Over the weekend, I went back to Daegu and visited some old friends. I brought back my desktop PC, and I set it up last night. I’m still going to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu Linux on it. However, I need to get the internet in my apartment up and running. Then, I’ll be satisfied.
I think I’ll be buying my beerkit soon. Apparently, my Daegu friend has already tried one of the Korean kits. He made me a list of the things I’d need to puchase with the kit, and he told me about his tribulations.
Also, I’m wondering “What happened to this guy?” When I first met him in Korea, he was planning his Tran-Siberian trip. He loved exploring. He was blogging. But since he returned to Korea, he seems so institutionalized (if that’s the right word). He has no real desire to try anything new or break out of his daily routine. He doesn’t blog anymore. He wants to change jobs, but he doesn’t want to leave the neighborhood. He has a girlfriend, and I know she’s a factor. (The way he acted around her made me gag.) For some reason, the flame is burning out on him.
I may have found an iTunes work around. (You remember my previous gripe about the mp3 players.) The solution may be YamiPod. It’s a small application that will run off the iPod and allow you to have functional access to your iPod library. I’ll test it out tonight.
I finished playing Sonic Chronicles on the Nintendo DS. Man, that was brutal. I finished playing the game for the sake of finishing it, but it wasn’t that fun. The gameplay, the battles, and story were all weak. Time to try something new.
I can’t wait for the new WordPress 2.7 update. This is the blog software I use. The new dashboard looks cleaner, more efficient, and functional than its current state.
Today, I’m going to hit E-Mart or Lotte for some pepero. I’ve heard stories of Korean teachers seizing pepero in the classroom. But I’ll hand some out to the cool kids.
Lastly, I was watching a TV program, and they were baking a large cookie. Or I thought they were baking a large cookie. They were putting cookie dough in a pan, but actually they were putting cookie dough on top of a cake. It was cookie dough for icing! Why didn’t I think of that? Cookie dough icing, YUM!

I still haven’t gotten into the full features of YamiPod, but briefly I was able to download music from my iPod to my computer, which iTunes wont allow you to do. This could be a really useful tool. It can run off your iPod, so you can use it anywhere you go.
I started playing Mario & Luigi Partners in time. It had good reviews on Metacritic. I didn’t know that it was an RPG game. Already, the game mechanics play better than Sonic chronicles. And this was made in 2005.
I, now, have functioning internet at my apartment. It’s not lightning fast, but it will get me through the weekends.
