deery-lou.
another weekend has come and gone. i had my second round of acupuncture on saturday morning. starting to feel alot better. i love acupuncture! around 5 pm i headed off for seoul. chen was having a mini gathering at her new hongdae pad poetically called nabi jib [butterfly house]. we sat around drinking wine, eating pringles, and talking trash. afterall it is all about trash talk. topics of converstion: boys, music, art, boys, and more boys. welcome to high school. later we were off to fishhook [not sure if thats the name or not] bar where a bunch of bands where playing. chen had gotten a text saying the mustangs were going to play. thats all we needed. the show rocked. the mustangs keep getting better and better. the drummer played the entire set shirtless and for the last song took of his pants. sweet! everyone enjoyed the show and i believe we added two more fans [ruth and arleen] to "the officially unoffical mustang fanclub" or toumf for short. i really need to get a life.

hangin on the rooftop

the club's motto seems to be "are you fish?" that became the question of the evening. and one that i think i'll use when i'm home visiting in august. they had some stickers. i took one. chen put one on my chest. we are silly. but we aren't fish. arleen managed to bust in on msl while he was in the bathroom. at the time he was washing his hands. at least we know he has good hygiene. from the fish bar chen, olivia, and i went to seom. seom is the bar that's sponsoring the photo exhibit. i met vincent. he's one of the owners and also going to be in the exhibit. we had mojitos. it reminded me of the the time adawg had a small intimate gathering where she served mojitos and mac and cheese. too bad i didn't have any mac and cheese that night.

from seom we rendezvoused with ruth, arleen, and betsy at club ff for dancing. thats where we stayed until 4:30 am or so. there was talk about getting food. chen and i bailed out and headed back to her place. i crashed hard. in the morning or should i say afternoon we hung on the roof a bit then decided to go get food. lunch/dinner was had at jenny's cafe. that seems to be the new favorite place to go. we did some walking around hongdae but i was in no mood to shop. felt very tired and hot. i headed back to ansan around 5 pm. spent the rest of the evening watching tv.

a random events from the weekend:
[betsy, young-min, and i were sitting outside at club ff when some random guy came up to us and just stood there]
stranger: this makes for an awkward moment
me: what does?
stranger: this. [he looks around smiling]
me: well, sometimes life offers us strange moments
[i then turn to direct my attention back to betsy and young-min who both said nothing. the stranger stood there a little longer until his friend came in]

be well…

p.s. i "borrowed" the photo from chen's myspace. thanks chen.
