Oh, I looked into this. It's one of the myths perpetrated by their propaganda.

Many North Koreans believe that Kim Jong-il did not use the toilet.

True or False?: True

North Korea engages in a "cult of personality"—the Kim family's members have been elevated to the level of deities. To reinforce this status, official North Korean media attributes incredible feats to the family. For example, there's the oft-cited anecdote that Kim Jong-il never used the bathroom. And as insane as that sounds, this was a well-established "fact" in North Korea, and multiple defectors have corroborated this story.

Jang Jin-sung, a defector who was once a propaganda poet for Kim Jong-il, admitted in interviews that he believed the bathroom story into adulthood. It was only when he met Kim Jong-il, face-to-face, that he realized it was not true.

I always disliked these.

 Yeah those are awful, I hate the fact that they used those on the Blurays.  When compared to the VHS and Laser Discs, which used the great classic movie posters they just look insanely stupid.

I mean just compare those to these.

Belgian Cherry Wheatbear (Again)
Vesper
Strong Coffee
Painkillers
Baileys

I'm looking forward to getting some serious drinking done tomorrow :-)

 You're making me thirsty!

I just had some shitty beer at dinner :(

And to top it, I promptly forgot about it and took some nimesulide for my neck pain and headache. Oh well, at least I feel better now.
I suppose I'll have to wait a few days, until my best friend is back, to hope to do some serious drinking.
