saturday night again in the lovely hamlet of wonju... spent my goin out time during the day, and none of the other kids seem to want to go out tonight. it's ok, i don't really want to pay 8,000 won for an imported beer...
things i've been thinking about:
1. a friend of mine is about to end her relationship with her boyfriend, who bascially, it turns out is pretty emotionally abuse. and prone to throwing somewhat frightening hissy fits that ( usually) involve a lot of yelling and tossing food on the ground. it's always so easy to be the person on the outside, dishing out advice, about how "you should leave that fucker. you don't need that shit..." and it's true, she should. but she's really going through a tough thing, living together, working together, and in a way, losing her best friend. i know my job is just to be there, to support, keep her on track, say "don't turn back, you can do it. you're strong and beautiful and you will never ever need someone that disrepects you like that." i just wish i could mend a broken heart. that i could wave a wand, and he'd be an ok guy, and they'd be happy. how can he be such a slave to temper and to anger that he would lose such an amazing, intelligent, talented and beautiful woman? how can anyone? why do some people feel that verbal violence ( or physical) does a fucking thing other than push away those that would sooner love you than leave you? just rhetorical question, really... anger problems seem to be like addiction problems in a way. the person having the problem is usually in complete denail about it, and will sooner beat up and alienate even their loved ones than actually face up to having a problem that needs to be dealt with.
2. whether i should switch to mac. my stupid outta date sony vaio is dying a rather painful death... it's time for a new laptop. but am i just buying an image? has their marketing campaign been so successful that i'm convincing myself to get a mac because i think it suits me personally? i mean, i know that i buy bath products based on packaging a lot of the time... but i just want them to look cool when someone is snooping thru my cabinets.
3. soup is sooo good. i haven't had an un-soup meal in 2 days. it's cold! eat soup, make soup. according to my friend, the best soup cookbook in the entire universe is written by this lady named "crescent dragon wagon". i kid you not. yum

One of the first tapes, maybe it was the second tape I ever bought, U2 was first though, was Bjork's debut album. Well, the ribbon detached from the blue thing and for some reason, for years, I have been carrying it around with me like a relic, never fixing it or buy a Debut cd. For some reason I fixed it with tape a couple of days ago. I listened to the entire tape once in the bedroom and I was ecstatic. I had weird, deja vu, yucky, nostaligic, I don't want to go there feelings from when I first bought the tape. . .and I had one last listen in the car and it popped.
*sigh* oh well. I wonder when I'll get around to fixing it. . .or even buying a new cd!
Apple can kiss my ass. . .I have a love hate relationship with them. . .oh but the new iMacs are so cute. . .yuck!
