Update
Bubbly Bear, aka. bubs, aka. brently, aka. the gift, aka. the right stuff, aka. the ice-cream pusher, aka. roomate of the year has demanded an update.
It feels like forever that I've posted anything on this blog. I know I'm in jeapordy of losing the few people that still check up. As always, I apologize. What do we have today.....
I can count the amount of sun I've seen this past week in hours. The rainy season is supposed to wait until late June or July but things aren't going according to plans this year. My boy Kurt Vonnegutt would say that's our fault for idiotically destroying the Earth, and having fun doing it. I just know it's hard to show someone how beautiful the mountains and beaches of Busan are when it rains everyday.
That brings me to Lucy. Lucy is a half/fillipino, half/australian that I met in Vietnam and she's in Korea touring the country with me. She's proving to have the perfect amount of sanity. Enough so that she can have intelligent conversations, while drinking the night away, but not too much that she's too timid to up and come here despite not really knowing much about me. She's smaller than a mosquitoes turd and she goes in my pocket when she's being bad. (wait for pictures). We've just finished a few days watching baseball and having a reunion with my Daejeon boys and now wer'e off to Seoul to finish the tour.
I guess things are going well except that I'm starting to get sick regularly, like real people. Ever since I came to Korea, I've been unbeleivably healthy despite living in unhealthy lifestyle. Last Sunday, Lucy and I had taken a ferryp and we're exploring a nearbye island when I started to feel weak and feverish. An aweful sore throat came on and the next morning the doctor told me, in broken English, that I have tonsilitis. - Not a good illness for a conversation teacher. I joked that maybe this was some kind of karmic punishment for having too much fun making too much money in this country. I took the meds, and got better in a couple days. Now, I'm back on the road and the tonsilitis has returned. That's probably why I'm writing this right now; I can't talk!
I'm gonna go back to the doc, take more meds, and probably get better soon. Then it's my time to enjoy the end of the semester, a lighter work-load and hopefully better weather. Then, in a matter of weeks, I'll be back home eating too much and searching for a car and phone as always.
Bubzy, good enough? You got a job for me at the icecream shop?
love,
