Sick tonight. Was sick yesterday too. Girlfriend looked after me last night and this morning, but now I'm all by my lonesome. Drinking tea, or anything that gets me over this sickness (don't trust Korean doctors really).

But you know, sometimes it's a good break to get sick because it makes you stay home on a Sat. night, which is actually quite nice once in a while. Hopefully it snows tomorrow... and nobody can go out. Because if I can't, then nobody should! Razz

My day turned out pretty decent. The pumpkin bread is tasty; I tried something different with the chicken (used up a can of cocanut milk) and finished my TR Pearson novel. Didn't do any painting because the naps took up the extra time. Had a nice dinner downtown.

Saw a bunch of stars when I was driving into town, so I think maybe the forecast for snow is off.

Not at all sure how to react to someone who thinks spending a day alone is either (necessarily) lonely or sounds like a grandma. I enjoyed my day.

I quiet like days alone. I find teaching such a social job that I like the time by myself. However I also feel a need for adult company as well.

It's almost 8:30 and I've got the general house cleaning done. What to do? What to do? It looks too yucky to go outside (I'm planning to go out for galbi jjim tonight, but that's 10 hours away.)

I think I'll:

a) Use up my can of pumpkin by making some pumpkin bread with dried cranberries this morning.


another exciting diary entry from attaboy.

Ever heard of MSN messenger?

Everything is white where I am.

All these families appeared out of nowhere and are building snowmen and throwing snowballs - and it's almost midnight!

The guy walking down the road is in it up to his ankles....

What a strange day, weather-wise! Shocked

Woke up, and it was gray and disgusting and ranky and stanky.

Then, the wind blows it all away! Very Happy

Then, it snows, big time!

Anyway, my mother arrived safely from New Zealand (on her way back to Mother England, having taught disgusting Maori girls for a year, the poor soul) and is asleep in the SPIN household. I wanted to go to a hoff and get the old bird royally smashed, but too tired sadly.

I've recently ditched my Korean girlfriend and have nothing better to do than log on to my beloved Daves and post the foregoing drivel. I did exchange some texts in Korean to Qinella, but I didn't quite follow your last one, mate, because you speak the lingo much better than me. I speak good textbook Korean, but if it's colloquial or natural in any way, I totally don't get it, which is a shame, because I'm an otherwise talented student.

It started snowing about 2 hours ago here... and didn't get very far. We had some nice fat flakes & it started to stick... but no real staying power.
