"Next I'm going to make one for loneliness!"

If you haven't seen that commercial, you're missing out. Sorry.

Well I just beat my first bout of homesickness/loneliness. And all it took was 3 hours and 2,700w (~2.85) at a PC bang (pronounced 'bong,' it means 'room.' The karaoke rooms are called "nori-bangs") !

It was really my fault - after returning from Busan this evening, I showered and put on a dvd I'd borrowed from Mark. He said it was very good, but warned me that I should have tissues nearby. Stupid Alexis, watched it alone, at night. It's a Korean film with English subtitles, "A Moment to Remember." And since I'm such a sensitive sap, I was crying like a baby for the last 20 minutes of it, and when it ended I just wanted to call home, but couldn't since my director hasn't given me the phonecard information yet (that, and it was 4am Sunday morning in CA, 7am in NJ). So, I took off for the PC bang to read the weekend's emails and look at myspace. Ah, myspace. What a lifesaver for those of us with itchy feet!

But I'm very happy to report that I'm much better now and will go home to get some good rest before my first day of teaching tomorrow. I'll also be posting a blog about our weekend adventures tomorrow, so look for that.

G'night!
