das boot

so ... as many of you know, i'm in a cast and i have to navigate the streets of korea on a pair of crutches. let me tell you, crutches are hard enough in general, add korea's mountains/hilly roads, sweltering heat, 10000% humidity, typhoon winds! (yes, real typhoons), and rude korean pedestrians and it's just that much worse!

the pros:

- i always get a seat when it comes to public transportation,
- my supervisors don't send me on errands to other floors

- i take extra long lunches to go to the doctor's office

- i just get pity from everyone wherever i go.

the cons:

- random people who also use handicap facilities (aka senile old people) always strike up conversation that i don't really care to partake in

- i can't really leave the confines of my desk

- i have to go to the doctor's office instead of the gym during my lunch hour

- i am a leper

basically i got hurt on vacation, just being the idiot that i am. jumping picture FAIL!!!!

this is what the picture should have looked like ...

uhm yea. i'm awesome. i know.

picture fail. foot fail. life fail.

got this damn boot instead. i'm awesome.

hope you all had a good laugh at my expense. on the bright side, i finally signed the lease to my apartment! updates on that soon to come.

no oven? no time? no problem!

i found this recipe online at www.newdressaday.wordpress.com

it's perfect for those people without ovens ... or time ... or patience!

i've never made it before. someone make it and let me know if it's any good! =)

enjoy!

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (Microwave Safe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly before pouring in the milk and oil in. Keep mixing. Add the optional chocolate chips next (who makes that an option!) and vanilla extract, and mix again…

Mmm, cake batter!

Put your mug in the micro wave and cook for three minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed! Allow it to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

This is too easy!!

EAT ! (this can serve two if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

OSM!! (Optional Sharing Method!)

a light on a hill

She whispers to me I was meant to be free,
this life that we built is deadly.
She crawls from my bed, runs a comb cross her head.
She crawls to the train and drives herself home.

love.

i'm somehow managing to stay awake at work on only 3 hours of sleep.

miracle? no.
insane amounts of coffee? yes!

words of the wise: don't stay out till 4 am on a school night kiddies. bad news bears. luckily i didn't have much to do at work today. i was bored and browsing some of my favorite blogs when i came across these goodies.

i want it. i need it. oh baby. oh baby.

a little somethin' somethin' to spice up your morning. ;)

this is for my fellow world travelers.
you scratch my map and i'll scratch yours.

my heart just skipped a beat.
