Urgh. Why is it when I'm about to get in line at @Starbucks that's when the tourist bus shows up? :-/
Just frustrating!
Both the bathroom and the food and beverage line is insane right now.

Nads "for men"!
OMG! I was in Duane Reade today getting a prescription filled when I passed this. It's a product called "Nads" (snicker, snicker...yes, I know. I'm so mature.) It's a hair removal product for men for way down there. At least the torture isn't just for women.
What was particularly amusing was I was catching up the Savage Love Podcast by Dan Savage. Believe me seeing "Nads" hair remover while listening to Dan opine on sex topics and give his wonderfully blunt advice? Entertaining ;)Happiness is a bag of 김 (dried sheets of seaweed)
Crunchy, high in iron, bliss.
Price tag kept on for authenticity ;)OMG! BLACK PEOPLE!
Are they serious?
Well, thank goodness for screen shots and blogs. Because, yes, morons there are black people on Twitter.
Say it isn't so!!!

Web 2.0 Asia :: Wetoku is Interview 2.0
via web20asia.com
I found this on the Web 2.0 Asia blog this morning: wetoku (Konglish. Korean-English, for "we talk").
Since I might start doing interviews again pretty soon, this would be a great way to do it. I wonder if you can also use it to record multiple users and also set it up to record podcasts? (I guess if it records sound, if you edit it, why not?) I have to try this one.
Awful Library Books
This is a pretty funny blog that I learned about from FishBowl LA: http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlLA/blogistan/awful_library_books_117588.asp
I don't know if I agree. The truly awful books maybe should stay as a testament to what not to write ;)
NYC Mugged | Exploring all the Best Coffee in New York City
via nycmugged.com
This is a great discovery. Thanks to today's Thrillist NY newsletter: http://www.thrillist.com/maps/nycmugged. With looking for work and going into NYC for interviews, it's a guarantee that I'll seek out a coffee bar/cafe with wi-fi to park, plug-in and surf the want ads. Since Starbucks has wifi, and I've got Boingo wireless (http://www.boingo.com/) I just plug in the zip code of where I am and let my Blackberry tell me where to go.
However, I'm feeling like I ought to give the smaller and independent spots a chance. I just don't know where they are, and I'm always ending up somewhere that's new to me. That's exciting but that also means I just don't know the layout. The trick is finding out where the hell they are.
This is where NYC Mugged can help a newb. For me, getting coffee or tea is a waste of money if I don't have wifi and a place to plug in the laptop. I'm hoping this will guide me to those spots. If you're not tethered to your laptop like I am, you'll have more of a range. This is a great idea.
So onward with more caffeinated wi-fi Internet surfing!
An English Teacher Under Quarantine in South Korea
The blog from the dirty foreigners who are quarantined because of N1H1 virus fears in South Korea.
I've got to say, it's crap like this that does make me happy I'm not there anymore.
Last I checked the virus originated in Mexico! So unless these folks are showing symptoms and/or were there or in one of the cities/regions where it's been reported, what's the fuss?
Sometimes the folks in power in the ROK can be so dumb. (Okay, yes, the USA has it's dumb leader moments too...we just had 8 years of it.)
