"A pig's gotta fly." - Porco Rosso

So...
I guess it's been a while since I've updated... or perhaps it feels exceptionally longer because the last blog I posted was about an event that occurred on November 3rd... yars. Anyway, I guess I should be brogging at a more rapid pace considering that I have a tendency to forget things a short while after it happens. It's weird.. I have selective memory except I feel as if I don't get to select what I remember. Fucking bullocks. So... I try to take as many pictures as I can so I can use them as reference points because my memory sometimes fails me. So dear friends, if I happen to forget an event that you may consider to be of UTTER importance, and holy shit.. how the hell can I forget to mention that or even you for that matter? Forgive me! Despite my demigod-like appearance, I am also susceptible to human fallibility.

So, on with the show.
Joe came to visit me! He arrived November 16th... he had never left the country before so what better place to start than Seoul?! I took him to do random ass things... for instance, exploring neighborhoods such as Hongdae, Itaewon, and Insadong.. and then we basically just hung out a lot and woke up at ridiculously late hours of the day.. which will not be remain unnamed.. for the sake of saving face. Anyway, we did this and that.. were here and there. I won't bore you with the specifics. Joe seemed to take an extreme liking to the batting cages conveniently located right next to my humble abode... I'm making a promise to myself to go to the batting cages at least once before I go home... although I have a very rational fear(don't tell me it's not) of being barraged by a constant stream of baseballs hurled at ridiculous bruise inducing speeds.. perhaps even getting knocked in the face and having my glasses broken. Anywhere but the glasses!! Eep. Joseph and Jake taught us how to play Sa-gu (4-ball).... it's a pretty neat game. It's intensely fun! And addicting... Anyway... I'm going to allow the next line of pictures do the talking

Chungyeochung.... seemingly mild weather that soon turned into a "shit-storm" (a Gelly-ism, if you will).. we were pelted with massive amounts of what masqueraded itself as snow.. when it really was just piles and loads of sludgy rainy mess... Think of someone hurling tons of slurpy at you and maybe you'll get the idea.... and I got hit in the eye!! How that happens with a scarf wrapped completely around my head(Thanks Ames!) and glasses, I'll never know.. but it wasn't pleasant.. I'll tell you that much.



chud in the cable car! up to mount namsan to see seoul tower

Seoul Tower.. in all its shiny and phallic glory...

Big ups to San Francisco!





hyuk hyuk hyuk...

Anyway, I'm going to cut this one short... sorry that's become a bad habit of mine lately. Look here soon for posts to come.... the HP event + Temple stay.... yeh yeh.
