broken chairs

thanks to misty, every time i put on my deordorant i now think of sweat. that was the comment she made about it when i was in sf. i guess the gig is up. i will now have to replace it with something a little more aroma friendly. sigh…

this weekend i found myself venturing back into seoul. the first time since coming back from vacation. my first stop for the evening was a rooftop gathering at chen's to celebrate her birthday. saw a lot of peeps i haven't seen in awhile. it was very chill. the weather was awesome. it was nice to be outside sipping cocktails, smoking cigs, and nibbling on little weiners. i mingled about the roof for a few hours and then made my way to the twon where i was meeting jen and astrid for saturday part deux. astrid is leaving on thursday so this would be my last chance to say goodbye. its sad to see people, especially peeps you really like. we started off at queens where the drinks were two for one. definitely can't beat that. at the table next to us this k-guy sat staring at us the entire time. perhaps he was interested and wanted to say hi. although he never did. that's the strange thing about this place. the k-guys never seem to initiate conversation. from queens we headed to soho who's drink specials were still happening til midnight. score! everytime i step into that bar the decor is different. there's a new owner. it actually looks a lot better than before. feels less stuffy and more inviting. the cocktails continued to flow there throughout the night. we met "princess" who seemed to be floating about the bar sipping everyones drinks, dancing, fixing his hair, and kissing people. he did this the whole time. a couple of times he asked me if i "liked to dance". i replied simply by saying sometimes. a kabob and more drinks later we decided to dance some of the alcohol away. so off to del disco. the last time i was there it was extremely packed. however that was not the case saturday night. at point i found myself mezmorized as i stood on the dance floor staring into what can best be described as a lazer-light tunnel. it was tron-esque and a little trippy. the evening came to a close around three. when astrid reached the point of being unable to see. we had hit our peak for the evening. before heading back we stopped for egg sandwiches. what a way to end the evening.

sunday was another nice day in seoul. i lunched with the girls then made my way to insadong to meet up with bc who invited me for a swim. the rooftop swim and jacuzzi was just what i needed to feel refreshed. we sat poolside where bc read an interview with paris hilton from britans gq. poor paris. thats all i'm gonna say on that. before leaving insadong to head to hyehwa i stopped in at the gallery to pick up my art from the exhibit. bc took me to the filipino market at hyehwa. now i know where to go if i want some deordorant. they seem to have it all there from phone cards to beanie weanies. oh my!! we spent the rest of the afternoon shopping around hyehwa. however, bc is not a big fan of my "purposeless" shopping. i love checking out all those stationary type stores. buying things that i really don't need. i gave her a hard time about it but she was a good sport. i actually only bought things i needed. what was that about. must go back for the zombie keychain i saw. one is just not enough.

be well...
