my apartment is getting homier by the second.

i now have a toaster oven which i bought off of cinthia, along with a bunch of baking supplies. on sunday, james and i stopped at i love cookie (a store with a ton of overpriced foreign foods, one subway stop from me) and bought duncan hines brownie mix. i’m a little too excited to make those tomorrow.

after kieran left for home this weekend, james raided his apartment and got me this wonderful floor mat/rug i’m currently sitting on. then we went back up there later, and i swiped a few mugs (including this cute polkadot one) and a bowl.

also, yesterday i put up my christmas tree (which was already in my apartment) and a stocking (which came in the mail from grandma yesterday).

i’ve only been here for 4 months. i can’t imagine how much crap i’m going to have to leave here in july.

ahopsi:

MAD WORLD by Gary Jules

from Original soundtrack :: Donnie Darko(2004)

great song.

and watching this movie with someone who went to the high school it was filmed at is kind of hilarious… “dude. she just walked out of the chapel, and now she’s sitting outside the auditorium. that’s like a 5 minute walk. there’s no way.”

one month early. don't judge me.

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:52:00 +0900

today i got a big box full of christmas presents in the mail from my grandma and my aunts. so i came straight home after work, set up the little christmas tree in my apartment, turned all my christmas lights on, and opened my presents.

“secretly, we’re all a little obsessed with the idea of love. koreans are just much more honest about it.”

"i just want to eat rice and die."

“i just want to eat rice and die.”

- sangwoo (the hilarious concluding sentence of his essay about taking a trip to the sun.)

why i love teaching 4th graders.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:04:23 +0900

i spent half of today with only my left pinkie nail painted neon pink.

it's getting longer.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:02:30 +0900

the list continued…

7. bake and eat brownies

8. visit the DMZ with new cameras

9. find a bowling alley

10. go exploring in insadong

the problem with winter is that i just want to stay in my sweatpants all day, but then i remember that i have to go to work.

(via mister bokeh)

i consider myself to have “flickr crushes” on the work of a few amateur photographers. mister bokeh is one of those photographers. i’ve loved his photos since the first time i searched “bundang”. then i realized tonight, that i actually know him in real life. how small this world is. i feel a little creepy.

tuesdays with veronica and james.

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:52:01 +0900

gogi mandu. fried shrimp mandu. mandarins. korean grapes. coffee.

these people never fail to fill my stomach to the point of sickness.

solidsecrets:

One of Sarita’s 6th grade students description of his friend. Priceless.

i love our job. one of james’ students wrote an essay last week that ended with the sentence, “and then they went home and intercoursed.” i love it when they use their dictionaries. it always ends up being hilarious.
