Classes are going well. Waiting to hear about my ticket to India. Feeling tired. Not going swimming today. Too close to the edge of a headache and I’m worn out. Practiced saxophone today for an hour. Was pleased to find nobody cared. No harassment, no attention except for the fact students looking for an empty room tended to look in the window—because the light was off—for a second until they realized someone was practicing in the room. Now I’m going to take a little nap. Ungh.

According to Seong Hwan
Last night after band practice, Seong Hwan and I hung out with Thai, drinking ginseng wine and talking. Among the many things we learned from Seong Hwan, here are the two most interesting. 1. Elliot Smith, the wonderful American folk singer, recently killed himself. Knife in the heart. Very sad. Listen to him, you’ll be as sad about it as I am. 2. The Korean euphemism for having sex all night long is “Man-li Jjangseong mandeul-da.” Make the Great Wall of China. Huh! Gotta go! By the way, my net connection at home is screwed, so I can’t check email …
Pumpkin Carving
Well, I carved pumpkins tonight at the Jeonju pre-Halloween Jack O’Lantern carving party at the Deep-in. It was strange at first: I started to feel a little blue, because of memories about the last time I carved pumpkins. I was looking at happy people around me, and trying to be happy with them, chat with them. And I decided to just forget last year, and live in the present. I decided to carve the best damn pumpkins I could! And I did! I personally carved two pumpkins: one was A Very Internet Pumpkin, which consisted of Western- and Korean-styled smiley …
한영애의 CD BEHIND TIME
이 CD를 듣었어요? 토요일 밤에, 공연 했고 우리 (서울 밴드 Plastic People의) 친구 김민규씨랑 작은 술집에갔어요. 밴드 같이 갔어요, 하지만 친구 이야기 했어서 나는 늦 왔어요. 그래서 밴드와 친구 술집에 만았어요? �n은 술집? 이름은 “술”인야고. 이 작은 술집 너무 좋았어요… 스타이을도 음악이 너무 좋아 했어요!!! 아줌마도 아저씨도 마났어요. 감자기 아주마는 노래 하는것 시작했고 너무 슬픈 노래 했어요. 기븐이 좋았어요. 그 밤에, “술”에, 특별 음악을 듣었어요: 한영애의 CD BEHIND TIME: A Memory Left at an Alley. 너무너무너무 좋아요. 한국의 옛날 노래 했고 새로운 장르를 만들었어요. 내 생각에는, 때때로 좀 Björk 같은 스타이을 이애요… 하지만 너무 다르다! 노래 한개 듣을수있어요: 이 것은 …
Why Blog?
One of my friends recently asked me that question: Why blog? My response was pretty long, and pretty rambling… but it can be boiled down to the following, which I suppose is a kind of mission statement or even a Blogger’s Manifesto. The following is therefore my, well, whatever it is… Mission Statement or Blogger’s Manifesto or whatever. I blog because my thoughts are interesting. If you don’t believe me, I can show you my site traffic information, showing thousands of people come here every month. Failing my refuge in that, I can show you my thoughts. You can judge …
