Feel free to edit/customize this and reuse it. I think I did a pretty good job with this one.

The class is Food, Gender, and Culture, and it counts as a women's studies course. I'm going to expose myself as the nerd that I am. I am going to subject myself to the scrutiny of about 3 dozen pairs of unforgiving eyes. It makes me nervous. But I will stand proudly in front of them and profess to ...

Maybe I want to introduce myself, maybe I want people to know me, maybe I just wanted to write this all down. I'm not even sure if I'll release this once it's finished. This will contain a lot of personal details, things most people don't know about me, not even the people involved. I ask that if you do read this, you look upon me kindly and ...

If I had to speculate, I'd say it is because Korea has only a single sizable event, the GSL, which is exclusive to the point that some of the highest skilled players in the world can't get into it, and provides a relatively small prize ...

Why's that? Because I have a surge of adrenaline rushing through my veins. It's that feeling you get in the midst of a big battle, or when you've dominated a superior opponent. (Darn those splanchnic nerves and those signals to my adr...

When writing that blog I knew that I would come off looking like an IdrA fanboy. The truth is, it is always quite a spectacle to see him play, and I mean his actual play, not his BM. It's upsetting that about 70 of the 79 comments were responding to the BM portion of the blog, but I guess that's the risk you take when you're co...

The winners were always players from SK, the tournaments were always held in SK, and the few foreigners who qualified would have to bring themselves to SK if they wished to participate. The era of SK domination is slowly, but most certainly, coming to an end. This blog is not meant to discredit the amazing...
