Well I've had a awesome couple of days, I definitely think having today off work was a big part of it.
Today I bought a PSP, oh yeah. Was a time-consuming process but hey it was pay-day yesterday.
On a completely unrelated note, I had a couple fo amazing days at Kung Fu, Monday I finished my first proper staff form, it's not much, but it's aweseom, and I also started onto the 6th part of Tantoi.
However, the major highlight of the last few days, nay couple of weeks, yesterday I succeeded in my first Kip-up. (Lying on your back and jumping to your feet)
It was the most amazing feeling.
Wow, what a happy post, well there you go, focus on the good. :)

The Departed

Ohk so I watched The Departed last night, ridiculously rave reviews and everything, I was doing other things at the same time so I didn't pay full attention (good ole tv out), but I thought it was pretty good, but I should probably watch it again.
I just have one niggle
Where the fuck did Mark Wahlberg go for the last third of the movie?
It seems like he would have made a lot of difference to the outcomes
Such an important character, but he kinda just disappeared, I wikipedia'd it and worked out that he'd been put on paid leave, but that's a pretty pathetic excuse, everyone knows that cops on leave work even harder than before, not just disappear completely
WTF?
I'm currently downloading the original to see if they have a better excuse.

Yes you are in the Right Place

Ok, so I've completely changed the look of my blog, I'm sick of having small pics so this was the best bet, it looks nothing like its original form, but I like white on black better.
Also note the gigantic font, awesomo.
And to my extended family, I have added a link to Tyler's blog. Check it out send him some love.

Happy Birthday Buddha

Well for all you non-buddhists out there, you know who you are, you might be surprised to know it is Buddha's birthday.
Do you wanna know how I know, it's a public holiday in Korea, hell yeah, day off.
What self-improving feats have I accomplished today I hear you ask, well I'm glad you asked.
I watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and drank a third of a bottle of rum.
Then went and watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3, yeah.
And that is all.

My Korean-English phrase book, has the word for lesbian club, and "is it legal" but not the word for lettuce.
WTF?

$30US for an iPod dock, I think not

This morning, I decided to myself I wanted an dock, so I had a look on the computer, 30+ bucks, crazy, luckily the 3rd post down on google was a flickr site of a guy who built his own.
So half an hour, a stick of blu-tak, and a cardboard box later, voila, yeah.

I am better than my kids

I have made an amazing discovery this week, I dominate my kindy kids at Paper/Scissors/Rock.
Some people may think it's cheating or just plain mean, but I have worked out how to beat my kids 90% of the time.
It involves the simple trick of waiting half a second more to giving your choice, they are completely oblivious.
Oh yeah, I rule

Write something new you lazy bum

Due mainly to Hamish's inspiring comment "write something new you lazy bum",
I thought maybe it's about time to write something new,
I'm sorry the posts have been dying down, but I don't really have time during the week, I get home after half 9 and I'm usually pretty dead, the weekends I don't have any excuse as you can see from the 4 nothing posts i made on Saturday.
Anyway, so my weekend, was the very definition of uneventful, I went out to an Irish bar, drank some beer and played some beer on Sat nite, and that was the sum total of my travels outside my room.
However this week has been good, it was teacher's day yesterday, got a random assortment of presents, and for the first time in my life I can actually I was happier to get the cards than the presents (from my kindy kids mainly.)
My gifts were quite varying, I got a couple of very obvious pass-the-present-on's such as some sun protecting lotion(sunscreen) and the amazing Slim Leg Lotion awesome.
Got a couple of flowers, some nice chocolates, some homemade soap, a few sets of socks, a couple of shirts, piece of jewellery that is best described as a nurses watch, a clock set in a key on a chain, in gold. And a Polo Black gift pack, nice.
But as I said the notes were the best, Kate's Dad sent me a note asking me to take good care of her girl, in such a nice way. Ann wrote her own card 산생님 알라뷰 - Sansaengnim(teacher)
al la byu (Simply I love you in Hangul, they don't have the 'I' sound or 'b')
It's awesome, it also helps that she is my favorite, I'm wondering what my chances of being able to steal her is. Hmm :P
Also got an awesoem card from the next level up "Dear Brad teacher teacher, thanks for your teaching", yeah, hmm maybe I can do a bit better.
And I got a nice selection of grateful thank yous and I love you's. Yay appreciation.
I renewed my Kung Fu for another month yesterday, so I'm officially in, really enjoying it most of the time, bought soe training bandages yesterday and today I gave the punching bag a bit of a run for it's money. It resulted in me trying out Dan's Jou for the first time, it's a herbal medicine that prevents bruising, my hands are nice and stained yellow now, yeah.
Ho-k so thats it for me right now
Hope everyone's well, feel free to gimme an email or jump on MSN or skype if you wanna chat sometime
Bye
