* sticky rice - fortune teller studies - falling *


the name of this sketch is in Korean, in red pen. I got my homegirl Sunny to make it up.  CHAL DOK GOONG HAP.  Its a combination of two words. One means *sticky rice*. The other means *marital harmony as predicted by a fortune teller* (i luv korean)


...random page outta my personal korean studies book...

*present day reason is an analogue of the flat earth of the medieval period;  if you go to far beyond it youre presumed to fall off      .   .   .*

Jammin with Korea



Thats my desk behind some of my homies....necessary clutter of course.

For momma- you asked if the leaves turn colors...

Couple of ma homegirlz. (english names Sally and Lisa)

English name is MARTIN... wise sense of humor- good chemistry with him.

Its a really good job sometimes.

Homemade halloween- no parental support so i respect these little dumplings.

His english name is GRANT. He behaves like nonother- but when I show that we can all let loose and get crazy he EATS IT UP..... hilarious chap.
