    The Ban

    by  • June 29, 2004 • WTF

    So this is a post about Korea, which I usually file under “Gord’s Life” which I intend on splitting into other categories later. But anyway, the thing I’m writing about is political.

    People Far Away Now In My Faraway Neighborhood

    by  • June 25, 2004 • WTF

    Roganda asks: Who are the people in your neighborhood? The people that you meet each day? That is, 5 people who are neither friend nor family member, and whose name you may or may not know, but whom you see everyday or thereabouts, e.g. your paperboy, local bum, milkman, etc. This is especially tough...
