Oddments

I feel like blogging but don't have much to blog about.

A lot of things happen in the next week. A friend of mine from the US is arriving to live in Incheon, pretty close to me. A girl I met in June who went to Europe for six weeks will be returning on the 20th. My school starts the regular semester and all the teachers and students return. All Star Superman #12 is released, concluding one of the best Superman stories ever told. I get a paycheck that I really need - I paid $2000 on my student loan and kind of overreached myself, but that debt's down to $2300 and should have it paid by October 10th! Plus a "celebrity" commenter at Ninja-tek ("kev") celebrates his birthday.

While I'm living in "the Asia" I'd like to go see a martial arts competition (like The Karate Kid).

Miya is going to Japan this week and wanted me to go with her - I might've but I had work to do. I'm tempted to travel beyond Korea in my year here since I'll have the vacation time. But the time off is in winter and I'll probably want to get away from these northern countries then. Odds are I'll just stay in Korea till next June and save my money, doing big travel in the aftermath.

I'm showing Pee-wee's Big Adventure to my kids at school. I was looking for a recent picture of Paul Reubens and did a google image search. My co-teacher saw the pictures of him being arrested and asked what he did. "Uh..." I said. "I... forget."
