just like anyone

deery-lou.
when did it become december already? its getting colder and colder here. i had to bust out the white beast this week. it made me sad. for now i know i'll be wearing it for the next 3 months. hopefully this winter won't last as long as the previous one. i am in the market for a new mid-length jacket preferably black and boots of some sort also black. while out with my k-friend on saturday he told me i needed to invest in a mirror. apparently my hair was too much for him. i guess he doesn't like the wind-blown look. what do you say to that? i simply laughed it off and gave him a sarcastic thanks. which i'm sure was lost on him. this has been the second time we hung out and once again more time was spent in his car driving from one place to another than actually doing something. and to make matters worse he was playing horrible christmas songs. there was a point when i wanted to jump out of the car. next time there's got to be a plan.

today bc and i checked another thing off the list. this time it was the national museum of korea. we were quite pleased with ourselves. especially since it had been some time since our last list outing. the national museum is huge. we managed to do the third floor which had the asian arts gallery and the fine arts gallery 2. we tried to guess each others favorites. bc was much better at the game than me. am i that predictable. while in the fine arts section we ran into two obnoxious children that kept bumping and getting in front of us. of course the mom was right there but never said anything. i came very close to drop kicking them. there were lots of cool stuff. my favs were probably the mini pagodas and the tiny dragons used to decorate them. yes, i like dragons. we attempted to do the second floor but realized we were museumed out. before leaving we hit the gift shop. a definite must do in any museum/gallery one goes to. i walked out with 4 postcards and 1 button.

from the nmk we headed to yongsan. on the way i found a toy store. unfortunately it turned out to be not so exciting. yongsan is the land of electronics and dvds. i'm usually completely overwhelmed when i step into the electronics mall but it wasn't so bad this time. we stayed ever so briefly before making our way [through the dodgy back way] to the dvd mecca. i initially planned on buying three dvds but somehow got talked into six. one of the movies i wanted they didn't have. my new best friend [the worker] had asked everyone nearby; however, it was a bust. nbfw gave me a number for a mister lim and told me to call him. now i got my own personal dvd connection. how fab is that. out of the six movies there's only one that i wasn't familiar with. if i end up not liking it i'll blame him. shopping is fun.

what i saw when i peered through the fence:

soccer time

something i learned today: in some countries sauce rhymes with horse. hm mm.

my new motto: what would the justice league do?

stay gold & be well…
