It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

If you're still teaching English in Korea in 50 years having your job potentially stolen by robots I'd think would be a blessing.
Robots teaching English in 50 years I could believe, but in 8 years which is what the article said.

I'll be in Jeju from Wednesday till Saturday next week. I don't know when I'll get back from Jeju yet, but probably in the evening.
When in the evening? Would you be up to hitting Seoul?

Damn.
I'm really really starting to get drawn towards doing Jet again. Trouble is I missed the application for this year.
Really unsure where life is going...dunno if I'll end up with a decent job or not in the next year.
My current plan though is to work short term contracts (more common in HCI I'm told), save some money, pay off my student loan and apply for Jet for next year. But it could work out that I do get a job and...hmm.
I just really want to experience Japan whilst I'm still young and awesome.
The trouble is it migt be a bit of a waste of a year...my year of getting experience could be for nought....really uncertain.
I'm going to be taking up my Japanese again when I leave Sweden though for sure. Just in case.

Tim, did you feel that earthquake yesterday?

Felt like my apartment building hopped.
At least, I think it was the earthquake. They're building a subway line nearby, and they might have just undermined my building's foundation. :unsure:

Yeah, actually I wondered what that was at the time. My first thought at the time was that the gas system was about to blow or something, but it was over so fast that I just ignored it.

EDIT: I predict my building will collapse if there is a serious quake.

I have no doubt my building would collapse. Hell, there's gaps between all the walls in my bathroom, it looks like the wall is slowly falling away from the building. At least I'm on the top floor, so I can hope that all those poor people below me will break my fall.

I'll send you a text tomorrow. If I can't get out of work early, then I might not be able to meet up - I still have to pack and get everything ready for Sat's flight.

You live in Fredricksburg right? With the huge backlog from the storm is your flight even going to get there?

I was pretty sick last night, some of the sea food I ate didn't agree with me, so I'm not too sure if I'm going out tonight. I'll let you know latter around 2pm.

Hopefully you don't have the same thing I got in Jeju. Puke city.  :x

Last I saw my flight is still on time. But between the snow and construction here and the snow there, it'll be a miracle if everything goes right. Hopefully my bus doesn't get stuck in traffic or something on the way to the airport.

Other way around for me.

You guys need to watch out for the sea cucumber and sea slug.

BTW, either of you tried the spicey squid?

Ya know if it was anybody else I wouldn't be confused by post, but with Yi is he slinging the slang or being straight up? :unsure:
