Valentine's Day Festivities
My friend lovezutto ("zutto" = "always" in Japanese) hosted a wonderfully fun Valentine's Day party and Pop-up shop at the Institute 4 Creativity this week, which featured her Etsy handmade scarves and plush cuties!
While I was there, I played around with some designs that I inked:
In Korea, girls buy chocolates (or make them, if you're hardcore) for their beloved. Meanwhile, the single folks have "Black day" two months later to celebrate "singles awareness day" by eating noodles with black bean sauce, 짜장면 (aka "jjajjangmyun", for those of you who can't read Korean). I kid you not, there is a specific day for single buddies to eat jjajjangmyun together - this is a very legit day in Korea.
By my friend and I decided that it was stupid to wait two months for such a delicious dish, so we went ahead and made our noodles today. WE REGRET NOTHING.

Button/magnet machines are SO FUN
My finished refrigerator magnets!

LET THE MARATHON BEGIN |
Those magnets are great--I can't believe that you made them yourself! I also love the day in Korea that acknowledges singleness by the eating of good food.
ReplyDeleteAnd House of Cards! I just started watching season 1 last week and it is so incredibly good!
This is all awesome.
ReplyDeleteHOUSE OF CARDS, LET US ALL DISCUSS. Except not, as I am still on season 1.
I WILL ALWAYS DISCUSS HOUSE OF CARDS WITH YOU.
ReplyDeleteClaire is THE BEST, in a very twisted way. I want her clothes, I want her hairstyle, I want her badassery (and still keep my morals, thankyouverymuch).
Isn't a legit, food-oriented singles day very awesome?! I need that here in the US of A, stat! House of Cards is soooo addicting. I won't even judge you if you clear the season in a week (it only took me 4 days)!
