The End is Nigh

Part of the reason I've been not blogging very much lately is because a) I've been super-busy with other stuff, and more importantly, applying for another job.
I've been interning/working as a researcher at one of the SKY universities for the past year, since finishing up at their language school. While I love the work and especially the time it gave me to pursue my own research and leisure activities, eventually the time came where I needed to look at something that was going to allow me to eat something other than ramyeon two meals out of three. So, starting next week I'll be working at a major international institution, and I don't quite yet know how this will affect my blogging and other activities. I'm excited about the change, a little sad about leaving, and generally going insane trying to get everything together.

포뇨포뇨포뇨!

Dang, that's some happy stuff! My new goal in life is to learn this song, then sing it to annoy my enemies. Plus, the cuteness would render me immune to anything they might plot against me. If you can't hit a girl, you can't possibly hit a girl giggling and singing "포뇨, 포뇨, 포뇨 아기 물고기!"

Starting the New Year Wrong

Every solar and lunar new year, I go through the checklist of taboo and required actions. In particular for the new year:
Have things clean and tidy
Pay all your debts
Eat ddeokguk (to get a year older ... because that's what I'm really longing to do)
Greet people properly
Wear new clothes
etc., etc.
and every year my luck sucks for the first few months. Well, NO MORE! This year I left my apartment a disaster area before heading south to spend time with the family. I left without paying my rent, and I haven't paid my bro back for the train tickets he bought me. I took a stab at wearing new clothes, but the new baby spit up on them before I'd been in them more than an hour, so I changed back into my well worn (and slightly dirty) clothes. I worked on a few projects and bits of research. The only thing I did properly this whole time was eat ddeokguk, because I would have starved if I hadn't. Let's see if abandoning all pretense of making a good start to the new year does something to turn it around!
Ohhh, Gomushin Girl is such a rebel!

Confession

So . . . echem. Yeah, not much posting going on here.
Here's the thing: Despite my grandiose opening statement made some months ago, this blog was never ever meant to really be anything more than practice. I needed to get in the habit of writing regularly so that I would keep up with some other, more important blogging projects. I figured I'd start a personal blog, do a little writing until I got into the swing of things, and see what happened from there. Really, I presumed that I could just slowly write less and less, but now, gosh darn it, I'm getting as many comments here as I do on my main blogging endeavors, so I might as well keep writing. I won't write often (here) and I won't be consistent (HA! as if I ever could be) but what the heck.

OI! OI! OI!

Yes, I did pass this on to Roboseyo. Sometimes our evil plans to get a song stuck in our arch-nemesis' brains backfire . . . hmm, on to plan B for the destruction of Roboseyo. Anybody know where I can get a set of rubber pants and lessons in Yiddish?

On a related note, I am disconsolate that Skunk Hell is closed. Whatever will I do now?

Actually, Roboseyo, This is More Me

I don't know what gives me more pleasure: picturing your mug on the dad, the monster, or the little girl.
