gone with the mean, in with the clean

so yeah, here's before and after the massacre.

amazing what some clippers will do to make you feel like a new person. anyway, it's been over a week since i last posted. nothing significant has happened. though the breeze has picked up at night, the days have been pretty exceptional. today there wasn't a cloud in the sky so the sun was quite bright. i took advantage of it and played soccer with some of the students at kwang hee for a few minutes in the afternoon. i've been down to the little gym they have here at the co-op a few times but other than that, skooling 8-year old kids in soccer is the only exercise i've been getting. that, and walking everywhere. oh, and badminton once with ben. that's all. i feel alright though and may have even lost a couple pounds but that's mostly because i'm not eating as much as i did back home. don't worry mom, i won't wither away.

been out a few times here and there for drinks and dinner with friends, shopped around the malls in the area, found a few new places to eat, went to another baseball game last week, and am saving some money. other than that, things are good.

upcoming events and such:

fc seoul is playing their final game of the regular season tomorrow so a few of us are going to go to that. it's at the world cup stadium which is still fairly new and the crowds are a lot bigger than the baseball games we've been going to so i'm really looking forward to it.

ozomatli plays a show for like 1,000 won ($1) on thursday. not sure what the promotion is there but i may go. who knows.

starsailor are playing here in about a month. not a huge fan but the concerts here are few and far between. i think i read that beyonce and ciara play the same night within walking distance. whatever.

my teacher buddy caitlin told me yesterday that the shins are rumoured to be playing a show here soon too. i checked out their website and they're definitely playing shows in japan so maybe they'll end up here too. that's pretty exciting and i'll definitely make it to that one.
