Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

when i was a kid this was my absolute favorite book. i always thought it was so cool, and i was really excited that they had made it into a movie, but...i'm so bummed it's not opening in korea. did anybody else like this book as a kid? or was i the only weirdo...

Swine Flu

Damn it...i caught a cold so i ended up not going to Jeju. I was scared they were gonna stop me at the airport because they thought i had the swine flu or something. it's just a big deal in korea that i wouldn't put it past them to stop me and not let me through. then i'd have gone to the airport for nothing. >.< so i bailed and slept all day instead. then at night i went to play starcraft. that was fun, i seriously need to learn to build faster. the koreans are too fast for me!! i used to think pH and ari were crazy for playing all night, now i know why. *sigh* computer games are gonna be the end of me.

on a side note...i realized that you can try four years to bury your memories but in a day you can end up digging them all back up. humans are defective. haha

Darwin awards?

haha...idiot

Jeju-do

So I finally scheduled and booked a trip to Jeju Island. After 2 years of saying i'm going to go i'm going to go, but i never went. Bum's such a brat he's got concerts all the weekends and so he's never around. I'm tired of just sitting around doing nothing so i'm going traveling. The itinerary sounds cool including horse back riding, hiking, and just general touristy things that people do in Jeju. I'm excited!! it's next weekend. then my parents are coming...ick...and hooray. i get some things from the states, some homemade food, and some company. ick...bum is gonna meet them and then i have to hear bitching from them. blarghhh.......OOHAH! JEJU!

tim roth, starcraft and blogs

starcraft

TJ Thyne

Tim Roth!!

so i find it much more interesting to read other people's blogs and read about other people's lives rather than blogging about my own. it's not really that interesting. i started taking music theory lessons at my music school. my teacher's pretty cool, he's a bass player that wants to go to holland to study jazz. apparently there's a good school out there.

i just started playing starcraft though. it is so complicated and annoying at times but oh so addicting. i had told myself i wouldn't start it but a couple of my friends (non-koreans) wanted to play since we were all beginners and living in a country where starcraft is on 2 tv channels we decided we were going to play. i tried protoss and zerg. i haven't tried terran yet but i heard from a korean it was pretty hard. any thoughts? ideas? tips? strategies? i would like to be relatively decent so i can at least carry my own in a game with koreans, but i am way out of their league. *cries*

tim roth rocks...he just does. i don't know why. lie to me is great. the show gets mixed reviews but i love it. tim roth is amazing and i know it's another crime show but it's got more twist. i like bones too, but booth and bones both look so old now. Hodgens is great though...i really like him. TJ Thyne. his eyes are intense and he's got cute curly hair. he is a bit short though, however he's just eye candy ^^ all this starcraft and music theory is overwhemling. i feel like my brain might pop.

an oldie but goodie

Happy Chuseok!

Chuseok is Korean thanksgiving. I'm supposed to go to bum's house today to meet and eat with his mother. -.- it's quite scary and i don't know what to wear. so instead of doing anything productive to get ready, i've been reading random blogs from other foreigners in korea. i found quite a few interesting ones. i feel like i don't blog enough but maybe i just don't feel like i have enough to say. i think i do pretty interesting things in my free time but i think i only come here to rant seeing as the only people who read this are lu and ms. W. maybe if i blogged more...i'd get more readers?

here are some pictures from our band competition last month:

day 1, 32 bands, half go to the 2nd day. we pick numbers from a hat to see the band order...lucky us...we're the opening band -.-

stage was small the first day...

i was thinking, the man there should shut up so we can play and i can run away.

the stage is ridiculously huge!!

they made us clap. you should really watch the video...you'll know why i'm laughing

the band wanted to wear black and red. Black shirts on the outside, red on the inside...i wore a red shirt on the outside and black on the inside...hoorah for not conforming.
