Ella ella ella ey

it's cloudy and drizzling today, so i'm going to get to use the new umbrella i got in myeong-dong last week. i initially balked at the $15 price tag from a street vendor, but it opens with some nice push-button action... and it's got kitties!

plus, so far it looks to be the sturdiest umbrella i've ever owned. i actually had to use muscle power just to get it closed. perhaps the days of umbrellas embarrassingly blown inside out are finally over. 

it got the marlon seal of approval for being black and white -- it's not too girly and he admitted he wouldn't be ashamed be caught with it if he had to grab an umbrella and run off to work.
