puddin and popular

pain. pain was the overwhelming feeling i had today in my knee. i think during my leap frog attempts yesterday in tae kwon do i pulled a muscle or something. this morning and all day i found it very painful to walk. my right knee throbbed all day. during the day and sketched periodically hoping to stretch out the muscle. tonight i'll ice it. hopefully all will be better by tomorrow.

for lunch horace, sammy, and i ran errands. actually they ran to the bank while i waited in my apartment for them. since i had some time to kill i decided to make some cheesecake pudding. when they came back we went to find the office manager so we could figure out how to control the heated floors. there seems to be some knob under the sink that controls the heat but we couldn't find it. after we were given a lesson 101 in heating our floors we set out for food. today we went to lotteteria, a korean fast food place. on the menu was squid burger and shrimp burger. i went with a bulgani burger which is beef. it was actually kind of tastey.

back at school i noticed a new plant in my room. they finally got rid of the one that died and replaced it with a new one. jk sat with horace and i to discuss the cell phones yet again. who would have thought that trying to get a cell phone would be so difficult. they didn't want us to buy these used ones we saw online for fear that they wouldn't work. jk told us that his brother-in-law was going to look for cheaper ones from his company. i told him that there was no way i'm going to pay 300,000 won which is around $300 for a phone. he said they might be able to find phones for 50,000 won and if they find ones a little more than he would pay the difference. hopefully this situation will get solved before i leave korea. one of our students mom, who is a home economics teacher in high school brought some rice rolls to school for us. they were so good.

for dinner i decided on mac and cheese. so good. horace came by around 8:30 and we watched popular and had puddin. we were only going to watch 2 episodes but we couldn't stop. i forgot how good it was. we settled on three which means next week we are only allowed to watch 1. we're going to try to prolong the viewing of popular as long as we can. we have 19 episodes left. there's nothing like puddin and popular on a good evening.

i think its time to ice down the knee. watch a bit of bad tv. i noticed jaws 2 is on and then get some sleep. until tomorrow…
