Still Breathing

Hello my dear fans,

My apologies for such an extended period with no posts. I really did not think I had enough material for a full blog post but it's been awhile so I'm going to try anyway.

This may end up being a series of mini-posts.

Today I'll just write about life in general and perhaps in a few days I'll post an amalgamation of my adventures in Seoul so far.

The job is business as usual. In other words, one school is wonderful and one school is a nightmare. I try to care but I can only push so hard. My co-teacher has a habit of undermining my teaching; when I try to pronounce something for the students, she mispronounces it for them so they repeat after her. Three cheers for the dumbing down!

Okay, I feel a little better now.

Home life is pretty good. Pretty lax. I have a plethora of books to read now (I just finished Dearly Devoted Dexter and it was awesome) so that has kept me rather entertained.

I need to expand my cheap, at-home cooking skills. I thought I could live on rice and tuna but mom's been concerned about the mercury levels in tuna so I've been expanding my horizons. A little.

Dangerous stuff...

So I decided to try my luck at the chicken place across the road from my apartment building and I was pleasantly surprised. See, I did not know what I was ordering...

...because this magnet is the entire menu.

But I am rather comforted by the number 4 and its exponents so I went with that. I was not disappointed.

I call this the "Repeat Customer"

The tagline on the box:

"I don't think I've ever anything quite like it"

Halloween is this weekend but I haven't managed to procure a costume so I suppose I'll go as a 22 year old man-child who still loves video games and cartoons.

I would also like to take a moment to give a shout-out to everyone who has been helping me with their moral support. You are all very much appreciated.

I'll probably get my post about my Seoul-related antics up by week's end.

Goodnight, my freaky darlings!
