Odiga ?

Julie and Minky congrats on your degrees. I hope you feel much smarter now.

As for Julie, my favorite new albums last year were "Live at Stubbs" by Mathisyahu, a Jewish reggae singer that mixes it up with hip hop. Just check out the song "Lord raise me up" if you wanna try it out. And my other favorite album of last year was "Great Heights" by the Postal Service, try the sing such great heights, to see if you like it.
But music is soooo subjective, even more then movies, so its hard to reccomend some.

And Minky is not happy at your current place ? Are you sure its just the job and not Seoul in itself ? Need a change in surroundings ? I don't know, you need to figure out first where you wanna be and what makes you happy and then make the steps to make that happen.
Don't just follow life and see what happens but make it happen, thats how you get somewhere. I'm in a pretty okay place right now but what is really motivating me is that I have a plan and what I am doing now is only temporary and necessary ($) so I can do the things I really want about 1 year from now. So once you have your priorities set out you can lay out a life strategy and go for it.

Wow I guess all those years of skipping marketing intro classes and staying home and watching Oprah really payed off.

And its snowing here too, it was -4 C yesterday and funny enough it didnt feel that cold since the weather has been much worse lately. Its interesting how your perspective changes once you are used to something.
