Personally, I don't know what you're all going on about. With gochu sauce included in every dish made in Korea, who needs anything else? Don't you know, it's the mother's milk of food?

I miss people who have some idea of how to fucking operate their fucking vehicles.

Yesterday, and this is absolutely true folks, I got swerved into twice in the space of around 3 minutes, on my way back home.

There I was, on my bike, pedalling away, thinking about whether showing pictures of myself pretending to wank on the internet might have contributed to me not getting the job I went for, and then, as I pass this old bitch on a shitty bike, she just twats into me, trapping the fingers of my left hand against her handlebars. I yelp, shake my head and ride away.

I cross the road, bomb down a nice bit of hill, get overtaken by a delivery van...who......cuts me up! Stops, sandwiching me between his Korean piece of shit and another Korean piece of shit.

I yell, 'CUNT. Why are you so shit at driving?!' Then I hear chortles from the onlookers. '10th largest economy...semi-finalists of the pissing World Cup..yeah? Well open your rancid little eyes next time, anus face.'

There's one in Yongsan Garrison, but if you want diarrhoea that much you should probably just drink tap water.

Stuff I miss from home... Well:

my guitar, my cottage, campfires on the beach, diners (and all the greasy goodness they serve), cheap gourmet ice-cream, my favorite brand of cigarettes (cough cough), mom's lasagna, dad's homemade fries, lobster and scallops (that don't cost a million dollars), stars in the skies at night, my car, deserts (homemade varieties of cake, pies, squares, etc.), etc...

(not all food, obviously, but had to through those others in as they came to my head as I was typing).

i'm at home right now and i gotta tell ya, it's been a hedonistic binge of everything i missed. drugs, food, good beer, clothes i like, getting naked at the beach... i gave myself permission to gain 5lbs while i'm home. i think i've stayed within my limit.
my suitcase is so full of stuff to bring back, though to be fair a lot of it is stuff i picked up for friends. yeah. i'm too nice.
rss Cool
