All Bundle'd Up, Snowing in Seoul

Congratulations Kathryn Ann Bigelow!

Congratulations on the Oscar! I can't wait for The Hurt Locker to open in Seoul. She should've won since Point Break (1991) and Strange Days (1995)! Such an achievement! And she's a Columbia Film Studies graduate. It makes me feel like we have something in common, and this doesn't happen that often for me. Now it's your turn, Lisa Cholodenko!

A Family of Vegabonds

My mother leaves for India in a few days, my brother leaves for Russia for good, who knows when they're coming back. I have a vagrant family. The four of us (including my father) just had homemade pajeon together. This is no ordinary incident for us - all four of us sitting at one table. Sometimes I wish things weren't different and that we could all pretend that there's nothing wrong with us. Sometimes I wish I could go around the world telling everyone I have a functional family. But really, there's nothing any of us can do about reality.

Thanks, but No Thanks.

Just like that song I love, I don't want to wait. Just like that other song I love, quit playin' games. And these are the things I am addressing myself, not anyone else. Leave me quiet, I want to write the freakin' thesis and get the hell out of here on time. I want to do some pavin' and I haven't got time for undesired drama. The outcome is important. The process is less important. At least for now. And I am quite the vulnerable type, despite my fierceness. I am not as strong as I want myself to be, and the things happening around me are gurgling my throat with pain. It's like I've swallowed something unedible and big. I get tongue-tied when it all boils down to you. Can we pretend we don't know each other for a while? I'd love it if I could have the freedom not to text you back while I pay for my bagel and cream cheese. We make our own choices and pay our own prices.
