I've been reading a lot of books about North Korea this year, so this news was kinda shocking. KJI is dead, I hope his son has more sense than his dad.
Man, you could have been more specific- for a few seconds I had a pit in my stomach thinking maybe he'd done some act of heinous world-destabilizing craziness. Well, more than usual, I mean.
(KJI is dead, for anyone else who hasn't seen the news.)
Also I didn't know KJ Un had like, enough of a personality to make judgments one way or another just yet. Everything I've seen of him is just him sitting there with a blank stare, I'm not fully convinced just yet that he's not just a wax statue.
Holy fuck
well, I guess yesterday was a good time to get out of South Korea just in case anything goes down
Have they said what the cause of death is yet? I've read a few articles - none of which have said how he died.
the 'official' version is 'stress and overwork'. I doubt any reliable information will ever be released - and even if it were, how would we know it was reliable?
Kind of figured it was a stroke or heart attack after the last one. Just wasn't sure if it had been released and I had just missed it. So yeah, stress and overwork more or less seems like a light way of putting "heart attack"
In 2009, when Clinton went to rescue the reporters that were caught in North Korea, Clinton's medical aid said that he noticed how the dear leader didn't have much movement in his right arm, which according to him was indicative of a stroke.

Why is it that every "break" I have between work and school (or vice versa), I end up rushing to find a place to live or something goes wrong? Fucckckckckckck
My instructions to the driver were "If you can't leave it at #409, then please deliver it to #110."
"Leave it at" 409 doesn't fucking mean "drop it outside my door unattended and walk away without a signature." It means deliver it to me, and if you can't, then deliver it to apartment 110. Or, to simplify my motives further, it means "Don't you dare just fucking put a sticker on my door like you did last time. If I'm not home, #110 is where you need to deliver it."
If the instructions are ambiguous (and they are, admittedly), why the hell would you assume that I intended them to mean the dumbest fucking thing imaginable?
Oh my god.
I guess I can take some comfort in the fact that the item in question is likely completely worthless and a huge let-down for whoever took it.
I just couriered a package off to some for xmas, and I hope that that someone gets it, otherwise i would feel gutted.
It good though where I live we use to have a courier driver live close by, so you could kinda depend on him to bring it over at lunch time or after work
Agh, I've got all my Christmas shopping done, except for my mom. What do you get for someone whose main interests seem to be watching network television and loudly and endlessly complaining about petty annoyances?
Christmas shopping for people that read books on occasion is a lot easier.

She may need an appliance that does a very specific but very rarely occurring household chore, and will ultimately be far more annoying to store, than it will be to have to do the chore manually.
I doubt she'd use it- despite the fact that she's got a million digital cable channels or whatever, I don't think she's ever watched a channel that she couldn't just pick up with a goddamn antenna anyway.
I got her a bunch of classic Robert Redford movies- that seems safe enough, she's mentioned she liked Robert Redford at one point. Though I've never known her to voluntarily put in a movie that's more than 2 years old, so they'll probably go to waste. <shrug>
You know, I kinda wish it wouldn't be inappropriate and illegal to just buy her pot for Christmas. I mean, I've never done drugs (and don't plan to), and she's never done drugs (at least, as far as I know), but I think everyone involved would appreciate a holiday family get together where she chilled the hell out for a bit.
/\ (preceding paragraph was a joke, I really don't want to start a drug conversation.)
So today I found out The Bugle was being discontinued by The Times. (probably there's like one other person on here that knows what that means, but it's sad anyway.) I hope they find a way to continue the podcast (they sound fairly optimistic), if for no other reason than I vaguely have a notion of someday blowing their minds with a full-blown oil-painted Hotties From History pin-up, done in traditional renaissance style- and I'd hate to have missed my window of opportunity for that being a semi-relevant, albeit still a few years too late to be timely, joke.
Also my sister opened up her Christmas present early, and apparently she seemed thrilled at being introduced to the humor stylings of Kate Beaton. I like when me evangelizing the stuff I like actually is appreciated, rather than just being annoying.
Due to baby related reasons, this is my most miserly Christmas ever. Girls, you all get soap. Guys, you all get socks. My wife, however, got a steak dinner and some chocolates.

I really wish someone had told me about mince meat + cumin + cinnamon earlier, I only just discovered.
Of his Korea.

I'm not surprised he would have died of a stroke.

Ain't no party like a Pyongyang party, 'cause a Pyongyang party is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY

I wonder what happened to the kitchens that didn't pass inspection...
They probably get sent to a concentration camp.
God, I even paid for the expedited shipping. Fuck everything about this...

Also the Awesome posts forum occasionally turns out a real fucking gem.
