Currently, I operate several eBay shops in different categories as a full-time job. In my spare time I like to indulge in writing mobile game guides and reporting on my reselling activities. I occasionally write guides related to Get Paid To sites like FreeCash and Swagbucks, but less than I used to. I previously hosted wikis for: Apex Girl, Road to Rich, Dark Brides, and Passion Pit. In an effort to return this site to Family Friendly skies, I have removed such content.

Friday’s dinner

Leave a comment

Tonight’s meal was prepared by my father.

He chose to cook up some lamb chops seasoned with rosemary. A bowl of thinly sliced and quartered cucumber in sour cream and oil.

Using a steam convection oven, a platter of potatoes, carrots, and onions was also cooked.

Our wine for the evening is a Bourgogne Pinot Noir (Pierre Gruber). Dessert was Turkish sweets.

Lastly, boiled cabbage with raisins lightly peppered.

I am afraid I have once more spaced out taking the photos.

All I have are pictures of the leftovers.

The Art of Korea exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum (part 2)

1 Comment

The Art of Korea exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.

Our pioneering collection of Korean art is one of the largest and most important Korean collections in the United States.

A selection returns to view in a new gallery three times the size of the previous space and featuring many treasures never before shown. At the center of this state-of-the-art installation are the luminescent celadon ceramics of the Goryeo dynasty.

These include a famed ewer in the shape of a lotus bud widely acknowledged to be the finest Korean ceramic in the Western hemisphere.

But the riches of the Brooklyn collection—from golden earrings of the Silla kingdom to vibrant costumes, paintings, and furnishings of the Joseon dynasty—show that the sophistication of Korean art stretches far beyond these celebrated green wares.

I am afraid hunger got the best of me, and I forgot to post tonight’s dinner. Ate it all up without a single picture. I shall do my best to describe it in detail without the photos.

My uncle made a dish of fried pita bread left over from the night before with some tomatoes and sliced beef that had been tenderized.

We also picked up a bottle of old vine Lodi Zinfandel 2016 (Gnarly Head) from the neighborhood shop. Quite a nice pairing with the meal.

After dinner, I had some Moroccan Mint Green tea (Stash) and we settled in to watch the French film MicMacs suggested by my uncle.

After Lunch

Leave a comment

We strolled down to the waterfront while the meal was digested.

Some nice foliage and animals about. We saw a woodchuck in the park. The cute little thing was stuffing its cheeks with clover.

After the park, we returned to the train station for our return journey to the city. Riding the train car, “Tear the Clouds,” I chose the riverside seat for our trip back to New York City.

I mistakenly deleted the pictures of the woodchuck and the foliage while clearing images on my camera.

I have been having a terrible time with my phone service and the GPS. I don’t know if it’s the tall buildings, electrical interference, or even poor coverage.

I use Consumer Cellular with no issues back home (NC), but here in the city (NY), it has been a crapshoot. Using my phone on the subway is the worst, with all of the ups, downs, tunnels, bridges, and nausea-inducing turns.

Even at the apartment, the GPS thinks I am across the way. Sometimes it wanders or just loses connection.

I’ve got four more days of this, so I probably won’t play much Pokémon Go until I get back to JFK for my flight to North Carolina.
