C-I-L-L my landlord

So the building manager/landlord went into my room twice yesterday. I guess I should feel thankful.

1) The manager/landlord and one of my managers at work went into my room to receive the delivery of my washing machine. It was very nice of them to stay there while it was installed!

Very nice, indeed! I just wish I had known....especially after being told that no one could get into my room...

2) Then, later, the manager/landlord went into my room to leave a package sent from Mongolia. To the best of my recollection I don't know a single person from Mongolia and haven't been in my new room long enough to have told anyone my address. Of course, the package wasn't for me, probably for the previous resident.

I'm expecting my manager/landlord to go back into my room today to retreive the package...

Dark and lonely on the summer night.
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking - Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,Break his neck!
Then his houseI start to wreck!
Got no reason --What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L ...My land - lord ...Def!

{Thanks to a colleague of mine who found this on the Internet for me.}

Bad news!

When I saw the papers this morning I thought I would be able to c-i-l-l my landlord. According to the Korea Herald: [S Korean president] Lee prepares to pardon 1.5 million.

That would have been good news because I could c-i-l-l my landlord, then get pardoned for it. Unfortunately, he is only pardoning people convicted of economic crimes.

Sweet food

I love sweets. Sweet food. Sweet women. Sweet drinks.

Based on the recommendation of a friend I tried 고구마 돈가스 (go gu ma ton ga suh). It is sweet potato pork cutlet. Love it. Only problem is that the place I went in Myeongdong served it with cheese sewed in.

2016-01-31 Speech coaching

  On February 2, 2016, Teach North Korean Refugees (now Freedom Speakers International) will be introducing itself to the American Women's Club. Co-directors Casey Lartigue and Eunkoo Lee will be telling AWC about the wonderful project we co-founded in March 2013. Then three refugees participating in our project will give speeches. One of our speakers is Ken Eom. He's a wonderful guy, he's been in our program since last March. Thanks to his tutors and coaches, as well as his own effort, he has improved so much. His natural sense of humor has always been there, and now with practice and assistance, he has improved so much. The two other speakers will be giving their first public speeches. One of them was a bit nervous, so she asked if she could meet Eunkoo and me today.. Even though I have known her since early 2015, I had never heard her story so it was good for me to get a preview.  I'm sure she will do quite well. 2021 update: The lady hiding her face is Eunhee Park. ...
