Shotgun Posts: Death, Fashion, The Blues, and a New Phone
DEATH
Former Major League MVP Ken Caminiti died on the same day as Christopher Reeve. Medical examiners have determined that Caminiti’s heart attack was caused by a drug overdose. The official cause of death was “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of cocaine and opiates with contributing factors that included coronary artery disease and … an enlarged heart.” From 1996 Major League MVP to coffin in 8 years.
JUICY FASHION
“Casual fashion” in Pusan these days consists of wearing sweatpants with various words and/or pictures plastered across the backside. Union Jack flags, country names (Italy seems to be popular for some reason), brand names, etc. I am the first to admit that I am certainly not in any position to be commenting on people, their fashion sense, and their judgment in displaying their fashion sense. However, I just somehow feel that THIS is wrong:
THE BLUES
Amidst complaints that the content of my blog is lacking the bite it used to have, I offer the explanation that with an increased work burden this past summer and fall, I have been spending more time involved in cathartic, relaxing, stress-releaving activities such as hammering out the Workin’ In Korea Blues:
NEW PHONE
I have a new phone and a new service provider. I stuck with the useless and sub-part LG Telecom for nearly 9 years. But I quit. Their utter lack of benefits, poor reception, inability to roam internationally with the same phone and number, and crappy model selection finally became too much to bear. I am now armed with my sleek Samsung SPH-E3200 and KTF’s service. I’m eagerly awaiting my KTF card. If you don’t have my new number and think you need it or want it, send me an email.
