It has now been more than 4 months since 2PM’s leader Park Jaebeom left for Seattle after withdrawing from the group due to controversy over comments he made on Myspace.

What started out as a mere complaint on Myspace to a close friend has turned into something much larger than any of us could have imagined. Park Jaebeom, the 23-year old leader of my favorite Korean group 2PM, resigned on Sept. 8th over comments that he made to his friends about Korea: Many Koreans were [...]

As most of you know (so I jump on bandwagons late…) this ’25 random things’ about me phenomenon had been floating around on Facebook. I got tagged a couple of times, but I didn’t really want to be exposed on the big bad world of Facebook. So instead, I’m going to be putting it on [...]

Yesterday I received the following e-mail: I write this with a heavy heart. Earlier today, The University of Texas System Board of Regents directed us to proceed with a reduction in force designed to align the number of UTMB employees with a much smaller clinical enterprise.

Today the 2008 Beijing Olympics drew to a close., and they went out with a bang. I have to say that I’m so dang proud of my country for pulling it off so well. Yes, there was lots of controversy (and those NBC commentators were annoying) but these Olmpics have done so much to prove [...]

I made these coconut cupcakes on Sunday night…I was originally planning on making them on Wednesday morning or something to bring to PBL, but Auris had been craving them ever since I had mentioned that I wanted to make them, so I went ahead and made them: Here they are when they just came out [...]

It was Rita’s birthday today, and Auris wanted to make her something. I was thinking…well she probably wants something French…and you have Madeleine mold pans…make her madeleines!

In light of all the protests that have broken out during the trail of the Olympic torch relay, I feel that it’s important to have an equal representation of both sides of the debate.
