Things

Things I did in Amurrica:

I shot guns.

I saw the Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobile.I ate everything I wanted to.

I drank everything I wanted to.

I went to the National Portrait Gallery. Who can tell me who this guy is? High five for the right answer.

I went to Annapolis, MD for the first time.

I sawr all my friends. I don't know who these people are, actually.

I went up the Washington Monument, the phallus of Washington itself.
Look at that there reflectin' pool, mama! Ain't it purtty?

I witnessed a forest fire (that only you could have prevented). Those ain't clouds!

I ate crab at the oldest fish wharf in Amurrica. The Anthony Bordain tour of DC, to be exact.

I saw the Korean War Memorial Looks just like Korea!

Things I Did Since Being Back In Korea:

I slept.
I ate.
I drank.
I took a few poops.
I got a new camera.

Hey, look at these neat panorama pictures it can do! This one is my classroom. The next one is my street.

Ooh! Vertical! That'll come in handy!

Also, it's waterproof (up to 3 meters [the actual reason I bought it]). Ok, you got me. I bought it because it has a fish eye lens option. Gimmicks! Gimmicks! Yeah, the picture quality is about right at average, but that's OK for what I want it for and the amount of money I spent. Actually I just now discovered a bunch of other options on it that are totally unnecessary, but hey, why not? You only live twice.

Stay tuned on World Class Flaneur for exciting tales of haberdashery, glasnost, and Pete Doherty!

Ok, now that I've effectively lost all my readers due to inactivity (which is understandable. I wouldn't want to read some unreliable hack either), I can start saying what I really think about stuff. Um...stuff is stupid. Remember that one time stuff asked your sister out and totally thought he had a chance? Psh, what an idiot.

Alright, so I didn't update even once in the month I was in the United States of America. Is there some deliberate, intricate plan as to why this took place? If you consider laziness and a stark change in both atmosphere and priorities a deliberate, intricate plan then yes. I am the Intricate Deliberator. I should have my own buddy cop movie co-starring Jim Belushi.

Speaking of Jim Belushi, I read an entire book yesterday while in transit across the Earth. It was David Cross's I Drink For A Reason. That guy doesn't like Jim Belushi. At least he's funny though.

So, highlights from my trip to America:

I destroyed America. So if you're wondering why there is this big, gaping sea where there used to be land...that was me. Sorry guys. I didn't know it would ruin your day.

Seriously though, I got to see just about everybody I intended to see, although I got to see none of them as much as I would have liked. I got to eat just about all the things I missed while in Korea, although I got to eat none of them as much as I would have liked. I got to sleep on all the sofas I wanted to sleep on, although I slept on them all much more than I would have liked. All in all, it felt like a vacation from vacation at times, and other times it just felt like life. I wasn't in some exotic locale. I was home.

In fact, I feel like I don't have much to say about my month long adventure in Virginia/DC/Maryland (Maryland being last for a reason...). I did do one new thing: I went up the Washington Monument.

Anyway, give my rusty mind/hands a break as we gear up to get back into what the blogging thing is all about. I will turn the crank that gets the gears to start turning. I might need to add some 10W-30 up in here though. Just wanted to let you know that I returned safely to Korea...as if you cared.
