…and winding it down.
The procrastinator’s nightmare is upon me. One more day at work before I head out of the country for a couple of weeks. Which means all those work projects I’ve been tasked with are coming due. Made some pretty good progress today I suppose and I’ll put the pedal to the metal and hopefully depart with a clean desktop tomorrow afternoon.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I’d been pegged as a bigot for having the audacity to believe that maybe these ISIS fucks have some kind of religious motivation for their wanton acts of violence. I defended myself with this article from The Atlantic that I believe makes a strong case for me being right. It’s long, but well worth the read. Especially if you want to get a glimpse into the minds of those who hold that we in the West must all submit or die.
Live free or die is my attitude.
Moving on to topics not so depressing, on Sunday we had the finals for the little singles league I host.
Handed out trophies to the top 3 finishers in each of our 3 divisions…
…and medals to those who earned them…
But the one I enjoyed handing out the most (and the one I expect was the most appreciated) was to our sportsman of the year, Do Hee. This gal came out week after week and got her cute butt kicked consistently. Never lost her smile or her enthusiasm either. It was her first time playing in a competitive dart league and if she keeps after it and maintains that positive attitude, she’s gonna be a good one.
Today I stole a few minutes to spend some money. Actually, it was at lunch and after work that I did my shopping, but stealing time makes me sound like a real badass, right?
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
…so I bought myself a present. A new laptop, a wireless mouse, and a contribution to the Bill Gates empire. As you can see, I haven’t been bothered to take it out of the box yet…
My buddy Dennis is safely back home in Cambodia, but before he left I honored him for Veteran’s Day with a trip out to Namiseom.. Regular readers might recall that I was there a couple of months ago with the wife. She was ill and couldn’t make this trip though.
Dennis brought along his old friend Julie…
It wasn’t all that cold, but the fire was the pits anyway…
Sadly, it seemed the trees were dying of something…
While Dennis waits for the grill to heat up, Julie takes care of business. We had the famous Nami spiced chicken of course…
And finally, as important as Veteran’s day is we must also take note of the Korean “holiday” that takes place on 11/11 as well…Pepero Day!
Interestingly, I’m unable to upload the photos from that trip. Guess it’s time to open that laptop box…
