I've not made a big secret about the fact that I need to shop. Specifically, I'm looking for cheap crap for all my friends and coworkers. So, of course, we went to the most upscale mall around, and bought nothing. So far this blog could have been written in Korea or in NYC, and there would be no difference. Let's hope tonight turns out better. :: I've not really had time to write and post proper posts, so I've been composing some offline, and then posting when I can (the room with the internet connection is being used by my uncle and his wife, as Mom and I have apparently taken over their bedroom. We would prefer if the situation was reversed, but it would be rude to say anything since they made this decision). So look for backdated posts, they are actually the most recent.
