Yes, I am a rotten, neglectful bastard. But you all knew that.

Hi. God. Sorry. No, the blog isn't retired, I'm just a bastard. A bastard with a load of excuses, for what that's worth. Okay, two excuses. Two lousy excuses. One, I have, as I mentioned, this girlfriend. I officially owe Jeremy an apology, because, even though I was kidding about his being lost in Girlville, I have since chucked my hypocritical ass into the very same gulch. Yeah well.

Two, that same ass is busy being kicked soundly by my new schedule this month. To wit, class at 7 am, and anyone who knows me knows what an absolutely lethal time that is for me. Add a total of three middle/elementary school classes, and the prospect of sitting down to write five hundred fascinating words about Korea twice a week makes my brain cringe.

I also still don't have pictures. Basically, I can't seem to get my camera's battery to charge because of the voltage difference or whatever. My solutions seem to be either to track down some sort of voltage-converting transformer box-thing, or get a new, Korean camera. My phone does take pictures, yes, and, yes, theoretically I can email them to myself and post them or something, but that takes, I dunno what, phone internet something which I don't have.

Upshot: I'm a slack-ass bastard. I'll try to catch up with emails at least in the next little while, and I'll be back on the blog with something proper soon here, I hope.

Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. Really really. I had no idea it had been so long.

Well, you still update your blog more often than I do.

We miss you, Niko!

Niko -- good to see your post and glad that you're life is busy and full! Sorry about that 7am thing, though -- I can relate to that early morning change in temperament:)Take good care....

Oops....that would be your (not you're) life -- I tend to make errors at this hour, too.

Rob, you can't talk 'cos you never blog, dude.
Niko I love hearing about what's going on in your world so please keep us updated. I can understand that it's hard, though. Between writer's block, Mimi, and adjusting to life on the other side of the world....well sometimes you just don't feel bothered.
Whaddya think of the election here? Are you registered to vote absentee? Man, that Palin chick is dumb as rocks :(

Niko, once upon a time when I was in Europe I hadn't written home for what apparently was toooo long a time and my mother contacted the Red Cross, which in turn contacted me. I understand these services are still available from the IRC...
