Why does everyone give me so much shit about my Ivory Tower? It's got a wonderful view, and it's legally zoned. Sure, it's ivory, but ivory happens to be one of the most earthquake safe building materials for towers, and is much safer than platinum or emerald towers. I'm just trying to think about the insurance premiums!
I hadn't heard of this show at all, and it probably would have been good if I hadn't. Just the thing to make my ulcer flare up again.
Seriously, I don't know where to begin.
Among human societies, there have been many homosexuals. According to the Bible, Jonathan fell in love with David, who beat off Goliath.
North Koreans Seen at Iranian Nuclear Reactor.
If I didn't know better, I would think it was guerrilla advertising for "Harold and Kumar 2". It's coming out next week, right?
I've been reading a recent issue of KOREA JOURNAL, which is focused on Korea's new thing about being a "multi-cultural society". I'll probably post on it a lot more after it's been digested, but for now I wanted to share a memory it provoked.

I don't know how long we'll stay that way, but this is now the Number 1 search result for "clever turtles"!
I knew the pornographic turtle orgy banner would work eventually!
The History of the World, according to students.
This is very much like the journal entries I read every day as an English teacher, but unfortunately for America these are all written by native-born, English-as-a-first-language American students.
I was trying to make an ID for a website and, discovering my usual handles were all taken, I thought I should try to make one related to my new field of Korean Literature.
So, I typed in, "klit_lover".
Fortunately I realized my mistake.
All asiaphiles know about Japanese otaku, but people often forget that there are no real limits to the subjects upon which an otaku subculture can attach to. They are often associated with manga, porn, and video games, but there are otaku for pretty much anything than anyone can consider mildly interesting. For example, I once saw a clip on Korean TV where the host went to a Japanese rubber-band gun convention. An entire convention for people who buy, sell, and make guns that shoot rubber bands.
If you're like me, you probably often lament the lack of stories that combine animistic religion with the details of medieval finance and commerce. Well, that's not a problem anymore!
I just finished watching the recent anime "Wolf and Spice", and it has everything! Currency speculation, trade wars, commodity investments, the conflict between pagan rituals and the advent of organized religion . . . In short, everything you always wanted from a fantasy story, but could never get due to the obsession with pedestrian topics like sorcery, demons, swordfights, and so forth.
