Weekend to Weekend
let me begin by saying that rarely do i come out on the other end of a weekend here in Pohang and think to my self "wow. that was a good weekend." not that most of them are particularly bad...I just don't usually give myself time to think about whether a weekend was good or not. i get ushered into the week and i almost forget about the past weekend until the next one hits.

this weekend has been good. went to Live Story on Friday...played "Caledonia" for Hannah and her Scottish friends who were here visiting. then i sort of ran out of ideas so i improvised two songs...and i really enjoyed them. i guess the only thing that sucks about improvising songs live is that it's hard to get them down on paper later. maybe it's better that way.

yesterday i stayed in, ordered a pizza and played Sims2 (which is only about 1/59th as satisfying without you, Teija, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do) until Joelle got home. then we finished Middlemarch and she made this awesome dinner...pasta, cheese arepas, and tofu eggs. it was wonderful.

this morning i had my breakfast, got all gussied up and went down to Jukdo market to goof off and buy donuts from the vendors. ended up coming home with a bag of cookies, a bag of dried persimon, and some fresh-made kimchee mandu (which i ate half of while i was walking around). met up with a friend, Mary, sort of randomly and we had coffee...then i came home and played some more Sims2 and had a nice chat with Joelle (who went to see the cherry blossoms in Gyeoung Ju today).

i'm looking forward to this week. Voting Day is wednesday so we get a day off...I'm trying to arrange something for Tuesday night with a bunch of people but i'm not sure how that's going to go. Joelle's birthday is Thursday (and so is payday!) and she wants to go do this traditional Korean dinner. I'm really excited about that. then it'll be the weekend again. yay!

hope everyone's doing well :)
