Smitten

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

At this point I feel like the most unromantic person that I know. It’s not that I shun romance, it’s just that for a while I had given up on love. I think that over the years I have been confused about what love was … perhaps I’ve read too many Jane Austen novels where every romance gets tied up in a neat bow and everyone ends up terribly happy. This has not been my experience. Love is usually hard to maintain and you gotta fight for it.

But then again, once in a while, you see “it.” The real stuff. And your heart gets a longing. And you realize that “it” does exist outside of books and off the silver screen.

I’m just smitten. I love our First Couple.

PS. I challenge you not to smile after watching that video.

First Negative Comment

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

I’ve arrived.

I had my first negative comment yesterday and it generated more traffic and comments on my blog than anything else in the past month. Okay, now I understand why politicians use negative campaign tactics – it gets people’s attention!

I really thought the post was relatively benign but I guess I could kinda sorta maybe see how 46% of America might get offended. But it clearly wasn’t my intention. Here’s a little snippet if you didn’t catch it yesterday:

In response to my post Kelly said (no blog URL left):

How can you talk like that to your daughter. I am and will always be a McCain supporter, when my kids got up this morning(12, 14 & 15) that were sad that Obama became president and started to say negative things about him. I stopped them and said he is now the president of the united state – your UNITED state and you must support him while he is president. Obama would be disappointed in you and your daughter from what I have heard he wants a united america not a divided. Your still divided even though he won. BTW my father is a great man and he loves his grandchildren and cares deeply about that generation and he can’t text either.

Here was my response: (more…)

In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.

Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

You can also catch me vlogging at:

This site is hosted by BlueHost. They have good manners and never yell or make me feel like an idiot - even when I did that one thing which was very, very bad. I think they are swell.

This is the personal website of Giyen Kim. I use this space to let off steam and write exceedingly bad prose.

For all intents and purposes, I can be best described as a writer, foodie, web designer, humorist, and news junkie. I am also a big dreamer and lover of all people. This means you too.

And case you were wondering, yep that's me up there rockin the Buster Browns and modified Dorthy Hamill haircut. As you can tell, my parents were unusually cruel. This would probably explain why I spend most mornings hiding under the covers, wishing that it was Sunday.
