Have I ever mention that I love you? You're like me, except wittier. And almost certainly less crazy.
I'm excited for you on going back to Korea. I wish I had the immense patience it took to teach. I'd love to spend more time in Asia, but it seems the only way to do that is teach. And I... don't like children.
Yay for cat-ladyness! I'm mostly there already. I have four cats (technically only two are mine, so somehow that makes it better?), and I'm constantly wanting more. I'm afraid I'm going to end up one of those animal hoarders with 100 cats in their house being all "I only wanted to help them"... I can see my future, and it is not terribly bright.
I've actually been contemplating watching Dr. Who. Everyone ever always raves about it, and I DO like British TV. Yet somehow it seems boring. Sci-fi was never much my thing (despite all signs to the contrary - Yes, I adored Star Wars far more than I should have
( ... )

and sometimes is totally your relatives. Teaching in Korea taught me that I had more patience than I thought and I certainly did like children more than previously thought - but I'm most likely never going to have any children of my own. That's what retail taught me.
I am setting the bar for two cats maximum. First I will adopt Chairman Meow, whereever he may be, and then, the Second Cat.
I was living in London when the first Dr. Who reboot started (with Billie Piper and David Eccleston) and I didn't pick it up then and I doubt I ever will. It's one of the many things other people love that I never clicked with.
Swanko Lab is pretty hit or miss, I do agree, but for 99 cents and the patience to play around with the different formulas so I can make my non hipstamatic photos look hipsta, it's hardly a great indulgence.
Like reading a lot of English books has been my goal, my goal is to go back to English language music - I've been listening to k/j/tw music so much that I'm missing out on the other stuff.
Warning for Anna Karenina.. Anna doesn't appear for at least 200 pages. which made me confused for a while and wondering why the book was called that when I first read it lol
I've also been warned about the ending.calledinvainMay 22 2011, 18:33:02 UTC
I'll get to it when I get to it. :D But I've been doing so good with my other book challenges. Maybe after AK is done, I will go back to reading Swann's Way.
ohhhhh Russian literature... may god be with you on that journey. I read The Brothers Karamazov and was thoroughly entertained for the first 100 pages and then tortured to DEATH like bamboo under the fingernails for the next 32094820582035820582 pages.
Dostoevsky can just go jump right off that same cliff i told Dickens to jump off of.
You are making me want to read We Have Always Lived In This Castle again, though. it has been ages and i loved it so much the first time around.
You'll get your cat and your house and we'll have our adventures :) I'm looking forward to it. And soon, too...
and my cat will be Chairman Meow!calledinvainMay 22 2011, 18:31:59 UTC
I totally dodged the brothers K bullet in high school - by erm, having a serious case of depression and flunking out of junior year, well not really. But I got dropped from the advanced English classes. I actually don't mind Dickens! I still have fondness for A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations (though the latter is patchy kind of love).
Okay, third time's the charm...hostile17girlMay 21 2011, 05:17:23 UTC
We Have Always Lived in the Castle is so, so good. I hope you enjoy it.
You have a Tumblr? Neat! I just added you. I'm becauseyoulisten over there. I hate how Tumblr's not really conducive to commenting or making friends in the way that LJ is, but it's fun. All I do is reblog pretty pictures.
But what I really wanted to point out: I dled and watched all of the Mighty Boosh while I was in Korea. I now understand Noel Fielding's bizarre charm. But I must say I prefer Julian. YOU PREFER JULIAN! *high-five*
Re: Okay, third time's the charm...calledinvainMay 21 2011, 05:36:56 UTC
hurrah! i shall add you back on tumblr. Tumblr is really just an epic way of managing chain letters, I think. *G*
I *do* prefer Julian. It's weird, because Noel has all the trademarks that I have leaned toward to in the past - but there's something so remarkably endearing about Julian and his sense of humor. Plus the jazz thing, it's so delightfully - like, I can see he has a passion for it, and it reminds me about all the things that I love and that not everyone necessarily gets or appreciates.
now I know what the term righteous fro meanscalledinvainMay 22 2011, 18:30:12 UTC
Because he Has It. I think I saw Lion King 4 times in the theater. It was one of those event movies for me. Death Cab falling asleep to is okay if you are actually just listening to it on your ipod, but I paid 70 bucks for that ticket. Not an exhilarating live band, is what I'm saying.
