the amazing 4th

So in my slacktudiness and along with the plethora of other activities I have been finding myself participating in the daeguru has been a little light on material... don't worry as soon as my lazy butt gets them downloaded, the pics will tell a million tales that I have already stored in memory or chosen to forget... but anyway, after a grueling day at work (gotta love those 9 class days... which reminds me I really need to put up a post about how work works), Amanda, Peter and I rolled downtown to hit up trivia night at Commune's. Unfortunately we were a little bit late and couldn't make a team so we ended up just watching the tomfoolery and laughing off in our own little corner... well, we did some mocking too! Anyway, en route from work to the cab stand, we picked up some fireworks from the local stationary store. Talk about something paradoxical: stationary stores are your best source for fireworks over here, I don't really understand the need for flammables/explosives to be sold in a paper store but meh, that's their problem. After an intense round of trivia (Amanda and I squeezed our way onto Justin's team about halfway through), all the Americans stood up and sang the Star Spangled Banner, God Bless America and This Land Is Your Land to the boos of a couple Canucks and this obnoxious drunk brit (such a twit I refuse to capitalize Brit for him, the one person I don't like over here and who may actually get his own post as a result of his beligerant drunken behavior) and my team went outside to the street and we all lit up sparklers! Happy B-day America! After we burned up our two foot long sparklers we rolled around the block to hit up Old Skool for some good ole dance the night away boogie down times! We sang the Star Spangled again in Old Skool and stuck around dancing til about 4 a.m. when we went over to Club Frog and danced until the sun came up and the Metro opened up again. Quick stop at Burger King on the way to the subway and Justin and I hopped on the train and slept our way across town. We got home around 6.30 a.m. and crashed out after making plans to watch Superbad on Saturday afternoon. Justin called around noon just to confirm and I finally answered his calls around 1 (3 missed calls later) to confirm that I'd roll over around 3.30 p.m. So I show up at Daegok subway station and he comes down to meet me and on the way to his place we stop and pick up a couple bottles of soju and four bottles of Korean plum wine, some really tasty stuff! Watched Superbad which was actually a pretty funny movie although I'm sure the 4 bottles of wine and the bottle of soju helped. Around 7, I ran home to change and was going to try and meet Justin to see a movie... He beat me there and went to one on his own, I figured I may as well hit up a movie to see what its like and watched "Wanted" with Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie with Korean subtitles. It was pretty cool! The movie theatre was enormous and the seats were so extremely comfortable! Ahhh leg room! Met up with Justin at Thunderbirds for Nick's going away party and then danced at Old Skool a bit before calling it an early night at 4 a.m. I needed my beauty sleep... Sunday was a big day with the Amazing Race Daegu II. To be cont...
