A quote from a certain Lady Bracknell on The Importance of Being Earnest comes to mind–the exact nature being thus: “To be born, or at any [...]

Here it is, the slightly unbelievable story of how I got addicted to Korean pop culture… honestly, if you make it all the way through, I should probably buy you something. Like coffee. Or whatever, only not a yacht. In the Beginning… It all began one day when I was sitting at my computer, innocently [...]
