dear people's moms,
please stop calling your english-teaching sons and daughters out here in scarey-scarey korea and trying to freak us into coming home with all your paranoid propaganda. it's not that bad. no one here is overly concerned. you are being brainwashed, and letting that ignorant texan's media machine put ideas into your head. and to clarify; that james bond movie is a bunch...

and to answer your question. me. i want to drink beer and consume as many products as possible that share the name of my favorite feminin product

yes, it's pretty amazing what a difference it makes when you're not in the country that's churning out the paranoia.

Ahhh, High Fidelity is such a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful and yet again wonderful book. I laughed my ass off reading it. Go Nick Hornby! Have you read about a boy? It's also exceptionally hip. I still haven't seen Lost Highway! And I only saw Swingers stoned once. Hmm... I love lazy movie watching weekends. smile

ha. the past few days of class have been awesome. my class is from the seoul campus, instead of the wonju ( where i teach) campus, and they are supersmart and interested in learning. plus, they laugh at my jokes.

class discussions ended up surprising and impressing me. view expressed 9 my class is all men, and 2 women;

the upstairs neighbors are chanting and sqealing again. i hate them. they've been repeating the same 2 syllable chant approximately every 3 minutes. i keep thinking it will get old, or they'll tire of it. that they'll start a conversation. i might have to go up there. now they are stomping around... god, i really hate them. i feel the same rage building up inside...

Yeah for coming home! Where do you call home? Are you coming home for good? Ya, know, I have no idea why you're in Korea save to teach english. Is that a permanent thing, or just for a certain amount of time? I love your new profile pic, btw. very, very cute smile
recidivi5t:
thai is more complicated than it seems. several similar vowel sounds are distinguishable only by inflection...the "height" of the vowel sound, kind of like how our sentences go "up" for a question - they've got the same thing for syallables... the language has a debatable # of characters as well, between 28 - 37.

but its really pretty looking.

like either of us really give a shit. sorry about the nosy know it all post.

Hahaha, the dangers of falling pop machines has got to be one of the best commercials. How can someone go through life without experiencing these? The trip was already worth the agony to see the commercials. Yes, I am Air Force and a pathetic excuse for that may I add. Government jobs are almost the same anywhere, just with they would give me some hot shower water. Funny, new years day rolls around and at best, a trickle. What is your #18 reason? Your slacking woman. This is how it starts, first you forget to post, then you forget to take a shower tomorrow morning, then forget to turn in your term paper next fall, then forget to feed your newborn baby and then next you know it, your running a herd of sheep in Scotland wondering what the hell happened? Was it due to the price of wool rising in today's market? Who knows.

mild weather makes me happy. now all my clothes work. i'm not made for the cold. i can't thermoregulate. all the ice on the lake is melting. the ducks seem happy. they were quacking around.

I dunno man I just met them working at Starbucks
My best friend is named Rob too but I call him Carter
Since I am the most important Rob in Florida
So anyways, he knew some English folks, and we frequented
This bar and we just became a group
They've basically adopted me as one of their British buddies
Since I'm as much into Footie as they are
Carter got me into Manchester United
Ive always been into Holland and England in general

When I went and visited the girls in Orlando I saw a shitload of British Pubs up there. Its crazy..I didnt know Orlando/Kissimmee had so many English punces there. Must be the whole "Brits on Tour" thing with Disneyland and shit

I cant write or read Thai, only barely learning to speak it. I leave on the 10th of feb so I have some catching up to do.....

fish go to the bottom, unfrozen, and hang ther til spring.........I would love some of your students letters. I read, was it an advertisment? you posted awhile back. Confusing and funny as hell. They would work perfect.... Have you ever heard of a book called "Letters from a Nut?" Its a collection letters and responses from this guy that does things like write hotel companies asking for a reservation and warns them about his level four bed wetting problem. Prisons, asking if he can give out his homemade yogurt in the death row section, "it has a calming effect." Very funny reading; may take a certain sense of humor??

so that evening consisted of a lot of hollering...

Dangerous with those pills they give you. I know being in the job I am in, we arent able to go to any pharmacys here. We have to get our medication from the hospital here which consists of mostly motrin to solve any problem and maybe a decongestant. they dont care about us. well its friday night so i better get going to do something or forever hold my peace. Is that a Cass beer? I prefer that shitty OB Lager myself or maybe some Hite.

i think about food a lot. not in an obsessive way, or in some sort of mental realm which would eventually lead into disorder. just in the way that i sit and daydream about the good things in life. it's amazing how we human creatures have elevated such a simple life function ( eating) to an art form, to a true pleasure, a complete sensory...

My most incredible food experience had to be in Seattle. At a place called La Vita Bella. They had these cheese crepes there that were unbelievable. Quattro formagio (4 cheese) crepes that knocked me over with delight. I don't know if my eyes were open at all throughout that whole meal. Sensuality was redifined that night and my perception on the world completely changed. It was a magical meal.

big fat sigh as i sit here at my desk after going back to work, after a lame new years in wonju... it's hard to get the world revolving again after it's been on breezy lovely hold.
