My new favorite beverage!

So I bought this drink at IrBen a local Asian goods and rentals place simply because it came with a toy. I tried it... it wasn't bad, I'd buy it again. Yadda yadda yadda... I was bored and decided to check out their website. Once I get there I was like WTF!? Their site prominently displays this ballet-dancing pic in a blue tie and pink blazer. It was one of the most bizarre things I've seen in a while...

This got me curiouser so I examined the toy I got with it. It had an unusual weight to it, and then I discovered it had magnets in it, so when you bring the pig closer to the bottle the bottle would then run away! This is when I decided Dakara would become my new favorite soft drink.

Political Caricatures

December 7th, 2007 The MT Hebei Spirit (an oil tanker carrying 1.9 million barrels of crude oil) collided with a crane barge owned by Samsung Heavy Industries off the western shore of South Korea. The tanker was holed in 3-5 places, and spilled approximately 12,000 tons of oil.

Within a month, over 1 million volunteers were on the scene, helping with the clean-up. Blame and liability are still being settled, with Samsung, the tugboat operator, and the tanker captain all sharing some of the blame. Marine farmers and citizens are angry over the loss of their livelihoods - protesting, and in at least three cases, committing suicide, including Ji Chang-Hwan, 56. Ji drank a bottle of herbicide before running on stage (during a rally demanding greater compensation) and dousing himself with paint thinner. He then set himself on fire with a cigarette lighter, dying in hospital the next morning.

A trial of five people accused of negligence in the spill began January 25th.

I can't sleep...

Or most likely, I don't want to sleep....

In the time I'm using in occupying the night I found I'm very much a digital pack rat. Many gigs of my hard drive space have been squandered in keeping movies, music, pics, emails, etc. that for a moment captured my interest.

The same could actually said about my real life. My room is scattered with papers, comics, books, toys and varying knick knacks I don't need. One day I'll find the time to clean/exhume my actual and digital environment. If my sleeping habits keep up that day will be soon...
