Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3… Earlier today, a discussion with my Clarion West classmate Maura reminded me that I still hadn’t set up the crossposting function that would copy my WordPress posts over to my LiveJournal. Would that LJ’s architecture were such that this weren’t necessary, but apparently, for the moment, it is if I want to see what comments LJ users are making, without forcing them to hop over to my blog. So I’ve installed a plugin to do just that. This means you can read my posts at three places now. On my site, on the LJ feed …

Solvjaynghi (Continued)
Over the weekend, I made some progress on “Solvjaynghi’s Christmas Wish”, but perhaps more than I’d like… I finished the redraft, and all the parts are basically in the right places, but the story is now close to 8000 words, which is roughly how long it was when I first drafted the unwieldy epistolary version of it a couple of Christmases ago. I’d say that more than anything, the “writing soundtrack” I used says a lot about this story. I was listening to things like Atari Teenage Riot, The Orientalist (download available at that link!), and Boards of Canada. If …
Writing Update
I’m back in the saddle of writing, though having to pace myself — class preparation needs time, and I’m trying not to shove it aside completely just because I’m on a roll… though I may finish my (re)draft of Solvjangyi’s Christmas Wish tonight, perhaps. (We’ll see if the roll holds out that long.) I’m currently at 4900 words out of a projected 5000 words, and I’m at the very outset of the end of the story. It’ll probably work out to 6000 words of draft, in fact, but with some judicious editing and reworking, I should be able to get …
Me! Me! Me! (Meme!)
Ritu posted a meme where she answered five questions, and then invited others to ask her for five questions for them to answer. I asked for questions, and here they are: 1. How do you perceive yourself? Hmmm. What a terribly dangerous question. It’s dangerous because in some ways, I find I’m a tiny bit of a cipher to myself, if you know what I mean. I know how I feel about things, and what I think about things, but as far as how I perceive myself… well, my feeling now is, uh, keunyang, I guess? I am who I …
Corea and Burton, Live in Seoul
Well, last weekend Lime and I went to the concert to which she got me tickets for my birthday. That show was the Chick Corea and Gary Burton live show in Seoul, March 10th. The show was pretty good, really, but there was something about it that was a little underwhelming. I mean, let’s face it, Chick Corea knows what he’s doing at the piano. Yet some of it felt a little, I don’t know, phoned in, or maybe emailed in. No, wait, that’s not quite fair either. It’s also just partly something about Chick Corea. He’s one of those …
