Just dropped by to prove that I remain among the living. Nothing much to say however. Just more of the same, work, darts, rinse, repeat.

Busan was good, although I didn’t do much of the film festival activities. Nolan and Grant did some backstage stuff and had a good time. Me, I walked around alot and spent time in the casino. Big (read expensive) mistake. Ah well. I did run into the blogger from The Homely Planet. He was playing with his band in a bar I spent some time in. Our politics are as far apart as east is from west, but he’s a pretty interesting guy regardless. It was kinda cool meeting a fellow expat blogger in 3-D.

Since I’ve nothing to say, here’s some random pictures. Mostly from the dart tourney a couple of weeks ago, but a couple of Busan shots as well. Hang tough, people. Life is good.

Rick. Pretty cool guy in our league. English teacher.

Joon. A sweet girl who is dating another teacher in our league, Bill.

Yun Jin (aka YJ) owner of Dolce Vita, Jim’s yobo, and a good friend.

Me, Petro, Duke, and Tom.

Bill and Tom playing a match

Joon sizing up the situation

“I woulda won it all if that double bull hadn’t bounced out”

Lonnie, yet another English teacher.

Nolan, Doug, and Steph.

YooLee, Tom’s girlfriend recently arrived from Indonesia

Me and my meager winnings from a 4th place finish

Tom beat me to take 3rd.

Duke got 2nd place.

Petro took first but he ain’t showing the money. It was W140,000

Grant won the mystery draw.

As is our custom, shots flow at the conclusion (hell, during too) of the tourney. Here YooLee and Duke demonstrate the “proper” way to drink the shot known as a blow job. I refuse to drink one that way, but it is fun to ask the cute barkeep for a blow job now and then.

I’m sure there was a reason I took this picture. I just don’t remember what it is.

The love motel where I stayed in Busan.

The bed in which I slept rather uncomfortably.

School girls on the beach in Busan.

More school girls.

Haeundae Beach.

Ok, that’s it.

I think I’d like to go back home
And take it easy
There’s a woman that I’d like to get to know
Living there
Everybody seems to wonder
What its like out here
Gotta get away from this day to day running around
Everybody knows this is nowhere

Everytime I think about back home
It’s cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there right now
Just passin’ time
Everybody seems to wonder
What its like out here
Gotta get away from this day to day running around
Everybody knows this is nowhere.
