takin' a break

just back from an epic vacation to seorak-san in the northeastern corner of korea. truly magestic. one of the most breathtaking places i have ever been. but also one of the most excruciatingly difficult mountains i've ever hiked. jim and i are definitely broken from the climb and descent. but oh the stories we have to tell. today is a day of recovery. finally back in gwangju after 12 hours of traveling yesterday (a typhoon hit japan which caused a pretty intense storm where we were on the end of the week-long vacation for the entire country of korea...have you ever seen a traffic jam 60 km long becuase of a rest stop?? seriously.)

checking email and bopping around on the web. found this gem that is definitely givin' me a feeling. thought i'd share it. it's a priceless (and seemingly neverending) tribute to stevie. what could be better on my day off?



and this. not sure if you've caught this one, but it's truly brilliant action by mr. colbert. he parodies the video of Korean pop superstar Rain's "Way to Avoid the Sun." Stephen Colbert was peeved that Rain beat him out for the top spot as the "number one most influential" person in the world, as voted by readers. watch Rain's video first and then colbert's...



and then colbert...
