TUNE OF THE WEEK: SPICA “Ghost”
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that girl bands aren’t really my thing, so when one captures my attention enough to have me feature it as my “Tune of the Week” you know that song has got to be good. Continue reading “TUNE OF THE WEEK: SPICA “Ghost””
FROM B1A4 TO VIXX: KCON 2014 in Pictures, Part 5 – Sunday Night’s Concert
And finally, here are a handful of pictures from the Sunday night concert at KCON 2014. I hope you’ve enjoyed my reminiscing as much as I have. Thanks for sticking around and I hope you come back often. My K-Pop adventures have only just begun!
FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 5
Saturday must have worn me out more than even I realized because I slept until 7:30 Sunday morning (a new record, I know). It felt glorious to sleep so long and I woke up in a near panic because I got irrationally freaked out about getting to the Sports Arena late and I’d miss my chance to be one of the VIP guests for the Danny From L.A. taping. (Which I still can’t believe I won because I never win anything! Ever.) Thankfully taking a deep breath in and pausing a moment to fully wake up was all it took to clear my head and bring me back to my more rational self. Of course not having a cosplay costume to wear on Sunday did send me into another tizzy as I frantically dug through all of the clothes both Tanya and I brought with, desperately trying to find something to wear that didn’t make me look old, fat or stupid. (A task I struggle with on a daily basis.) With Tanya’s help I did finally settle on something, which involved a skirt, of all things, and I totally blame Tanya for that. I can’t remember the last time I voluntarily wore a skirt anywhere… They don’t usually match my boho indie rock style (which is how Tanya describes my… um… unique… taste in fashion).

FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 2
While spending the night in a Korean spa is absolutely fantastic while you’re de-stressing in the sauna rooms, it doesn’t make for the best sleeping, unless you have the superpower that allows you to sleep soundly no matter where you are. (A superpower I, unfortunately, do not possess.) Even in the dark and supposedly quiet “sleeping room” I still spent a lot of time listening to people talking, TVs playing various K-dramas and even Henry’s “Fantastic” video (which I didn’t mind at all)
rather than sleeping. I know I dozed off a couple of times but by four in the morning, Tanya and I were both awake (the curse of being in L.A. while running on East Coast and central time) and ready to start our day. With most of the spa sound asleep, Tanya and I did the only logical thing one can do at four in the morning, we headed to the common area and grabbed a coffee and a bubble tea and enjoyed a little bit of quiet catching up time. From there it was back through all of the sauna rooms (and yes, the clay ball room was every bit as glorious as it had been the night before and surprisingly, so was the ice room) before getting cleaned up and setting out on our adventures for the day.
