Weekend news

Well, here I am at work. Again. Good thing I love my job! Had a hard time getting up this morning... must be getting old, lol.

Had a nice, relaxing weekend. On Saturday, I met my friend Tim for dinner at "Hungry Eyes," the Cheongju Indian restaurant. I was glad to see it open, as I had heard it was closed momentarily. One of the workers had a problem with immigration, I heard. At any rate, the quality of the food did not suffer. Service, on the other hand... one man waiting tables and one man cooking... a hour and a half to get our food. And it was packed! Every table was filled! I felt sorry for the one waiter running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Afterwards we (with Alan) saw the movie "Public Enemy" which was "ehh." A little slow, I thought, and not engaging enough to keep my interest.

On Sunday, Helen went to Eumseong with Leona, leaving me to hang around on my own. I took a long walk through the neighborhood, and took a short mountain hike with a flashlight in the dark (the path is very clear, there are no sharp drops, and I'm very familiar with the path). Helen was not happy to hear about: "Don't do that! Maybe you'll meet a bandit!" Haha, not likely. For one thing, there are graves up there, and Koreans are generally nervous about ghosts (even the ones who say they don't believe in them). Also, a bandit's job is to steal money from travelers. A small path through the forest at night would not be a good place to wait for prospective marks. This isn't the 18th century, after all.

Also played my "Elder Scrolls III: Morrowwind" game, which I enjoyed, and did a quite a bit of meditation. I'm working with a mantra I created: "Water stills, silt settles" to begin the meditation sessions.

But... Monday.... Work.... 2 classes down and three to go....
