I am off to the surgery. Hopefully I will be able to breath better after they fix my deviated septum and remove a bunch of nasal polyps. Wee big fun a weekend stuck in a hospital room in Korealand.

I finally got to an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. I was informed the I do have a deviated septum and that the deviation is large enough to need surgery, especially when combined with the Nasal Polyps that block that the side that is more open due to the deviation. I will be having surgery and then spending two more days in a Korean hospital....

I learned to make Naan and Chicken Jalfrezi today from an Indian guy, he teaches in a public school here in Korealand. I now feel stuffed and a bit like a fat bastard, but I am happy with my new cooking skill. It is Naan that will be the most useful as it is very easy compared to sourdough or 90% of anything else I...

Judas Priest played Seoul I was there. It was amazing. There is nothing like the oddness of a Korean metal show. more on it later. with pics

Wee, my boss is stealing from me and I am not on the tax rolls... Looks like I get ot hire an attorney and go to the labor relations board here in SK fun....

I am having too much fun...
I think I get to go to a Korean Hospital in a few hours, because the concept of just a doctor's office is not something they seem to grasp.

Ok, I never thought I would write or say this but it is true so.
Dried Octopus, and these strange lemon flavored nuts are really good with what passes for beer here in Korea. Yeah, I actually like it, tenticles and all.

I'm in Masan, South Korea now. I have been here since June 2, 2008. It is weird and different in some very good ways. I got drunk enough Saturday night that I blacked out and have no memory of well anything after my third double bourbon..... Yeah, none, I am guessing that I didn't turn into too much of an asshole as I didn't wake...

A side note to give you a frame of reference, many people I know have called me on and off today all day long including a few that decided to wake me up asking me all the same crap, it is April 15th what do I have to do with Taxes today? And the questions...
