only in Korea

So I was doing so well not being sick for at least the past two months...until this week hit and I got yet another cold. Suffice it to say I am not happy, especially since I had planned on doing lots of different things this weekend. Unfortunately it looks like I may have to cancel or at least postpone those for the time being. Ah well...c'est la vie.

Last weekend (before I came down with whatever it is that I have now) was fun though; I had all of the usual people over for the impromptu anti-Valentine's Day party, though the only thing we did that was even remotely "anti" was to take a teddy bear holding a heart with the word love on it, pack it with enough firecrackers to blow it sky-high and then proceed to light it on fire in a way that one might consider very riot-esque. The guys who brought the infamous bear did not light it anywhere near my school building, but instead took it down to some inconspicuous spot near the river where no other unfortunate souls might catch sight of our poor hapless victim. Needless to say I didn't go with them. When they brought it back there were only the charred remains of something that might have once been fluffy and white... Aside from that pyromaniacal fun, we watched a zombie move (perfectly appropriate for our "anti" theme) and ate lots of chocolate. A good time was had by all.

Sunday I met up with some of the anime group for early afternoon Oylmpic hockey watching at the Rocky Mountain Tavern down in Itaewon. After that we headed over to Abbey's Book Nook nearby and had coffee & treats while we perused their selection. The owner was playing the part of match-maker that afternoon and purposefully seated a table of three guys next to us. I suppose she got a little perturbed when we continued to carry on our own conversation without them, because soon after she was forcibly pushing our two tables together and then proceeded to sit down and mediate the conversation between the six of us. After we left the bookstore we actually ended up joining them at a nearby bar where we spent the rest of the night playing darts and pool. They invited us all to this going-away party tonight...though I'm not sure I'll be going since I still don't feel all that well.

Tomorrow's anime meeting has been cancelled since a lot of the group won't be able to make it, and I think I may just spend the day laying low and recovering from this nasty cold. Sunday I'm hosting this Phantom phan get-together at my place with Danya and this other guy she met at the bookstore. We're going to be watching Phantom movies and listening to Phantom music...all that sorta fun geeky stuff. Yes, I know I'm a nerd...I think I mentioned that before, right?

Hope everyone's week is going well...
