Some goals

1. Eat healthy, exercise, lose some weight.

2. Survive this semester.

3. Find my way to Berkeley...

Oh procrastination...

Some pleasant hats

San Jose Sharks

Los Angeles Kings

Toronto Blue Jays
Arizona Diamondbacks

Anaheim Angels
Hanshin Tigers

Taeyang's new single. He rocks at white Hanshin fitted somewhere near the middle.

An actual use for autotune?

There seems to be a trend lately on Youtube of taking people simply speaking (absurd or not) and transforming it into "musical works" of some sort. Hilarious if not anything else.

Also, these are simply beautiful:

I Worry Too Much

Amazing! Amazing!

Today I went to:

Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles!

It was pretty darn amazing.

Almost Back to School

Flying back to the 'Herst in a couple of days so I'm pretty excited. I've pretty much decided to start saving up for a Hanshin Tigers cap for once I go back to Japan in the spring. I'm also hoping that post graduation will bring a move to San Francisco or somewhere else in The Bay, which in turn will mean I'll just have to pick up a Giants cap (what can you do eh?).

Spent a large part of the day lazing around and looking through various uniforms from the Korean and Taiwanese baseball leagues and came across the fact that New Era is now producing fitteds for the Korean Baseball Organization. Very Cool. Sadly, none of the hats are particularly...how should I say this...endearing?

*Note: Korean teams, as their counterparts in Japan and Taiwan, tend to be named for their sponsor company rather than the city they represent.

LG Twins

(This is probably my favorite out of all of the KBO caps and it's starting to grow on me a little. I'm actually thinking about seeing if I can find one somewhere... [They're based in Seoul]).

KIA Tigers

Doosan Bears

Lotte Giants

Samsung Lions

Hanwha Eagles
SK Wyverns

Woori Heroes

(I remember the last time I was in Korea, someone was nice enough to take me to a baseball game (If I remember correctly it was a match between the LG Twins and the Hyundai Unicorns [Now the Woori Heroes] and I just remember being tickled to death that anyone would name their team the "Unicorns". I was consequently dissapointed at the lack of utterly hilarious merchandise and now I guess the opportunity has since passed as they've changed their name.)

Goodbye Unicorns :[

Also found this picture of an old Samsung Lions uniform floating around the internet...I have to say that I'm quite fond of it.

All in all, the summer's been quite kind to me. Home, DC, Tokyo, San Francisco...I'd say I had a pretty satisfying run.

It all comes to an end...

Long time not substantial post.

Let's have a go at this now then...shall we?

There's a little over six days until I officially get on a plane back to school. Should be very exciting to see faces I haven't seen in what seems like ages and quite frankly (although this sentence may in the end prove to be a run on) my life here at home has been somewhat less than satisfactory although ultimately I am probably the main root of that complication (it doesn't help though that I've been relegated to living in the guest room).

Overall the summer's been pretty amazing. It's had its ups and downs, and I've done some things that I'm less than proud of, but the experience in general has been fantastic.

I'm quite happy with the state of things.
