my life in 24-bit color

during lunch today, i decided that korean tv is largely centered around the entertainment value of people making complete asses of themselves in front of a live audience. especially really obese women. the 300-pound woman wearing a bathing cap with a giant sunflower sticking out of it and an enormous t-shirt depicting the cartoon torso of a tiny-waisted, big-boobed beauty did make me smile, however.
also during lunch, my chopstick skillz failed me at the worst possible moment. the waitress is bringing me some delicious so-and-sos, she says something completely unintelligible, i give her my best bewildered foreigner look, and promptly drop a large piece of kimchi in my lap. and then what do you do? do you attempt to recover it with the chopsticks that so recently failed you? or do you just leave it there and hope it goes away? i opted to pick it up with my fingers and eat it as quickly as possible, hoping she hadn't noticed. she took pity on me and brought several wet handclothes to my table.
the smell and feel of fall are changing me like they always do. something inside me just settles into place, and i feel totally at peace. on days like this, i can think of nothing better than to sit by an open window with a good book.
