Damn cold...

I've been trying to get rid of it for two weeks - it's one persistent bugger - blah!

Anyway, in Korean class we had a constructed dialogue where we were planning a birthday party for one of the people in class, i.e. the one who has a birthday sometime in January. So, our illustrious instructor, 이 선생님, asked the following to each student:

이 선생님: 무슨 생일선물 줄 거예요? (What kind of birthday present are you going to give?)

At this point, people said things like 꽃 (flowers), 책 (book), and even some rather odd gift ideas like 연필 (pencil) and 필통 (pencil case). When my turn came up, I answered 소주 열 병 (ten bottles of Korean soju, a clear, distilled liquor, not unlike vodka)! That was fun. In reality, we're going to make kimbap (rice and seaweed rolls) later on in the quarter. Now that should be fun.

We've been having a lot of rain recently, enough to cause mudslides that have closed off the major southern arteries into and from the SB area, most importantly the 101. This is going to take awhile the clean up, doncha think? It's pretty bad.
