Induced Winter
I'm sitting in the cafe watching a man walk around with a stick, smacking the trees to get all the leaves off them so another man can rake them up. This seems so incredibly, deeply wrong.
It's getting colder in Seoul. We were promised our first snow last week but it hasn't appeared yet. It turns out the office isn't heated on Sundays because only the newspaper people are there, not the Samsung people, who own the building. I'm starting to realize that our building is just called JoongAng Ilbo, but that doesn't mean we're even close to the most important people in it.
M-flo comes to Seoul Dec. 17. Which is the day I leave for London. Arg.
I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again last night. It's out in theaters here. It's less devastating the second time around. It still leaves a lasting impression, though, like a bruise. Incredible movie.

Zen retreat
I will tell people about this, I promise. It's just that what I would post here is currently under consideration for publication in the paper. So obviously I can't post it. If it's not published (or when it is) I will though.
