Day 330: The New Apartment

So I got to spend both Friday and Saturday night at Michael's new pad and let me tell you, it's pretty damn awesome! Not only is it brand spanking new (can you hear the smack across the ass?) but it comes fully loaded with all the toys and gadgets a modern man could ever need. Like a washer/dryer combo (soft sheets and jeans that aren't rock hard when you put them on? be still my beating heart!), a dishwasher, and the creme de la creme - a bright shiny bathroom complete with fully-enclosed Western-style shower. Ahhhhhh.....the best things in life *are* free! (okay well technically this isn't free cause Michael still has to pay rent, but it's free for ME!)

Seriously though, the place is gorgeous. It's a loft-style apartment with real hardwood floors, a giant floor-to-ceiling window with a southern exposure, and a really cool 'tree-fort like' sleeping area upstairs. The apartment still does have that new and empty and 'just moved in' feel cause...well...Michael did just move in, but it's awesome. It feels like a Real Adult Home, not some tiny apartment that a foreign teacher is inhabiting for a year.
Lucky boy, that Michael!

We had a really mellow day today. Went to Carrefour to do some domestic shopping for the new pad, and then to Myongdong to do some shopping for us. (I bought two CD's - best of Robbie, and Kylie! Woohoo!) Afterwards we had a nice long coffee talk (insert Mike Myers Coffee Talk Lady voice: "Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island - talk amongst yourselves!) and then met up with Young-Seok, Nick, Angele, and Darryl for dinner. We had a nice meal at Three Alley Pub in Itaewon and then were gonna get together for games and chit chat after, but we were all just too tired. Michael is still struggling with major jetlag since he came back from Iowa and so we all decided just to call it an early night.

Mike crashed and went to sleep but I was wired so I stayed up late reading the new magazines that Michael brought back for me from America (Details, Rolling Stone & Adbusters.) He also brought me back a bunch of other goodies, including a new funky shirt from The Gap, Clinique Happy For Men cologne and bodywash, as well as some t-shirts, my fave conditioner, and three movies - Love Actually, Under The Tuscan, and Coyote Ugly. Guess who's a sucker for romantic comedies? ;-)
