sportsball. plays.

things and also stuff have been going on and also happening.

one of said stufflike items was a baseball game over the weekend. i told myself it was going to be the best day of my life--watching the kia tigers play the some other team in gwangju. all i know is that they WEREN'T playing the unicorns. yes, there is a korean baseball team called the unicorns. a rather silly mascot. unless, it also happens to be a pegasus. a tiger versus a unicorn is no contest. throw some wings into the equation and it's a little more interesting.

anyhoo, hopped on the bus to gwangju on sunday to see sportsball. gotta be honest, i was a little hungover, as the night before had become an impromptu party at the mini stop. 3.5 hours later after arriving in gwangju, in my afternoon drunken stupor, i thought to myself "oh, hey, i was just at a baseball game, wasn't i?" it didn't really even occur to me while i was at the baseball game that i was at the baseball game. although i did purchase a rather large hat and sat in the sun sweating my balls off. that thought was with me the whole time. along with "i want to take a nap." in general though, baseball is a non event to me. unless someone hits a homerun or there are drunk angry people or a fight breaks out. there was a plus though, beer at the baseball stadium in korea is much cheaper than beer at a baseball game stateside. so that was reason enough. add it to the list of things done/seen in korea: baseball.

after baseball, went for a dose of western food in the form of tgi fridays. i don't think i've ever actually eaten at one of those places in america. regardless, i've been daydreaming about the macaroni bites (fried macaroni=fucking genius!). so i had some of those and they did not disappoint. i also ordered a cheeseburger. what i got was a large roundish lump of tepid, unseasoned beef attempting to pass for a burger. looks like a burger, smells like a burger, but does not taste like a burger, so a burger it ain't. geee-rossssss. at least it's hard to fuck up french fries.

tomorrow is play day. peter pan and cinderella/snow white and the 1 dwarf. the past 3 months of my life have been consumed by this thing. i didn't take my vacation in may because of this thing. for 3 months i've been absolutely exhausted for a variety of reasons: anxiety over inadequate helpers, students dropping out, students being rude and/or annoying, hands going numb from coloring and cutting various props. so tomorrow, these months come to a poorly funded, melodramatic (but cute) head. and all i can think is "i can't wait to get fucking hammered tomorrow night." i am a good sonsaengnim.

the end.
