thanks mr. pizza, made for women!

i walked into the miracle library today, greeted by a sea of boxes, books and bubble wrap. but these weren't korean books, oh no, they're all yong-o and beautiful and here for me! okay, not here for me, but for the wee little munchkins who endure my monotone every wednesday during storytelling.

and who, you might ask, donated 15 boxes of shiny, new, english children's books to the miracle library? noneother than mr. pizza herself, some actress whose name i don't know. she's 20 years old and she's not the one with the unfortunate mole right on the end of her nose, but the one with the really large eyes. she's been in lots of commercials (actually, in the mr. pizza ones she sort of looks like a boy. a cute boy though). she's in some movie now where she's blind or something. korean movie previews are left to my own interpretation, as i don't know how to speak the language. but gesticulating like a blind person whilst staring off into space vacantly--you know, just like blind people do--leads me to believe that's what's going on here. maybe it's easier to appear blind when you've got large eyes. or that's just good acting.

apparently her mom's a librarian so she felt it was her duty to give back to the community that so generously gave to her and her family (again, my interpretation. poetic, ain't it?).

so i think i owe mr. pizza an apology. i've been cheating on him/her with lee's pizza here in town (i'm on the vip list). i can't promise that i will end things with lee's, but i can promise to maintain an open relationship that involves both of them, if they'll have me.
