so tis the season.. i've been really busy, so busy that i don't really feel christmassy.. it's ok though because i learnt last year if you try to make christmas in korea like christmas at home you're left feeling sad and disappointed..

i've been going to seoul more often.. well, the last 2 weekends.. it makes me want to move there.. basically because there are people there who appreciate my kind of music.. yes that's almost worth changing cities for in my mind..

it's christmas eve right now.. well i guess technically christmas.. i'm winding down from my second christmas party.. saturday was the work one and i got lucky.. we played bad santa and for the first time ever i was lucky when picking something out of a hat.. for my gift i ended up choosing something that mel wanted.. i'm selfless.. whatever, that's how i roll.. today i went to some other friends place for more turkey.. i'm so full right now, but like every holiday, i just want to keep eating.. tomorrow i'm heading to gregs place for turkey number 3 (seriously this is more turkey than i get at home).. anyways so far it's been a good weekend of good people and great conversation.. and even better wine.. all i want to do tomorrow is eat, drink, watch old christmas movies and pass out on the couch.. i miss everyone from home though.. and am especially sad to be missing dawns upcoming wedding..

i have pics from the christmas parties and will upload them later.. up top are some pics from some little trips i took around korea with adam.. we went around daegu for a bit, up to seoul, to gyeongju and to busan.. good times had by all.. i got to do almost everything i wanted.. saw some punk, saw some temples, ate great food, hung with great people.. no hiking though.. couldn't get going early enough in the day and then the weather got a little chilly, especially in seoul..

so merry christmas to everyone.. i miss you all.. especially at this time of year.. maybe i'll be back for the next one..

love you
