Long Time No... Read?

안녕하세요! 잘 지냈어?

Since it's been forever and a day since anyone has written anything on here, I decided I would do a little update of sorts. Granted, you probably know most of this stuff from my Facebook, but whatever.

- Momma- Mom is doing well. She's back at work. One tumor is gone and the three others are considerably smaller. This is VERY good news, because normally you don't see this much improvement on a 6-week scan. In fact, her neurosurgeon told her not to expect any changes for six more weeks. We're hoping that the two smaller tumors are gone by her next scan in about five weeks. If she can go two years cancer-free, the doctors say there is a very good chance it won't come back and if she's goes 5 years, well, she can just consider herself cancer-free forever.

- Work- I'm still at Arirang editing. I almost went for an interview at a media company to edit subtitles for Korean movies, TV shows, etc., but the conditions weren't that much better than where I currently work and I would be doing the same thing. Plus, I wasn't 100% sure how the experience would translate back in the US and Mom REALLY didn't want me signing a two-year contract. And... almost two years of not going into the office until 2 and 5 pm has really spoiled me... as have the 5-day weekends every other week... Though, I'm pretty busy with side stuff Monday through Friday... so if you think of it that way, every other week I don't get a weekend...

- Fun Work- My freelance writing is starting to bloom. I was asked to do a big feature on the two biggest rock festivals in Korea. In return, I'm getting a 3-day press pass to my favorite one. (Which is awesome, they are around $200.) I'm getting into the good graces of several fairly well known bands here, which will help when it comes to interviewing people, and well, it means I get to randomly hang out with rock bands, which is great fun. I highly recommend it. Just be prepared for a lot of second-hand smoke... Oh, and I'm going to see Ben Folds for free soon. Another perk of being a rock journalist...

- Love Life- Not much of one. I mostly live vicariously through my sister Megan (who will probably be getting engaged in the next year). And then my friends in relationships live vicariously through me in my crazy single escapades in a ginormous city (that seriously doesn't sleep, I mean really. More than NYC. There are bars open until 8 and 10 am here... Or so I've heard...). But there is someone who might play a bigger role in the love life department soon... I'll keep you posted...

And that's about it, I suppose. ^_^ I just wonder if anyone still reads this thing...
