Wearing: jeans, tshirt.

Drinking/eating: coffee.

Listening to: shitty muzak jazz, occasionally interrupted by the staff of Holly's Coffee announcing orders for pickup over loudspeakers, in a way that demonstrates how it will take years and years for Koreans to have the remotest fucking clue about anything.

Thinking: about the article I'm reading on the dialogical self; also about murdering members of staff at Holly's Coffee. Also, about dragging Korean drivers from their cars and beating them senseless for using their horns unnecessarily.

Planning: To go and get drunk very soon.

Wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

Listening to Underwaterbob - Lie Zi (me, it needs lyrics and I listen to figure out what to do with it)

Not drinking or eating anything but I just finished a ciggy.

Planning on going to Songgye valley in about ten minutes. Later tonight I'm planning on getting drunk at a going away party for a local foreigner.

I am not talking about jam. Jam is what you spread on toasts..

OK.. I guess you COULD called gelatine... but we, in Derby, have always called it jelly, which you eat as a pudding or a snack.

Jam is jelly in the US yes? Jelly is jello in the US. Jam is jam in Aus & the UK & jelly is jelly there too. Am I right?

Jam/Jelly comes in a jar & is spread on toast or bread. Jelly/jello is a big wobbly dessert made from water & gelatine.

I used to always get confused as a kid when they used to refer to peanut butter & jelly sandwiches on Sesame Street. Jelly on sandwiches is just wrong! Well in the UK & Aus it is.

Wearing : grandpa long sleeve, zero underpants at this time, crocs.

Drinking/eating: Single malt whisky bestowed on me by my sister. She got wind of me having the mutters at her ingratitude after I had burned great compilations for her. Obviously didn't want me to cut her off.

Listenin to: Murray Head doing say it aint so. I'm looking for another song with that line in the lyric. It was a movie soundtrack. Not weezer.

Thinkin: Today I creamed some other paddlers canoeing or as some call it kayaking. Fills my brain.

Planning: On arrival in Korea I'm gonna get a smoothy maker first thing. Veges, fruit, everything will be in form of smoothy. Makes a racket it does. Will show Koreans that the waygukin also knows how to make a noise.
