Being home for 2 months gave me the opportunity, as it does for everyone, to reflect further on my understanding of ye ol’ SK Pen. I tried to make a conscience effort to speak not only honestly but also also leaning more to the “positive objective” side of things. After seeing so many people, some [...]

Enough already
Travel wise, my family hasn’t had much luck as of late. FIrst was my 87 year old grandma that was trapped in Vancouver airport for more than 12 hours who than had to take a bus to get back to her house which I think took at least another 12 hours.
Then, hubby. Delayed flights, [...]

All that you want and more
We don’t have internet at the tin-o-minium yet and when it takes 3 minutes to load basic gmail … well, I can’t handle it and so haven’t written anything… not just a post but anything to anyone. That and at the rec center I either hear the piano playing that reminds me of the Overlook [...]

How do you do it over there?
I must have over 40 emails to answer … actually more since I never responded to birthday wishes or questions about me coming to visit people.
I am so freaking tired. Not just from all this but from the fucking neighbors (who I’ve never met) and there fucking dog that comes out every morning at 9 [...]

This is why I dropped you from my FB friend list
Then follow this link.
We weren’t even really ‘friends’. We worked together for 4 months. You’re value system and mine are completely different and yes, it was enough to make me drop you.
Yes, I did read the message you posted about how you were ’shocked that a friend could drop you [...]

Maybe you should talk about that in private
One thing that I’m not looking forward to about going to the US is some of the humour (notice my British-but-used-in-Canada spelling that’s always rejected by spellcheck). One thing that I don’t like is the ‘make fun of my spouse in front of others because we can’t deal with our own problems in private’ kind [...]

The apartment from hell
How did we pick such a crap hole.
Guess what I just found?
A mosquito.
In winter.
Less than a week ago it was freezing out. Even today the wind in this area was enough to cause one to go “oooo” and pull up their collar a little tighter.
1 month of freedom here I come. 9 sleeps. It’s [...]

My school bag’s too heavy
I think I’m actually starting to lean more to the right, physically that is, from the weight of my fancy-dancy Lodis, purchased from Winners, bag. Mine looks like that one in the link except it has white stitching not red and cost way way less than that.
Anyhoo.
Love the bag but it’s deceptive how much it [...]

The never ending saga of living in a crappy apartment in Seoul
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.`‘Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, Tis a water leak I said to myself, noticing the rain/snow that fell the other day, nothing more. But that was a few days ago, and said tapping is still happening, [...]

The reason you move up the food chain is so that there’re less a-holes to deal with
Today, I am pissed off. I try to be nice, I try to keep my massive temper under control. But when I am personally attacked I snap.
This isn’t about Koreans. No. This is about one Korean that is a f*ck head, here after called FH.
Let me describe FH so that you can get the [...]
