You have the right to drunk dial (A welcome back story to Blogging)

Dear Readers,

Welcome back.

That was geared more towards me than to you. Its a Thursday night and I've just finished watching my favorite Korean soaps and its on to the zany (but actually unfunny) Korean comedies (for an example, click this ). Then, it hit me. The reason why I haven't blogged in so long. The force that was keeping my brain from typing my pointless blurbs about the motherland:

They've got me.

It was somewhere between my second helping of Kimchi and cheering for the Korean soccer team, that I realized that somewhere along the line, I put down the red, white, and blue and traded it for red, white, and blue...hmm bad example.

But I'm back, and I promise never to stray from this blog which keeps the bridge between me and Americaland (as they affectionately call it here). So lets catch you up on a month of me:

• A birthday has come and gone. It was uneventful. Really. A cake and some beer. Pictures aren't necessary. I'm 23. I eagerly await the day when my car insurance gets lowered.
• I've started piano lessons. Its an hour everyday before work where I play a glorified version of chopsticks in a 5 by 5 cell with a chair designed for a six year old. I mean, look at that book. I hope to swoon Korean women with a rousing version of the "the elephant march" or "goodnight moon".
• I love Lost. Its bad. I wait every week for Thursday morning to come (that's Wednesday night for you). They usually post the shows for download an hour after its on TV and it couldn't come any sooner. As I type, I'm about to watch the craziness unfold on my computer screen through this freshly downloaded episode. Thank you Internet, thank you.
• I use Skype. Simply put, its the reason the Internet is around. I have the ability to place calls from my computer to any telephone all across the globe for mere pennies. Plus, I get a local number where people can call me. I can even forward it to my cell phone, so I can hear all of you sweet voices wherever I might travel to.

So brush up on your Korean. Here's a start.

안녕 everybody! ah hem... I mean, catch you all later.
