However, I don't want things to become spectacularly boring for the readers (whoever you are. I mean feel free to leave a comment or something, stranger.)

As I've said before, my life isn't necessarily all that interesting at the moment (though it is undoubtably good). It's actually a tad humdrum. Stuck in a job I hate, have to put up with rude people for the sake of keeping the peace, and I'm just counting down the days until I get to shake off the shackles, the dirt, and the feeling of tepidity and spread my wings again.

This is definitely one of those times when I realize that I'm probably not made for working under other people's thumbs. I'm not office worker material.

Anyway, more on that as my thoughts develop. Right now it's just a big mess, like someone pranced right up to the pool of my mind and tossed in a tiger (that makes it only a fraction more chaotic than usual).

So, World Cup is pretty much over as far as most of us here in Korea are concerned. Korea's out, USA is out, England is out, and even Japan is out now. The hardcore soccer fans are now picking random teams to cheer for until the end, and the rest of us are slowly coming down off of the World Cup high.

Good go for all of you! KOREA! USA! ENGLAND! JAPAN! You did your best, and you did well!

Ideas are still being formed, and help is still being requested. Thanks to those of you who expressed your interest in ELA! I hope that more of you will send out an e-mail (even just to say "Good luck!", support is nice no matter who you are.) expressing your interest to participate in the language/culture project.

Also wouldn't mind hearing from anyone who just has some interesting ideas they want to share.

Please send an e-mail to [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you!

There's not much going on, actually. Well, that's a total fib. There's PLENTY going on... but I am currently not at liberty to discuss these things.

I'll keep everyone updated as much as I can.

Until next time,

~A.
