Lime’s words a few minutes ago, after checking her grades on the Medical Licensing Exam, were, “Oh my God!” or something close to that. For the record, she was bouncing around with a smile on her face, so I guess she meant it in a good way. Dr. Lee. She did it. :) (For those wishing to congratulate her, you could do it on her site or, well, she’ll see whatever people write here, too.)
Month: January 2006
Hellohellohellohellooooooooooooo.
Yeah, camp is wearing on me. Wait, I think it’s the accumulated effect of four full camps, with this one being the least-well-organized, that is wearing on me.

Taxi Blues and Other Dabang News
Here’s some surprising news! Myoung Jae, with whom I used to play in the Dabang Band, informed me that a film that played at the Busan film festival, titled Taxi Blues, is being prepared for general release in Korea. The film features a snippet of the band’s performance of the original song “Taxi Blues” (one of Myoung’s babies) as well as having the whole song play over the closing credits.
