This video shows why I didn't major in art or creative writing in college. I don't think my fragile ego could have handled the whole criticism thing. I have huge sympathy for this woman.

Caveat: 까치를 봤다
Walking home from work I saw an exemplar of the bird the Koreans call 까치 [kka-chi], and which is probably what some Westerners term “Korean Magpie” although as the wikithing explains, it’s possible that it’s not a separate species from a European magpie. It resembles the black-billed magpie that I seem to recall seeing at my uncle’s home on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, too, though that is probably a different species.
I’ve always been interested by these raven-like birds. I took a good photo of one when I was in Suwon in January of 2010, but I don’t see that I’ve managed to talk about knowing their Korean name before, although I may have.
I’m really sick, I’m just going to crash now for the weekend I think. As a bonus, the medicine I got yesterday morning is really knocking me out, too. See you later, world.
