Super Sweet Day
1) I got to see Jodi and Nick last night, my favourite married couple from Toronto, including a trip to Pizza Hut - the finest in Korean cuisine.
2) My friend Daniella is here, so hopefully I can see her on the weekend. It sounds like she might live in a more user-friendly part of Korea, meaning access to food, etc, so I'm kind of jealous... However, it sounds like she's doing a lot of crying about missing home, so maybe I'll avoid her for a few months.
3) This site is getting a ridiculous number of hits because of my Lonelygirl15 post. Two hundred visitors a day is more hits than I've ever gotten on any website I've had, so I sort of feel special.... You know what's worse? The most successful website any of my friends ever had was a poetry site! That's right, my friend Cindy Wells had a poetry website in high school that had 10,000 visitors a day... My friend Lee Mellor had a very successful serial killers site,too. (They could have made a mint these days with google adsense. )
4) People are reminiscing about Willow, the greatest movie ever made by George Lucas.
5) I get paid tomorrow! My first full paycheque, so I can't wait to see whether the contract I signed was actually legally binding or whether the fine print has put me in poverty in a region of the world I know nothing about.
6) I have a new fake name - Timothy Kornzer. I'll probably get into more detail later about why I dropped the "Blatchford" (including disapproval from the REAL Blatchford). I got the new name from a mispelling of my name by a student, and I thought it had a nice ring to it... Either Kornzer or Korzner, I'm not sure what sounds better. Doesn't it sound Jewish? Could that be a postive or negative? All commentary welcome .

Haha, I eat enough Korean food, and I'm not eating those little fishes or any more fishcake. That stuff is nasty.
Dried Seaweed though? Mmm.

MMM, no, I'm not down with the spicy, so Kim Chi was a non-starter with me... although I do eat some when it's put in front of me.
It's hard to eat Korean when they do American stuff even better over here!

First off, you must tell the story of the name change.
Second, I prefer Korzner.
Third, I will not comment on how Jewish it sounds.
However, I will say that if people think you're Jewish because of the name, you'll be free to write nasty things about Israel and/or Jews and they'll think you're just a self-hating Jew and not a bigot.
Depending on your desire to use your blog to spread anti-semetic messages, that could be an upside.

I just found out my friend is getting married. Her fiancee proposed in Italy, where they are currently vacationing. They've been dating since 2000. I remember their first date.
I've taken to using facial creams in order to maintain the elasticity of my skin. I'm starting to decay.
I made that blue arty picture of you in the asian mall my computer background. It replaces a picture of a half-naked man (I won't share which half was which) lying across a blue pick-up truck.
I also prefer Korzner. More of a ring to it.

I agree.
Korzner is probably better... So my student wasn't dead on with the name change, but she was close enough.
