Highlights of my Day... Thursday, September 24

1. Did my usual early morning routine – weight training followed by me putting my Pancake Master skills to work – but today’s usual post-weight training nap was canceled out on account that I had another Dankook staff meeting to attend.

2. “Boo” for early morning meetings but “Yahhhh!!!” for Kitty Cat’s cup of “survival coffee” that got me through that meeting.

3. One of my sparring partners, well former sparring partners, Bella Punch, was out in Seoul today with Junior Mint, attending her pro test for her boxing license. She didn’t pass, which I’m sure her husband is jumping for joy over, but I question why she even went for it in the first place. Her husband can’t stand her boxing and I’m supposedly not allow to box with her cause of the repeated injuries I keep on giving her in the ring. I tried to understand her reasoning but in a country where I’m boggled by girls who wear both a skirt and pants, I figure it’s just one of those things I’ll never understand.

4. But anyways… while there were out in Seoul, I was here in Cheonan teaching my two writing classes. I walked into the one class and there, around the lecturer computer, were a bunch of students eagerly eye-balling what ever was on the computer screen. I thought I’d take a gander and so I pressed the button for the overhead projector to turn on.

5. Joke was on me. Turns out what they were eye-balling was the Snickers’ and my interview that had bombarded the Internet the other day. I turned beat red… and they loved it!!!

6. Training at the boxing gym tonight was definitely a light train considering I had no yelling Junior Mint pushing me around and insisting I do extra rounds of this and that. Instead, it was just Milk Dud and I. Panty Boy Jr. and Motor Cross stopped by and congratulated me on my interview and on my plans to get married.

7. Snickers returned to Cheonan today and so we had one of our spontaneous dinner dates. Dinner consisted of indulging in sushi at The Sushi Den.

8. As if we weren’t being totally pampered enough by the Sushi Master, at one point he offered us each a small shot glass. Inside the glass was what he called “the tears of the fish” and numerous flakes of shaved gold. I downed it, like he told me too, but then about ten minutes later my head started to feel funny. Snickers noted experiencing the same thing, too. We asked the Sushi Master if there was alcohol in it but he assured us there wasn’t. Something was definitely in it though because both Snickers and I felt seriously buzzed. It was the strangest of feelings. Snickers sat beside me looking all dazed and confused, while all of a sudden everything seemed funny to me. The height of the Sushi Master’s hat, the colour of the fish… everything was funny.
9. Sushi was then followed by a movie. We checked out “Fame” but no sooner did we sit down in the theater but it was lights out for me. It seemed more like a spin-off of “Step Up” and I wasn’t particularly interested in the numerous mini story lines within the main one, so I continued to sleep the time away.

I woke up and realized everyone had left... was he going to leave me there?!

10. Before I officially crashed for the night, I had to take Mi Nam out for his late night evening stroll. “I don’t understand Mi Nam” Snickers blurted out and apparently that one comment was hilarious to me and so it resulted in a full-fledged gigglefest… hahaha. “He’s a dog, why does it bother you? Do you want to understand him? Maybe if you ask him, he’ll answer you and then you’ll understand” I joked.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
