Thoughts right after watching episode 8 of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” <이상한 변호사 우영우>
My excitement for every new episode often feels more like anxiety. As I wait for the Netflix upload, I feel antsy, almost as if the usual mindless habit of reading through summaries to know what would happen in a story beforehand becomes a compulsion to be addressed instead. This is this strong urge to scroll…
‘Blossom Away’ (2014)
Blossom away to wherever, that day I find burning leaves that never turn to ashes They sparkle like the ocean drawn by moon lit by sun I like them to be colder than bluest point alive Flowing away like the wind, liquefied I want to hold on to their edges, and draggedto, fro, away and…
‘Flower Girl’ (2017)
I loved making animated posters like this. The best part when playing with paintings is that colours are bound to go haywire, all the more making the end something to look forward to. More art and stuff: the Gallery! ‘Flower Girl’ (2017) watercolour, ink on paperdigitalised
‘Typing’ (2016)

Week’s first roast; Sunday’s second cup
This is it: the perfect roast profile. The conventional knowledge on coffee roasting says that there are various roast levels, e.g. light, medium, dark, etc., but after an earlier experiment roasting different sets of beans at those various roast levels, I thought that there might be more to it than preference. Perhaps there might be…
On repeat: 장덕 4집 – 님 떠난 후 / 이팔청춘의 고백 (1986)
Sometimes I listen to one song over and over again the whole day, even days. Or months. The title song, <님 떠난 후> (“After You Leave,” Jang Deok) in particular, has been my go-to pick-me-up tune for about two months now. The bittersweet lyrics going with the upbeat instrumentals never fails to perk me up…
