I started to write this looong post a week or two ago and even in that time Hayden has learned - and changed - so much. She now lays her shoes on the living room floor (which is gently forbidden) and then wags her finger at them and says "no, no, no". She has a new favourite book (Chicka Chicka Boom Boom), she will only get out of the bathtub (tear-free) if we first take out the plug and sing "bye bye mool (water), bye bye". She blows kisses, she pretends to do magic tricks by erratically waving her hands in the air while saying "TA-DA! Gone! Gone!", she makes "vrrooom vrroom" noises when she sees a motorcycle, she likes to really cuddle now, and ... she has three new teeth!
Also - this is cute - I'm still nursing her so when she's had enough milk she will pull down my bra (to cover me up) and then pat me a few times, as if to say -"that's enough now, thanks. You can go away". Maybe she's spending too much time watching me drink coffee..JPG)
As for me and The Illustrious Mister Lee? Well, we've agreed to stay at least one more year in Korea (I've just signed on for another year here at KAIST) but we really were thinking about Qatar or Siberia for a while. That's how happy we felt with Korea/ourselves and the direction our crowded little lives were headed.
Gak.
But all that nastiness has passed, for the time being, and the evidence has been archived. We're going to be kicking around Daejeon for another while yet. We've scratched out Siberia as an option though, and replaced that possibility with Hong Kong. So who knows what adventures are in store for us in 2008-2009?
I'm going to be taking a bloggy break for a while (I really, really, really have SO much work to do) BUT I'M NOT GOING AWAY FOR LONG. I like my blog. And I like the [secret number] of you who read it! So I'll be back in January FOR SURE. And I'll still post occasionally, but will try to limit myself to short paragraphs or funny limericks. The occasional haiku or sonnet or something. And I'll keep reading all of your* blogs. And I'll keep uploading MP3s. I don't look at at my blog stats very often but I recently took a glance to see just how many people were actually downloading MP3s - and I was happily surprised. LOTS and LOTS OF YOU LIKE MUSIC!!!! Although, when polled, only 14 of you admit to it. Well, whatever. Maybe you're shy. Maybe you're lazy. Maybe you hate polls.
Anyway. Welcome to Chez Woori. Around here, we dance all the time.
MP3: The Gossip - your mangled heart
MP3: Magnetic Fields - papa was a rodeo
MP3: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - tidal wave
* except Melanie and Chantelle and Adam. You don't post often enough - and you refuse to join Facebook or My Space. So there. Rebels.

Wow- How'd I miss this blog? That's one cute kiddo you got there. And cheers on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Are you listening to the CBC Radio 3 podcast yet?
That's a lengthy hi from another Canuck in Daejeon.
*scowls*
I resent that! You're just mad because I'm too lazy to get my South Korea pictures captioned. And I'm BUSY! I live in New York now! We New Yorkers live very busy and exciting lives! And important!
Fine. I'll do them soon.
There, is that vague, very-likely-empty promise enough to preserve our dying friendship until Christmas so that you'll buy me a present?
Oh, and Hayden is even cuter than when we were there! That's hardly fair.
Love, Adam
Hi Kim, thanks for the baby/music/blog compliment! Since you're so nice you can feel free to drop by as often as you like. :)
And Adam - *scowl* - I resent the fact that you claim our friendship is dying! If love is a flower (or is it a river?) then friendship is an appropriate angle in a three way mirror - you don't have to see it very often to know that it goes on forever.
Um, you know. That came from the top of my head.
Anyway, it's been 14 years and we still like each other so why stop now? Just join facebook and we can Scrabble like real adults.
Say "hi" to NY for me. I'm fond of the bustle there, in fact. And hi to Katie too. She's nice.
Get on those pictures ...
Aunty WHoop misses her fusion family.
Fine.
Char still reads them.
I don't need you.
pft
-Chantelle
Meh.
Send me your address, snot.:)
ALL I CAN SAY is that, after all the fusion updates, I so hope to someday get LN and Hayden together in Daejon for some toddler fun.
And I like you, too.
What's wrong with Siberia? I kinda like the place :-) Where in Siberia were you thinking about? Y'all could always come to Kyrgyzstan - I'm headed there in 35 days!
