Veggie Vember

Although it's hard to believe, I've been on a vegetarian diet for the past 20 days or so. The backstory to it is that on a caffeine-fueled brainstorm session Mike and I came up with a goal each month to try and make us live a bit healthier/better. Right now we're in 'Veggie Vember', next is 'Decembercise' and January is devoted to productivity. The name is some Stalin reference that Mike thought up and I still can't manage to remember. Mike had the notion of turning it into a billion-dollar self-help book and seminar enterprise. "Changing Your Life One Month at a Time". He was more than a little crushed when he discovered that it had already been done. So vegetarianism has been the focus of this month. It actually hasn't been as tough as I thought it would be. Especially since Mike has been the one cooking all of the meals. Everybody has something to say when they hear you're going vegetarian. You've either massively offended them at the notion of giving up meat or you've accepted their lord and saviour and they will fanatically tout the wonders of vegetarianism to keep you a convert.

Halloween was an interesting experience. After winning a costume contest at a local bar and using the winnings (bar tab) to start the night off with a line-up of shots, things progressed in a natural order. We went down to Kyungsung for the night, which ended up being the largest grouping of white people since Mudfest back in July.

 Was a good night, however Sunday was an all-day hurt.


Almost done my second painting here. This one is a little more Asian and turning out really well. I'll try and get it posted on here or facebook by the end of the week.
Anyways, thats all for now!
