transition

Time to get this baby up and active. When I read my previous posts I get an interesting vantage point of myself.. my self from without, sometimes I'm even a little surprised by my word choices.

The adventures continue.

After surviving a messy, sloppy, dirty all-December-long alcohol binge that rendered me with a contusion on my right knee and a mild concussion, I've been getting back to the finer things in life. Walking, breathing, sunmudo; and wittling away shocking amounts of time watching videos on youtube.

I'm between apartments at the moment, crashing here and there, this bed and that floor, and after 6 months of -not- having the internet it's been a slightly-numbing blurr of excellence to be able to sit my ass down in front of my friend Tara's laptop and take in the sites of the internet. Honestly, I mostly just check the weather and watch Beck videos.

Next week have to find myself a HaSookJib, which is a korean boarding house, a korean boarding house which provides home-cooked k-food twice a day. I'm sold.

Soon I'll give a little post on the more substantial events of the last couple of weeks: discovering a mountain pass through the Bukhan mountains (and literally walking out of Seoul); hiking to Manwolsa temple in the Dobong mountains, and taking an off-trail 'shortcut' up an sharply steep and slippery slop..with four monks acting as our guides. Big, big smiles*
