So I'm at Incheon Airport right now and leaving Seoul. I can't believe 6 weeks passed so quickly! Sadly, the last week has been rather disappointing-at least three different places I wanted to eat at ended up being closed on the precise day I chose, or didn't deliver even after confirming that they would with my friend. So the fooding hasn't been ( Read more... )

1. The new code push for DW is awesome! Especially the expandable cut tag, omg. On another note, I currently xpost to LJ with comments on LJ closed. If that's the case, would people find a link on my DW entry going to the xposted LJ entry useful or not?
