That’s right, it’s what I’ve been saying all along and now thanks to some scientists in Ireland, you’ll finally believe me: Sex is better for your health than no sex. At least, The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it’s harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex, by contrast, confers a host of measurable physiological advantages, be you male or female. And health is important. So there. Sob. Well, thanks for the link, Adam.

Chinese Space
I just read an article over at Salon about the Chinese space program. Did you know that they finally launched a man into space? No kidding: they did it in the Gobi desert today! Against a clear blue sky, China fired its first astronaut into orbit without any visible hitches Wednesday, becoming only the third nation capable of manned spaceflight. The government said the mission was going smoothly and its “taikonaut” radioed back: “I feel good.” Now, I predict that this will bring about comparisons about the poor kid who never got a bicycle till he was 14, and rode …
Swimming and Space Fashion
Tonight I started swimming again, after work, and that was pretty uneventful except for some cute kids taking lessons and their teacher who was REALLY hassling them. He kept teasing them about being scared and then reassuring them they’d be okay. And of course they were. But when I left the pool, I heard a REALLY loud ruckus coming from over where the students are holding their festival. Loud, sexy music… what else could it be, but… YES! A FASHION SHOW! Now, this may surprise you. I used to hate fashion shows in Canada, I hated them with a passion. …
What are you do this day?
Test going on beside me. “What are you do this day?” “Ungh… eodeoggae?” ((((((((Uh… how can I….?)))))))) “I’m to go…” “I’m go to fitness club.” “Oh! That sound is great! How do you like it?” “It’s great.” “.” “.” “Edodeoggae?” ((((((((How the heck….?)))))))) “Eong, edodeoggae?” ((((((((Yeeeeeeeeah… how….?)))))))) Okay, it’s made up but the quality level is about the same. The testers before were a lot better, they had the whole conversation memorized… I’m damn sure if I had a Korean class in high school I’d have been doing better than that in my sophomore college classes. Actually, I was, in …
Wow! We DO Rock?!?
Not bad for a bunch of ajeoshis. We placed 3rd in the local K-Rock Festival auditions, meaning our band will advance to the 2nd round, and play a song in Seoul in November, competing for a chance to play in the K-Rock festival in December. For having placed in the audition, I am told, we will get 500,000 won, which is about $600.00 Canadian. Band money exists again! Nice, as we’re talking about the next album already. And here I was thinking the heavy metal girls in the tight clothes jiggling their tender bits would be a shoe-in for prize …
