Kimchi, not for me

I have an amazing picture of old men talking in this characteristic squat which will lead me to then discuss the amazing differences in flexibility between native Asians (hope that's as unoffensive as possible, I did try hard) and...most of the rest of the world, BUT my computer is being at least slightly stupid, and I'm tired, so I'm going to bed right now. I also have a great picture of a squat pot, which will lead me to tell the story that spawned the idea of the "squat pot spotter" (right now, say it 10 times fast). But alas...another day, I promise.

In other quick news, I got a package today from Haley and it was AMAZING. She sent me benadryl (which is the drug of choice as a Daive-sedative when needed), smell-good spray, a shirt for me, a sweater for the dog that looks GREAT (you've seen the pictures, you know most colors just don't work for her), dog treats, and even a bag of treats and a toy for the cat (in her letter she wrote "even bad cats play"). AND (drumroll please) a pair of Crocs! My life just went to a whole new level. I've been sporting a few pair of generic (extremely generic) croc-type shoes that are soft and cushy and lightweight like Crocs, but unlike Crocs, are not slip-resistant, and built the bottom of the shoe with a suction cup like thing to help keep your balance on wet and/or slippery surfaces. The shoes, while comfy, are dangerous (nearly taken a few bad falls in them) and embarrassing on wet days, as I walk down the street making nearly-obscene noises because of the suction-thingy. In dry weather though, I call them my superhero shoes, cause it sounds like I could walk up a building in them. Overall though, they're pretty crappy. The actual Crocs exceed all my expectations.

Also watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with Kylie and Donovan tonight. Anyone else seen the movie and read the book? If so, what'd you think? I thought it was a little choppy, but that's probably just because you can't fit five books into a movie...and the books have so much great and hilarious stuff in them. It was a good movie though...better than I expected. And now, off to bed for real. Night all.
