never having to get up to an alarm.
Yeah, you've heard it before. But I'll be damned if emergency should be a human being's first experience in each conscious segment of this existence. Hagwon hours rock, even if the 38-ish-hour week is too grueling for some non-Americans.
Scott, I know I've mentioned the video for this recent Dylan song, but I believe you haven't seen it yet. Niiice.
Lates.

No, I don't think you have mentioned it ... or if you did, I was typically busy thinking about something else.
But all I can say is ... Dylan who? I don't think I even heard word he uttered, because brother, the camera just loves her ... I mean really, really, really loves her. It makes me love her too.
Why no alarm? What are your hours?
Today I got an offer from NHN. It will be hard to justify choosing it over google, but it is a nice offer and exciting possibility, and it sounds like you are having fun!
Okay -- so you like hagwon hours. Is it Monday-Friday? Are you working at a branch of the Seoul Language Institute in Gwangju? (It is interesting that the maps spell it Kwangju.) I apologize for my poor "hangulization", but I don't know any better. :) [I must really suck at Scrabble -- so far I have found none of the four 9's in Sangmuro, but I admit I have only spent about 5 mins. on it -- I will keep looking. I was proud of finding achiotes thru and h at the club this week. :)] I am quite impressed with the fact that you seem to be doing so well with the language/people/culture. I expected it would take you a few weeks. I am happy you are having such a good time doing this -- maybe visiting Korea wouldn't be as formidable as I'd like to think it is. :)
Blah Blog Blah
Yo Fwend,
Arthur
Monday-Friday, 2-9:30ish.
Jason: yeah, Google is a famously awesome employer, but I'd sure be cool to have you in the vicinity.
Arthur: Poor hangulization comment referred not to your Korean writing, but rather to your name. Unlike "Jason", "Arthur" is hard to render well, with its [th] and two syllable-final [r]s. (Or, more accurately, two rhotic vowels.)
Kwangju/Gwangju is a thing between two romanization systems, owing to the fact that Korean doesn't really have the voiced [g] in initial position, but rather a more and less aspirated [k]. So, one system uses k/k' and the other uses g/k for the same distinction.
And Me???
Dude,
I just saw that South Korean scientists are cloning glow-in-the-dark cats. I want one for Xmas!
Thanks for the communication yesterday. Send me your new address and phone when you have a chance.
Happy holidays J! Louie
Does Korea celebrate Christmas in any way? [No ... I do not have time to read about it. I have to figure out the anagrams of sangmuro.] Maybe living in Korea would allow me to escape the madness the holiday drives me to (English is obviously my second language.) Maybe if I quit Scrabble I will have time to follow more interesting pursuits and have something great to contribute to this web site. Maybe I will say something memorable. Maybe maybe is the story of my life. Damn you Jay for pursuing something so worthwhile! Why couldn't you just stick to Scrabble? I hope your happy with yourself!!!
[Conscious signing off]
P.S. Consciously I think I knew that the word conscience was the proper word to use.
Here is a bit of minor trivia that will make me look about as silly as my latest drivel. On a recent episode of, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", the question was posed, "In a classic 1965 song, Bob Dylan repeatedly makes what request of Mr. Tambourine Man?". If you do not know this then my drivel probably sounds profound to you.
