I've got a scratchy throat, which sucks. I live in an officially 3rd world country for 2 years and never get sick (except for a few food poisonings) and I come home to the bountiful plains of Texas and I get a cough. So I hate doctors on a professional level, so I covered a salt & vinegar chip with hot sauce to help itch the scratch, or scratch ( Read more... )

I bought a set of these things. Those of you who know how they work give me any special tips or advice that you can think of. This means you, Pturing, if you ever read my journal. I'm thinking of using them here.

Please let me know.

Your starry eyed aquaintance.

Lou soleou me fai canta, et tou me fai caga.

Well I have to admit it has been hell here sometimes. Some other foreigner described living in Korea as "Exciting Hell". I wouldn't call it that but admittedly things are moving fast here.

I was listening to American Forces Radio the otherday. Yeah, its funny. Propoganda radio. And I forced my students to listen to music from "Hedwig." Then I had them talk to me about how they felt about transvestites. I love confucous conservatism ( Read more... )

I read the thing about uploading them to some third website...I'm not sure I understand so I think I might give up for now. Elsa, can I email them to you for you to upload for me?

Yeah, well not really. I live in Bundang, which is a town just south of the capitol, but close enough to be connected to the metro, so sometimes I ride the Seoul train...I love Seoul food! OK I'll stop. But really. Some (actually only one) of you have asked for my opinion of my current place of sojourn so here it is unabriged, this is mostly ( Read more... )

OK Dan, just when I need you you're not around, don't respond to my wooing notes sent from afar, nor heed my replies to your livejournal. But I have a question that perhaps Jack the Pumpkin King can answer also. See, you'd get along just fine with these Korean dudes because they are INSANE about baseball, almost as much as the Japanese, who are ( Read more... )
