akujunkanSo, as some of you are aware, I have an mp3 player.
I use the mpEye, which is made in Korea. It is a sexy little devil, and perfect for popping out of my house to go do this, that, or whatever. It was a lovely, lovely little machine, until it stopped working about a month after I'd purchased it.
I took it back to the nice man at the store I'd bought it from, who sent it back to Korea in exchange for a new one. This being Japan, he also remembered to check the battery chamber, and thus my rechargeable battery was returned to me, recharged, in the new player.
So, as some of you are aware, I'm studying Korean. My class uses the 'Navigating Korean' textbook by Kyung Hee University. It comes with two CDs. You know that vaguely sexual reaction some guys have to sports cars? I have that reaction when I get my hands on a new textbook. So you can imagine that I ran right back home the day I got this thing to study my little tail off. Imagine my surprise to find that the CDs were blank.
I took them back to my Korean teacher, who sent them back - along with everyone else's devective CDs - to Korea in exchange for new ones.
As some of you are aware, when studying a foreign language, it helps to have an electronic dictionary. I use the Sharp RD-8200. It's a sweet little devil, with English, Korean, Japanese<->Korean, English<->Korean dictionaries, games, a personal organiser, and a hilarious voice function great for plugging in your favorite K-Pop lyrics. It was a lovely, lovely little machine, until it stopped working about a month after I'd purchased it.

And just to show that we're equal opportunity with the mock here...
DMIRETTI: you get your own park bench..not here comrade
BeanRigh: LOL
BeanRigh: Everything's going according to plan...
DMIRETTI: the plan of which congress?
BeanRigh: Erm. If you don't know, comrade, you're on the wrong side.
DMIRETTI: Excuse me Comrade, but we have infiltrated with relative ease
BeanRigh: Your operatives are dead in the water.
DMIRETTI: actually they were taken alive...just this weekend
DMIRETTI: it's amazing how many of them are always trying to go won way or the other
BeanRigh: Yeah. wow. Make up your minds, guys.
DMIRETTI: like the guys that cut the fence to go INTO NK???
BeanRigh: After all, lord knows I'd never try to leave the land of my birth, the Great US of A---
DMIRETTI: I mean,
BeanRigh: Yeah, I saw that one on the news tonight.
DMIRETTI: that's true...
BeanRigh: I was all 'woah.'
DMIRETTI: there are so many things going on. I keep hearing warplanes go overhead. Hope you are here for the invasion:-)
DMIRETTI: We will make popcorn and drink soju
BeanRigh: Nice. I've heard it's an especially lovely time of year for an guided tour of the north.
DMIRETTI: It will be wonderful.
BeanRigh: I've got English & Japanese skills. I'm a double shoe in!!
DMIRETTI: And when they arrive, we will toast them and say "Anyonghashimnikka" and only use the highest form of Korean to show them our respect.
BeanRigh: I wouldn'thave it any other way.
BeanRigh: Axis of (Extremely Genteel) Evil, here I come!!
DMIRETTI: Our dear leader and his brilliant speeches that have a way of sticking in all the wrong places...sort of like a wedgy you can't really pick
BeanRigh: Plus, the biggest porno collection in the world!
BeanRigh: Truly, can it get any better?
In other news, I made hash browns last night.
Oops. I love hash browns, but they aren't the best meal choice for someone who has consumed very little oil or fat in the last four years. You know that satisfied feeling that lasts about half an hour after you've eaten a really filling meal? Well, I had that, only it was more like shocked silence. That lasted a full forty minutes before then my colon got its act together in order to send a very strongly-worded 'What the fuck is this?' to the rest of my nervous system, at which point I lay down.
I think were's sticking with ramen tonight.
That will be all.
