These wall decals by Blik look pretty cool. You haven’t seen my Korean apartment yet, but it has a very open minimalist ambiance. I dont want to clutter it with things on the wall and these might be a cool way to give it some flavor. Hmmm…
When my iPod dies, I dont think I’ll go back to another iPod. I might go with something like the Cowon 02 or something more open source. I’ll blog about why later. It has to do with my modded Nintendo DS.
Here’s my school webpage. Using Firefox, it looks like garbage, because every Korean website was built with IE in mind.
If you don’t know, Korean soju is Japan’s sake. I’ve heard of soju cocktails, and I’ve thought about trying to make some.
I found a blog that revolves around… homebrewing beer in Korea. I need to do some more researching on the topic of homebrewing as I’d like to get my feet wet.
On Friday, I left the school without downloading any videos. I have no internet at my apartment. Therefore, today and all Mondays, I’ll probably be sucking up the internet with my torrents. I need to download my regular shows like Survivor, and check out some old shows I’ve missed.
Listening to The Eagles of Death Metal – Heart On.

Sunday, Mom and I took the long road to Hermann, MO. All this month, they have Oktoberfest activities. The city has a large German presence in the city’s history, and it’s located in wine county. Picking a winery from the tourist center is like picking a color palette from Home Depot. It’s overwhelming with so many options.
......
After the tourist center, we headed to Tin Hill brewery. This is the smallest brewery that I’ve toured. It spans only a half block. Entering the building, they have a long bar with all of their beverages for sample purchase. Down the hallway, they have a self-guided tour. Visitors can see the tanks behind closed doors and read about the brewing process. There is, also, a gift shop and food options next door. I sampled 6 of Tin Hill’s beers and ate the German platter, which included a brat, red cabbage, and potato salad.
(Rant: Ok. When people order brats, especially Oktoberfest brats, there should be no special orders. Every brat should have sauerkraut and spicy mustard on it. Period. If you don’t like sauerkraut; Too Bad! No Brat 4 U! If you don’t like spicy mustard; Tough Shit! If someone even thinks about adding ketchup, they should get a kick in the head. If they cant enjoy how a brat was meant to be, than they should GTFO. It pains me when I hear people ordering like this.)

By popular demand, here are the brewing photos. I would have taken more photos after lunch, but my batteries died and there was Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog to be watched.

Follow the Hobbit Trail and you’ll find Hobbit Beach. A place where the air is cool, the sand is wet, and the water is chilly willy.
