Open air cafe by Ewha. Great Saturday reading spot.
Came across something I wrote in the margins of a museum studies book:
“The cells in my body are completely replaced over periods of years. I have no history. I have been multiple beings, and so history is nothing to kill for.”
Hm.

Disappointing to meet fellow anti fascists who are dicks. To me it’s reactionary to be a dick, that’s the norm; be nice, it’s revolutionary. Right ? Anyways I met two nice antifascist folks today too, so, win some lose some.
What fearful shapes and shadows beset his path amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night!

Desmond Dekker/Mos Def mashup. Thinking warm thoughts and listening to roots reggae. Miss the beach in Cali!

People are helping me a lot in Korea.
Jeff and Trash gave me a temporary home, some yo mats, a desk, 쌀, basically life in Korea.
Some well known person named Ami gave me a desk chair, which was facilitated through Jae.
Bora gave me a tumbler mug, and hours of Korean conversation, for which I’m super grateful.
MiJeong gave me memories of Madison in the Summer which are like gold where I come from.
MiJin’s parents gave me meals and confidence to speak Korean when it REALLY REALLY counts.
OhBaeng makes me smile telling me I can’t use 존댓말 with him.
HeeRan gave me an Olleh wifi egg so I can use 4g->wifi anywhere, which allows me to contact and meet all of the people helping me. Her friend HeeYoung also spoke korean with me so everything’s going great.
Random people on the street and hiking trails have been patient with my Korean as I ask them where things are and what way to go.
Everyone’s helping a lot.
Punknews.org: "Nazis are not f*cking welcome at a Dropkick Murphys' show"
Many of you wrote in with the news of a little incident between the Dropkick Murphys and a New York audience member with some particularly odious views. The band invited the crowd on stage while they performed the cover of AC/DC’s “T.N.T.” and the offending patron decided to…
Itaewon’s still a confusing hub of crazy.
Back.
Walking in Seoul, listening to some of the same albums as when I left. 3 years and it’s like I never left. Way Cooler now that I understand so much more Korean. Can’t find something: just ask an old person on the street or a clerk at a store. So much easier. No shock yet, pretty much like being in Ktown but it doesn’t end in a mile.
