Thanks. ^^

It's on again at 9:30 I think.

That bit about 'bury my bones in the Korean soil', that's a bad translation of �ѱ�� ʹ�, which basically just means I'm a lifer but a more interesting way of saying it. Arirang has the worst translations sometimes.

For the 2%, I quickly went over a few things, visa-system-sucks-girls-with-little-talent-have-to-sleep-with-the-producer-to-be-a-star-companies-always-use-'jeong'-as-an-excuse-to-try-not-to-pay-factory-workers-get-treated-horribly,

air!

Razz

I did get around to the visa bit later though. Ha.

Before the show started taping I bored the host with a spiel about how the air force forcing NASA to use a delta wing instead of a regular one to reduce the area needed to land the thing increased costs beyond what they originally expected and raised weight as well making them have to tack on extra fuel. One thing she is not interested in is space. Unfortunately for her, after me she had to interview someone from NASA about a satellite to measure soil humidity.

BTW, where's your treadmill, at home?
I don't suppose you ever frequented California Fitness in Apgujeong? I love studying at the Starbucks there and watching people have a smoke before they start working out.

Good on ya man. I was interviewed by Arirang TV Nwes for a spot on Hogwons. I was told much later that it got picked up by CNN.

I have to ask though, I know you said you bored the H2H girl... but come on, seriously, is she really boring in person??

I can see a pic and a small blurb on http://www.arirang.co.kr/intro.asp but is there any way I can get video or read a transcript? Sounds great.

Congrats Mith!

My friend in NZ just told me that she's watching it so there must be a way.

Maybe you have to be a member though, I can't find it.

They spelled my name wrong, BTW. Mac, not Mc. No big deal.
