Took the morning off of classes to get some much-needed sleep/rest and do a few things around the house that needed doing. I feel a tiny bit less anxious now. Just gonna snuggle and hang out with Wallach until work time.
I would like to announce that in this music game I am playing with my coworkers…I won the round where I submitted Falco but I have lost HUGE when I submitted folx like Nick Cave and Elvis Costello. Still playing cuz…

Still overwhelmed by the show I saw this summer in Korea. Just effing AMAZING.
Reserved my room for BIFAN in July. I need something good and nice in my life and something to look forward to, have hope for. Things have been rocky
Oh! I’ll have to check that out! Thanks for giving me weekend watching!
Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
I love both Violent Saturday AND On The Bus!!! Yayyyyy
Hi fellow disabled white people:
Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you can’t be criticized when you hurt someone.
I know now that people cannot help their tics. But that doesn’t change the fact that they can (and do) hurt people.
Davidson didn’t even give a good apology
Not enough is discussed or applause given for how Flavor Flav has shown up...not just physically but financially for women athletes and making sure they get the recognition and opportunities they deserve 👏🏽
It me.
Might be just the kind of therapist I need 🤪😂
No kidding!!!!
No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist
Oh dear.

#Watched A Day in the Life of Willie Faust, or Death on the Installment Plan (1972) - Fanaka’s UCLA film school experimental short is hard to find bc of the music - so much Sanders/Mayfield/Hayes/Beatles - but worth digging up, you can already see his fascination with blaxploitation and showmanship.
I would love to do a podcast with you on this topic.
I feel this hard. Because my poor mom never wants me to return to the US. She’s always like: stay in Korea. Please. Especially now.
HFS. Flashcards work! What a concept! One of the hardest part of early Korean for me is the two number systems. Don’t ask, it’ll do your head in. BUT I just remembered 1-10 in Korean! Big step for meeeeee!
I’m happy to report that some of my flashcards work is returning and my reading/reading comprehension has improved. But this is still very scary and hard, NGL.
Starting again at the beginning is tough in so many ways. I understand a lot when I hear it and read it but doing all of it at once is just WOW. Vowel and consonant stuff just throw me. These “tiny” things? 😭 make me have so much more respect for my baby students who speak such amazing English 🥰
So that's a nail in the coffin for feudalism. Let's do capitalism next.

Korean lessons start again tomorrow. Same level, same class. This time I will make it through successfully. I’m feeling a little nervous about it bc, well, last time it didn’t go so well and I have a history of having a hard time with Korean. But I’m giving it my best shot as usual.
A major variable is the new legislation being prepared by the ruling party to ban presidential pardons for crimes of insurrection. While it has high public support, it faces criticism over its constitutionality. If passed, it could effectively ensure Yoon never leaves prison alive.
