Not a whole lot has changed since my last post, however, last night Lauren and I went out for beer and chicken with friends which is always fun.  Within a minute of being there I knocked the glass holding the napkins onto the floor shattering it.  These things happen.  The food was fabulous as usual and it was even funnier when the waitress tried to talk us out of ordering buffalo wings because most Korean's don't finish the plate because it's too salty.  Little do they know that every restaurant table in the U.S. has a mandatory salt shaker to ensure our Sodium levels never drop below dangerously high.  The night ended with a three way cribbage match and squid jerky ... always a good time.  

Anyways, the real reason I posted tonight was because of the two ridiculous things I witnessed today.  First off, as I was killing time before school I did the most American thing I could think of ... sat on my ass and watched T.V.  The only show in English was VH1's "most fabulous life" and the topic was "celebrities families".  Please bear in mind Korea is probably 3 years behind in all American pop culture news so the episode I watched had Ashlee Simpson as the most promising celebrity family member.  I wish it was the early 90's so I would have had the chance to watch VH1 claim that Milly Vanilly would be the next big thing because that's the only analogy I can think of to describe that scenerio.  Thank God I have yet to see an SNL episode here because the Koreans would be crushed if they realized the next Simpson prodigy can't sing a note and even though her sister was the same way, doesn't have any sort of sex appeal to fall back on.  It's a tough world Ashlee but move to Korea and you can maybe pick up the "Pieces" of your career.

This was the first thing I witnessed today.  After coming home from work I drifted off to sleep while watching the Tommy Lee Jones smash hit "Volcano".  I awoke because though my T.V. was on, there was a much louder noise seeping its way into my room.  Naturally thinking a loud show had came on I looked at the T.V. only to realize it was an infomercial for some product I can't pronounce and this horrendous singing had to be coming from elsewhere.  I tracked the sound to my storage closet where the adjacent window had a woman sitting in front of a mirror singing her voice out.  I watched in bewilderment hoping I'd see another person emerge and laugh because this girl was trying to be such a comedian.  Unfortunately I had no such luck.  This girl was literally singing as loud as she could into the mirror with more passion then Rudy in the last minute of his feature film.  After a minute of confusion I decided the only way to send my life back into forward progress was to play Atmosphere as loud as possible hoping she would get the point.  Naturally I chose the song "Godlovesugly" (nothing against her ... well maybe her voice ... it's just my favorite song) and when the song had completed I looked outside and saw the window was shut and she was nowhere to be seen.  Only in Korea my friends, only in Korea.  I hope all is still going well and enjoy college football because pressing reload on ESPN.com doesn't compare to the real thing.
