<p>last nite, i was torn over whether or not to go to praktice, considering my sick, sick state. &nbsp; i figured i'd go to praktice if n' only if kaela wanted to go. &nbsp; i sort'f wanted to skip. &nbsp; well, kaela wanted to go, so we went. &nbsp; we were late tho'. &nbsp; then, we left b4 teaching the adult beginners. &nbsp; kaela n' i went to the cupertino fantasia in search'f warm grass jelly 4 my cold, but they apparently don't serve it till wintertime. &nbsp; we saw our friend elaine there as well as some other ppl from our church that i <i>sort'f</i> know... but 'pparently not well 'nuff to say hi. &nbsp; oh well... &nbsp; we came home n' ate some leftovers from the wknd n' watched 'nother episode'f <a href="http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/drama/samsoon/index.html" target="new"><i>내 이름은 김삼순 nae ireumeun kim samsoon</i></a> (on dvd). &nbsp; it's a really fun show. &nbsp; 1 interesting thing 'bout it: 삼순 samsoon's rival's played by a gurl named 정려원 jung ryuhwuhn. &nbsp; (oh, she's from the group chakra!) &nbsp; the charakter has spent time in <font color="red">am</font><font color="#555555">eri</font><font color="blue">ka</font> n' speaks english. &nbsp; however, the aktress speaks w/ a distinktive <i>australian</i> accent. &nbsp; now, usually, asian.ams r <i>soooo</i> frickin' impressed when they observe an asian person speaking english w/ a european or australian accent. &nbsp; however, w/ her... it kind'f detrakts... it almost <i>annoys</i> me... cos i <i>know</i. she's <i>s'pposed</i> to have an <font color="red">am</font><font color="#555555">eri</font><font color="blue">kan</font> accent n' not an aussie accent. &nbsp; still, it's always fun 4 an asian.am guy like me to observe <i>asians</i> speaking english on <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rean</font> tv. &nbsp; like, on those <i>game shows</i>, it's totally fun when an amerikan.<font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rean</font> comes on. &nbsp; like, no offense, but it's not the same to watch a non.asian person speak english on <font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rean</font> tv... that's just expekted... but to watch an asian person speak english, that's fun. &nbsp; pershaps, cos we asian.ams identify w/ that english.speaking asian. &nbsp; it's like, we want to imagine what it'd be like 4 some1 like us to enter the world'f asian/<font color="#770000">ko</font><font color="#000099">rean</font> entertainment. &nbsp; i s'ppose it happens.
<p>lately, i've noticed that 'lot'f my friends who usually blog rn't bloggin' these days. *shrug* is bloggin' going out'f style? &nbsp; 'f course not! &nbsp; maybe it's just the well.known phenomenon that <font color="red">am</font><font color="#555555">eri</font><font color="blue">kan</font> werkers r being very overwerked these days. &nbsp; yah, maybe... &nbsp; i know <i>i</i> don't have time to journal like i used to. &nbsp; i admit that the quality'f my journal sure isn't as good as it <i>used to</i> be. &nbsp; i admit: 2002년 was prob'ly the best yr'f my journal ever. &nbsp; my life was <i>very</i> dynamik then, n' i had more free time as an unemployed grad student.<br><br><br>
