had a loooong weekend up in LA. fun packed. tiring. and very satisfying. didn’t plan on going up there until saturday but hong needed to drop off some of his work at a company at irvine and seeing as it was a friday, he needed a sucker to sit in the carpool lane with him. so, he called me and off we went with a trunk full of scattered clothing. i think i bring too much crap up for a few days because i know we have a car and so i bring everything i think i might possibly need. clothes, two pairs of shoes, jacket, cds, big pink blanket, books, camera, hair spray, the whole works. i end up using only half the stuff and just dragging everything around.



on friday, it was sausage fest with me, hong, victor and mikey at a korean bar, pointe. it was a decently nice place but kind of weird because it felt like we were in a big cafeteria, staring down all the other people sitting in and around us. drank korean beer (hite, which tastes just like bud…real crappy) and soju. i haven’t had soju since this summer and the aftertaste reminded me too much of puking in kyle’s car so i had to stop. no more soju. forever. the night wasn’t a total dud because mikey got off work and came by to regale us with a couple of his stories. ate korean food before and after the bar so in memorium this nite will forever be dubbed as our immersion into korean culture.
