in the left hand turn lane and what was in front of me? A UPS truck turning LEFT!! I tried to take a picture but, the light changed before I could grab my camera.

I'm speechless! This must have been one of those once in a lifetime moments!



-Stinkier, amazed.

Want a job with Obama?

Then head on over to his newest website and select the "Jobs" link!


Doesn't say what specific job you can apply for and it only asks for the bare minimum information from you. After all, as with any job, it's not what you know, but who you know. So even if you do apply, chances are, you're not going to hear from them. ;)

I think I might apply for fun....

-Stinkier, changely (can't think of an '--ly' word that incorporates the word 'change' so I'm making up my own!)
