hello, hello, hello

i wasn't going to talk about work, but this has just got to be said. parents, if your child has socially crippling psychological problems, please get him the proper help. guess what? i'm not a child psychologist. i don't actually know what to do or how to react when a kid tries to gag himself after i tell him that no, he can't go have some water now because that is what the break is for. he just stuck out his finger, jammed down his throat, and gave that body shudder that happens right before somebody yaks. so yes, parents, if your child leaves a dangling modifier, i can help. if your child is action-packed with issues... well, it's not like right after my highschool crash course of cpr, they gave us psycho-analysis lessons.

ah, here's to biting off more than i can chew. cheers. cheers to all. still learning how to draw. i started my plan of going to deoksugung palace to draw buildings every weekend. it was a great way to spend 2 hours on sunday. plus, i did take the time to talk to the people who came and talked to me. kudos to me.

however, i think some anti-kudos have to be given to me as well- sad, i know, but i deserve them. even as i write this, i am breaking my self-improvement regiment: i should be taking this hour to do my korean lesson. also, last night, as i sat at "Sand-presso", my new favorite place, i wasn't translating sentences from korean into english. i don't remember the last time i played a game of chess or studied it. and to day is the 3rd day in a row that i skipped working out. and i talked myself into buying soda yesterday, even though i have been trying to quit. now guess what? i'm going to throw one more log onto the fire. i found a nice little nylon stringed classical guitar last night for 180,000 won. it's probably about $60 too much, but i'm actually in a position now where i can waste a little bit of money. i can't wait until i start ignoring that too.
