Glen Check

Don't get me wrong.  I love my K-pop.  Big Bang, SNSD, Super Junior, TARA...I could go on and on, but let's be honest, it's not always the most musically "advanced" music.  That's why I love to promote some good Korean indie to add some street cred to the Korean music scene.

I discovered this song on Eat Your Kimchi.   One of my favorite websites/youtube channels ever.  Check them out!  Every week they review Korean indie music and they introduced this Glen Check's song "Racket" awhile back.  

I'm so glad that this song came into my life.  I listen to it on constant rotation and it has one of my favorite choruses.  Such a great song for this time of the year--a perfect rainy day, coffee shop song.  

Enjoy!  Ee-ah-eh-ah!

Hiking with Llamas

Llamas, yes you read it right--Llamas!!! Chris and I spent a long weekend camping and a majority of our Saturday frolicking through the wilderness whilst leading llamas. It was as wonderful as it sounds.

This adventure was made possible through the company Halligan Ranch Llama Adventures. Sherry was our guide and she was awesome. She was easy to talk to and also gave excellent advice for leading our llamas (Bug and Pete) around.

Our hike was 7 miles round trip through the Three Sisters wilderness.  The rain couldn't dampen our spirits because we were surrounded by beautiful terrain.  At one point we found ourselves overlooking a beautiful meadow, which was something out of a Disney movie.  When we reached our destination we were up on a hill overlooking the wilderness.  We could have seen Broken Top and the Sisters, but we were socked in with clouds.  Oregon still has a way of being gorgeous even with the clouds though.

We had a delicious lunch (catered to our preferences may I add) that was carried up by the three studly steads.  It was well prepared and very fresh including fresh Oregon berries.  After lunch we headed back down where the rain really started to pour.  It didn't dampen our spirits however because we had llamas!
