Lost Camera Lost Time

Hey everyone,

Sooo I have kind of lost my camera for the moment. Oops. I figure in the meantime, maybe you'd all enjoy some of my drawings instead?

These are drawn on the screen of a Nintendo DS. The game Brain Age will sometimes ask you to draw something "based on memory" and then compare your invariably ridiculous drawing to their own amazing photo-real version.


Please keep in mind that you cannot erase or undo when doing these drawings...

Wednesday.

Andy Warhol Campbells soup!


Everyday

For no reason, a few shots of my keys.


The thingy on the top is some ink trapped in some sort of liquid. Got it from a printing company somehow?? Maybe through my brother.


The three little cards I have: grocery store, pet store, gym.


My keys. I am quite happy with the starry night key.


This is for a Minneapolis thing called Nice Ride. Basically there are little stations with bikes in them all around the city, so you take one, ride where you need to go, and drop it off at another station. Really nice to have actually, since biking is so much faster than walking, but you still don't have to worry about parking! Plus the bikes are kept in good condition, and you don't have to worry about locking them up, or even about taking a bike back home at all if you don't want to.


Car keys.

Wednesday.

Had some leftover bulgogi and a bunch of veggies, so tried making some jungol, which basically means throwing all that together into a pot, I guess? Someday I'll know better maybe. This stuff wasn't bad though, but it tasted way better 2 days later.

Monday.

Got a new niece today.

Also on Sunday, I took a walk past Loring Park near our apartment, and there was this random pillow on the ground.

Sunday.

Went to an AK Connection-sponsored Chuseok celebration today, basically just ate some food and watched a movie, plus there was a teerrrible short little informational video about Chuseok. For some reason it had two white people with European accents doing the whole thing, and the only Korean people in it seemed to be dressed in hanbok(s?) doing traditional stuff. Karin and I had an interesting talk about why they felt it was so necessary to have white people presenting the video, when they didn't even speak very good English...

But anyway, it was hosted at a church and they were selling kimchi in giant glass jars. We didn't really need the kimchi, but we wanted to support the church, and the jar looked pretty useful, so we bought some.

Friday.

So I honestly don't remember when the exact day is (although I guess I should know things like that..), we celebrated my brother-in-law Nick's birthday today! Or I should say like, three Fridays ago.


We went out for happy hour and gave him his gifts: 1) The DVD's of Kimchi Chronicles (A PBS show on Korean food/culture), 2) the Kimchi Chronicles cookbook, 3) a bottle of soju, and 4) a squeeze bottle of gochujang, like the kind they have in restaurants for putting on bibimbap.

His favorite gift:

Tuesday.

I posted a little while ago about all the coffee shops that are in our neighborhood, so we decided to go take a walk again and try one out! Turns out the place we were at was kind of a biker bar, but for coffee, which was pretty interesting, and really kind of loud. But it was still fun.


Should've taken a picture of the actual place too, oops!

Everyday

Took this in the morning while making breakfast and lunch. It's not always sandwiches, but we seem to make soup a lot and it makes lunch pretty easy. This is on our kitchen table.

Monday.

So... I have a very large backlog here. I'm about one week shy of being an entire month behind. But, now I've uploaded all the pictures from the last few weeks and am ready to start posting! I may have forgotten sometimes why exactly a certain picture was from a certain day, or whatever, but hey, who really cares anyway haha.



So I'm not sure why I took this photo on Monday exactly, but i won the t-shirt (yay!) at a company picnic (pretty lame) at some point earlier, which is why it's so huge and also says Johnsonville on it. I laid it out on the floor, I guess to take this picture, and I looked away for I swear less than 5 seconds, and when I looked back our cat Quimby was on it. Of course.
