Day 373: Morning Fury

Pauline, Michael, Y-S, and I rolled out of bed (begrudgingly, of course - none of us wanted to wake up) rather late today. We looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. SHIT! Michael's hosting an afternoon get-together with all his classmates today and they're supposed to arrive in an hour! OMG!

The four of us, despite being hung over, went into Super Clean Mode and went nuts. There was a fury of bodies and there was mops and brooms, windex and bathroom cleaner, groceries and ingredients, clothes and bedding flying left, right, and centre. We were running around like chickens with our heads cut off but hey we got it done. The apartment was clean and looking amazing, and a variety of snacks and appetizers had been prepared. And just in time too! We had seriously just finished cleaning (and all four of us had showers and gotten spruced up ourselves in that time too) when two minutes later the first guest arrived. Just in the nick of time!

Almost nobody coming to the party spoke any English so Pauline and I decided to head into Seoul to have some lunch. We went to Jongno and had some chamchi kimchi chigae and it was delicous! (still my favourite Korean food!) After that we had some coffee at Starbucks and then headed to Kyobo to do a little book-shopping. I bought Lonely Planet: Seattle for Cecilia who is moving to America to learn English soon. We chilled around there for a while and then I headed on home.

Peter came over around 7pm and spent literally eight hours at my house working on my computer. It was as slow as hell and even a computer geek like him had a hard time figuring out what to do. In the end he thinks he finally got it back up and running again, which is great cause it sure sucks being without it. He also downloaded Norton to hopefully prevent any future virus outbreaks. Thank you Peter for getting my lifeline back!
