Today I was really stoked all day. 유림 had to have dinner / have it out with her mother, so I came up with this ass kicking plan to go check out Star Wars Episode III after work (since 유림 was not to keen on Return of the Jedi that time we watched it dubbed into Korean). So I got off the train in 신촌 instead of 홍대 and of the three movie theaters in the area, none were showing it. The ticket girl at third theater I went to told me that the movie would be out on the 26th. Korea, what the crap dudes? It’s even out in mainland China, get your act together “Land of Morning Calm.” So disheartened, I picked up a couple VCDs (video CDs) and a brew and headed home.
So right now instead of watching Jedis getting their asses kicked I’m drinking some brew and waiting for tator tots…oh I’m sorry “potato gems” to cook. So as I wait, you get to read some of the nonsense I’ve been working on as of late. First off I need to get my exercise on (due to stuff like brews, and tater tots). I’m not really a gym kind of guy, so I need to look into other options. I’m looking into either doing 검도 (kumdo / better known in the west by the Japanese name kendo), or another Korean martial art (택견). So I need to find some schools in my neighborhood.
Additionally, this weekend I signed up to take the national 漢字 (Chinese characters) level test in September. There are eight levels to these tests (eight being the lowest, one being the highest). My teacher recommended I take either level six or level five, and gave me some practice test so I could see how they were. Man are they easy…or at least the level 6 test is. The level 5 test on the other hand is rediculously tough (mainly because it covers a lot of characters I’ve not learned yet). So if I want to take the level five test, I have a lot of work to do over the next four months.
Anyhow tater tots…excuse me “potato gems” are ready, and I have some Korean films that aren’t exactly watching themselves, so I must be going.
