random korea recap.

dude in subway. grossest dude sitting across from me; he keeps reaching into the back of his mouth with his finger, taking it out, then wiping whatever grossness on his shirt/pants. i think i’m gonna puke! so fucking gross. keeps smelling his hand, too. i surely hope that this guy never touches anything i ever touch ever. i’m going to touch nothing in the subway ever again!

[other posts about korea upcoming, soon... hopefully...]

life is weird.

i’m listening to… arms and sleepers’ matador album. so. good. my review here. i mean, a huge part of me thinks that this album is not THAT special — there’s probably a lot of albums that sound like this — but i’m really loving the shit out of it and have with every listen i’ve listened to it.

in portland for a coupla days, and i’ve just been hanging out. this is what people do in portland. i wonder if it’s good or bad. i almost feel like people hang out SO much they always kinda need to be doing something. but i figure that’ll become familiar in due time and one can break away and have nerd alone time pretty easily. who knows. dunno what i’m yammerin on about.

life is weird, man. i think i’m tired, i just commented on xinlei‘s blog and wrote “propetuate” instead of “perpetuate,” what the fuck! and my punctuation is terrible, too!!!!

my gums have been seriously unhappy lately, man. i dunno wtf the deal is but it’s kinda freakin me out.

this is funny, i was just looking at xinlei’s korea blog and these are the categories that were in the right-hand side of the page:

Cafes Crazy Drivers Cupcakes Daejeon Deadwood DMZ Dr. Fish Ewha Food Hangang Park Holidays Hyehwa Insadong Korea Korean Dramas mosquitoes Namsan Tower News Opera Palace Phone Pyeongtaek Seoul Grand Park Zoo Shopping Students Teaching The Magic Flute Travel Weather

makes korea out to be hella freaking crazy!!! dr. fish?? the magic flute??? cupcakes??? what the fuck is this place?!!!

anyhoot.

future roommates shawn and andrew have been cool and i think we will get along swimmingly. been watching a shitload of movies — “eXistenZe” and “perfume” yesterday. good schtuff. the positive thing about potentially living in portland is that people are a lot more alike me as far as interests go. granted, these people live in seattle, obviously, too, but i don’t know them, or i know few of them, or maybe i’m just used to being less social in seattle? i really don’t know. it’s weird.

again, i say, life is weird!

hung out with aaron earlier for just a sec, and it’s kinda a strange thing to think about when strangers in such a scenario become friends. first off, you know each other not at all and you’re kind of in completely different worlds with no mutual friends and just connected by music. then to know each other well and to be like familiar with each other and see the other side of things that were previously completely completely foreign and confusing is reallllllllllllllllllly kinda weird to think about. initially, i didn’t think it was all that weird, but it’s pretty freaking weird. i guess there a lots of relationships forged through random interactions, but usually they are sparked by something a little more tangible — mutual friends, work-related meetings, craigslist postings, even. there’s less an air of mystery in such scenarios as they have a gradual reveal… i suppose everything has a gradual reveal but not quite in such a way. or maybe because they have more of an underlying purpose that spurns them forth.

yesterday i got a wee bit high while watching “eXistenZe,” and it was weird, because i guess i don’t usually question relationships i’ve forged in life THAT deeply. i mean, i do. but not to the extent that i was this particular evening, and none of it was nice or pretty; it was all kind of nerve-wracking and self-doubting and weird, and all spurned on by this ridiculous movie. didn’t really like it at all (the feeling, that is. loved the fucking movie).

earlier today i found a fucking huge stash of redefine interviews and stuff that were in the print issues but i never put them online. fucking motherfucking oops big time. made me feel like an idiot bright and early in the morning, that’s for SURESKIS.

korea in less than a week.

i have hellzaz back entries to write up, but they require so much braaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

random plane jumble scramble.

so, i don’t usually do the television thing all that much because i simply don’t really have access to a television ever. and even when we realized that we magically had cable television in our 716 house in greenlake, i never used it.

hence, it’s kinda exciting catching up on television while flying on jetblue. i wouldn’t pay for television because i’d simply rather listen to music or watch movies than watch television, but since it’s here, and it’s free, i watch it a lot. and i must say, I LOVE PROJECT RUNWAY! I LOVE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS! I LOVE TOP CHEF! etc. etc. pretty much bravo is the best channel ever…!

anyhoot, i’m flying on my way from san francisco to long beach right now, and then i have a five hour layover, and then i fly back to seattle. wee!! been eating like a pig lately… it’s really quite piggish. but yeah. watching fairly oddparents. and it rules. ^__^

i’m pretty excited to go back to seattle.

also, i’m going to korea and taiwan next month; it’s pretty much decided. i was right about ready to settle down and just live somewhere again, but the opportunity to see my 90-year-old grandma and simultaneously visit xinlei in korea just seems way too attractive to not do. so i shall do do do do.

anyways. i would recap right now because i actually feel like writing mindlessly, but unfortunately, my ipod touch is kinda running out of batteries and i think i want to conserve them for a later time (aka when i’m riding the bus from the airport to downtown seattle later). moo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
