The threat of nuclear annihilation from the North is the worst thing that could happen. Fortunately, the probability of that happening is very low, whereas the plunging won is imminent.

You'd think that the Norks would know that nuking SK would be really bad for them...kinda like eating where you shit, or whatever the phrase is.

Well, the weather is pretty mild in the winter and I'm generally not here during the summer, I don't think there's a huge threat from north, the plummeting won sucks, but I can hold on to my money and wait... But Christmas music is an amalgamation of all of top pop crap from the last 200 years.

Who could hate "Silver Bells"? I miss Christmas music. And the Malls, and the lights, and the carolers. Can't say I really miss the snow.

What's so terrible about the weather? I seem to remember the past few winters being sunny with blue skies, for the most part. Perfect beautiful hiking weather too. Better than the dreary, miserable and wet Scottish winter I was used to at least!

if you can walk down the street ignoring children saying HELLO, adjosshis and wannabes talking smack about you because they think you don't understand, irrepressible staring and the smell of sweat, kimchi and soju, Christmas music is pretty easy to tune out.

the nukes from the Norks, I envision them launching a nuke like Wiley Coyote, they'd probably accidently drop it on themselves.

the weather this time of year, the wind actually makes me think that maybe some of the pollution in getting swept away.

but dang if it don't hurt to have upped my teaching hours to about 6 or 7 a day, a 50% increase, just to have most of it eaten up with f'all I can do about it.
