I lost something cool today

I went over to the MPC (Main Press Center) to take care of a few things today, and I while I was there, I noticed a booth set up on the second floor that said "Caricatures" on it. Upon investigation, I found that anybody who wanted it, and who had 20 spare minutes, could have a caricature drawn of them. SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!

I sat there as the artist drew a digital rendering of yours truly. When she was done, she printed me out a copy and gave it to me, and I was on my way, free souvenir in hand (minus the 1,000 won tip I left).

I got on the shuttle to come back to the Coastel Cluster, and who was there, with an empty seat right next to him, but Everen! What are the odds.

We talked the whole time back (the guy, while very nice, never shuts up), and then got off the bus when it pulled into the media village...AND I LEFT THE PICTURE ON THE BUS, IN THE BACK OF THE SEAT IN FRONT OF ME.

I was so mad at myself. I went back to the bus stop, and then to the lost and found, and gave them my contact information in case it turns up, but you know how these things go: No one ever finds anything at a lost and found. Ever.

At least they gave me a digital copy of the picture on a flash drive. Here it is...

What do ya'll think?

Now, onto my daily food review. I decided to switch things up a bit and go sweet instead of savory, so I opted for these maple corn crisps...


The closest thing I can compare them to, if you've ever had them, are churro nuggets. If you haven't had them, I highly suggest you give them a try, as long as you don't mind consuming about 9,000 calories in one sitting because they're impossible to put down once you start eating them.

These little treats have a similar taste to churro nuggets but are a little sweeter and don't quite have the butteriness that comes with the caramel flavor of a churro nugget. As a result, the sweetness gets to be a bit too much; whereas I could have eaten the entire bag of shrimp Bugles by myself (and surely would have if I didn't share them with the people sitting around me), these I had to stop eating after consuming 10 or so. (They're also just a little too big to be considered bite-sized; you have to almost unhinge your jaw like a snake to fit one of them in your mouth.)

On taste alone, I'd give these an 8, but on eatability, I have to knock it down to a 7.2.

They did come with this cool Pokemon dragon sticker, though, so that's a bonus...


That's all for today. Annyeonghi jumuseyo!

  1. Loving the blog. Sorry to hear you were parted from your caricature. What non-skating events did you end up seeing yesterday (though, for you, it may be two days ago by this time)?

  2. I didn't go to anything yesterday. I've got to start taking better advantage of my media pass.
