Tumblr App Update
The new UI looks a lot like the FourSquare UI. I like swiping to the advanced features. I may be wrong but the letterbox mode is new, which is a nice addition if it is. Looks like a good update. My only complaint is they didn't make it a universal app. I loaded the upgrade to my iPad and while it looks okay, there is still a need for a iPad version for Tumblr, and I can't imagine why they didn't develop this upgrade into a universal app.
What am I doing on my summer vacation...
So I saw this book in Seoul awhile ago and immediately bought it. I've been hiking a lot in Korea, but I hadn't known this trail existed before I saw this book.
So what is the Baekdu Daegan Trail? The trail extends for 735 KM from Jiri Mountain (1,915 meters) in the south to the Hyangno-bong near the DMZ in the north. It follows the ridge line that forms the backbone of the Korean peninsula.
I do not have enough time to complete the whole trail on my vacation, but I plan on 20 days of hiking along the trail. It will end up being around 35% of the trail.

I knocked out the first draft of my writing project last night and finished my first edit of it today. I'm very glad to have finally finished it (actually I'm pretty ecstatic), and now I don't want to think about it for at least a week. After that, I'll listen to what my closest critics say about it, and then go about working on a final draft.

So I’ve not been contributing to this blog as much as I had in the beginning. The reason is that I am working on writing a story about an event that happened to me in Korea. This is a project that I started weeks ago. I thought I could use it for the Metatalks writing that is going on, but I also started it because someone I recently met here in Korea asked me to write something as well. Her idea was to get a range of stories of experiences from expats that live and work in Korea and make a kind of anthology out of it. I was taken by the idea and seeing as it also fulfilled a desire of mine to write something for Metatalks. I am happy to say that I am very close to finishing the first draft. I actually hope to finish it before Sunday.
Lingering in the back of my mind whilst I have been working on this, though, are all the things I have not been doing. It seems that I am only able to focus on one project at a time because of time constraints. I think I may have said this before, but it was not like this last year, and I find myself very short of free time this year because of a change in my work schedule. There are (still!) pictures from Bhutan I have not edited and posted; pictures from my road trip last week that I have not edited and posted; the very steady addition of content to my poetry website has completely stopped for a number of weeks now; and the poetry book project has not even started and is weeks and weeks behind where I wanted it to be as well.
All right I’ll stop, but you see what’s happening. There are a lot of things I’d like to be doing, including adding more here, but the time is not there. I expect this continue for at least the rest of the school year. (Though I may have time during vacations!) So if you if you are wondering what happened to me because there is nothing new here, well you know that I am just working on something deep in my Fox Den, and will resurface as soon as I have time to bring my attention back here.

I thought this was just the most amazing episode to date. Wonderful and hard to watch at the same time. Seeing Melissa Leo just reach inside herself for her performance in this episode was just incredible to watch. And the music... How can you not watch this show if love music? The range of diversity with the absolute joy with which it is performed is pure addictive pleasure.

Opened this tonight. Bought it as it was on sale. Found it so nice I drank half the bottle.
Edit: okay, I've had the whole bottle now. Buddhist Fox is DOW (drunk on wine)
In the cafe this morning writing. I [insert Ingrid Michaelson here:] love, love, love [/song] IA Writer for my iPad. You can kind of see a screen shot here. It has a mode where you can see about the last 6 lines you've written -- three lines are grayed out and three lines are in the normal black print. I like this because I find it suggests progression instead of looking back. For me, this is very important especially in a first draft. I want to get most everything down before I start to edit it. I know I can dawdle and edit to my heart's content when I'm done, but for me this is mostly a time and attention sink during the drafting phase. I say mostly, because occasionally I will go back and re-word something or add something that was in my head, but forgot to put where I wanted it, etc. Almost always, though, these changes are in the last 3 -6 lines anyway.
I'm presently working on a story about an experience I had in Korea. Potentially it's for a collection of stories all written by native speakers working here. Anyway, my goal for today was to get to the 1,000 word mark, and I completed that goal. I'm guessing I'm about half done.

But my inner worrywart wonders whether the new technologies overtaking us may be eroding characteristics that are essentially human: our ability to reflect, our pursuit of meaning, genuine empathy, a sense of community connected by something deeper than snark or political affinity.

"The Twitter Trap"
“Why you should support independent art.”
Really?! There’s really no exact matches for this anywhere on the Internet?
I’m finding this very hard to believe.
I just uploaded a bunch of edited photographs from the Seoul Lantern Parade. Click on the photo to take you to the complete Flickr set.
So happy! I absolutely love this show.
Does anyone else think this sounds like some kind of precursor to a weird zombie movie? Double checking my zombie evacuation plan just in case!
