Culture QotD: Mais, Oui!

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:06:54 -0500

Do you speak another language? If not, which language do you wish you spoke fluently?

seems like i've answered this question before, or one similar to it. yup, here's the post.

anyway, i speak korean, though not fluently. i've been making more of an effort to speak it around my mom or her friends so i can learn more of the language. at some point i'd like to know enough where i can have longer conversations with our family in korea instead of the usual, "hi, how are you? your voice sounds the same...oh, i'm doing well...no i'm not married...no i don't have kids....no i'm not dating...i miss you, too. i love you." all spoken in korean of course. if i were fluent in the language, i'd have more control over the conversation topics.

QotD: The Big Winner

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 11:25:34 -0500

Have you ever won anything at a carnival, arcade or midway game?

i never won anything "big" but i did win something at a county fair in the mid '80s. i can't remember the game specifically but i seem to recall throwing a softball and knocking over a stack of metal bottles. it may have been a different game though, but i do remember thinking my prize sucked at the time. there were huge stuffed animals hanging around and when the guy handed me a small metal stick, i was confused and asked why i didn't get one of the big bears.

an old prize

apparently, i had to "win a few games" to get one. i won a paper fan instead.

i was so upset that i'd been duped and vowed to never play any other games. well, not without asking about the rules.

the funny thing is, after all this time, i still have the fan...

QotD: Hey, I Was Just A Kid

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:43:45 -0500

What did you do as a child that you feel guilty about even to this day?

i bit my brother. we had been fighting about something and it got physical, so i went for his leg. a few days later it started to bruise and it looked hideous. we weren't sure what to do and i was so worried that his leg was going to fall off. i was also worried that my parents were going to find out that we'd been fighting, so we agreed to keep quiet about the whole thing. back then, if my brother and i were caught fighting, we both got to fight off "the belt".

anyway, it was around 6th or 7th grade when i learned how serious that bite could have been. i remember my science teacher asking the class which was worse: the bite from a human or an animal? when he told us that the human bite was more dangerous and could cause a nasty infection, i immediately felt guilty, again, for biting my brother.

mini smile

now that we're older we laugh about what happened but whenever i see the scar on his leg, i feel an inkling of guilt. and then i remind myself that i was just a kid when it happened...

QotD: On The iPhone...

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:23:16 -0400

Over a million iPhones have been sold. Have you: bought one, considered it, or decided it's not for you?

i'm not interested in owning one and i can't justify switching networks for a phone.

oh, and what's this i hear about at&t paying apple for each iphone activated on their network, and that you can only buy two phones with credit cards? tsk tsk tsk.
