A thread for pointless Friday ramblings.

You can buy an industrial grade air purifier, which is what I did.
They really do a number on dust and odours -- I mean, I can barely smell the grow-op in the sun-room anymore. 

turn on heating
wake up warm and cozy
wife immediately opens every window in the apartment
freeze my **** off all morning
repeat all winter

Before we go all "dumb wife", there MIGHT be a good reason for this
1) Dust/Mold
2) You Stink/House Stinks/She Stinks/The Dog Stinks and fresh air is needed

1-0 Tino. He's done you there son.

yeah i got merked

p.s. she opens the windows so the cat can look outside because "he likes it". i said "well, i don't like it" and she said "yes, but the cat likes it"

tldr cat > me

The cool thing about our windows is they're glass, so even if they're not open, we can still look through them.

Well Mr. Fancy Pants, not all of us are wealthy sods like you.

Mine are like double windows, the ones on the outside side of the window are see through. Then there is a thing in the center, then the window on the inside side, let's light through, but you can't see through it.

Yeah, same, my window has two panes. One is clear, the other is frosted. I have to slide the frosted one open if I want to get a good view outside.

I've seen homes that only have the frosted panes, though.

And maybe the cat can't enjoy the great outdoors without the breeze touching its cute little face.

My brother recently sent me a care package FILLED with Cap'n Crunch cereal and snack cakes from Hostess, Little Debbie, and Tastykakes.

I ate an entire box of Little Debbie brownies and a half a bag of Hostess powdered donuts this morning.

I'll be up all night now. But I regret nothing.

Damn dude that's harsh. I think I'd rather have some kind of BO problem than be losing out to the cat.

Time to get a female dog so when you come home and say "Where's daddy's favorite girl?" You are greeted with true love and affection and not a list of things that are your fault.

Also, the dog can put that cat in its place. Petty, childish, and destructive? Sure, but at least you won't be losing battles alone.

You're no Frasier Crane.

Shot of Oglop waking up because the cat is sitting on his head and wagging his tail in his face.  '뭐야!'  An array of exclamation marks around his head* *popping bubble sounds*, he rubs his eyes and sees the cat scratching the duvet.  He is given a cartoon red head and steam comes out of his ears.  Oglop kicks the cat and it runs into the living room.  '나 피곤해!'  Oglop drags himself into the living room.  He smiles because he's warm.  A shot of Oglop's wife as she comes back from the store.  Oglop jumps up   '깜짝이야!' *repeated three times* *laughter soundtrack*  wife opens all the windows *cartoon arctic wind blows in* *Oglop is given icicles on his head*  'Close the window.  I'm freezing'' Oglop says.  Oglop's wife turns around 'the cat likes it.  he can look outside'.  The close up on cat turning around with little devil ears.  '귀여워야' *repeated three times* *laughter soundtrack*  'FML'

Got home late yesterday and just wanted something easy to watch and found this episode from 'Was it Something I Said' a one series show hosted by David Mitchell.  I watched some others and they were watchable, but this one has Richard Ayoade and Jimmy Carr on the same team is really good.  Micky Flanagan and Charlie Higson also pretty good on it too.

Finally, we're at D-1 for high school students.  What a massive stress to have 'D-257' onwards for the whole of the year for a crappy stressful test.  Like I mentioned before, only 15% of my level three students are relying on the test to get their university place, so the other 85% don't have that stress for tomorrow.  Actually, I thought that the uni test would die out as universities offer more places based on student grades and interviews.  Thing is my co-teacher told me that due to corruption and nepotism, these interviews are also considered unfair.     

All this talk about unruly and spoiled children got me thinking about how I've never had a stress dream about work here.

I've had stress dreams about every other place I've ever worked at. Or just normal dreams about me trying to figure out where Susan from the finances department was so that I could give her the cake that Cesar Millan brought to help her solve the national debt problem.

But so far none of my schools have managed to make it as a backdrop in any one of my dreams. Weird.

Well Autumn was nice while it lasted.  What did we get this year, about two weeks?

In Chungnam, it's lasted a while.  I had yesterday off because I got a discretionary holiday for the uni entrance test, so went for a walk and it was lovely.  Cold, clear, no pollution, leaves turning and sunny.  Lovely walking.

Yeah I got the day off as well, went out and it felt like the middle of January; bloody freezing in Busan and the same again today.  I was in shorts two weeks ago.

It was cold with heavy rain during the commute this morning, then, hail started falling really hard for a bit. Luckily I was in the car, but it was pretty hardcore for about a full minute.

64 days until my family and I leave Korea. Starting to feel real now and I'm realizing I've got tons and tons of shit I need to do in the next two months.
