Last night we went out to Konkuk University for my coworker Jasmine’s birthday.  What I thought was going to be an early night after a long, tiring week ended up lasting until 4.  At the end, we got some meat-on-sticks here.  This guy was not messing around with his hot sauce.  After Jim tried some and was sweating to death from its spiciness, I thought he was being a wimp and tried some myself.  Ohhh man, it was hot.  So I offered it to every guy who came up, and the meat-stick man and I laughed at them as they looked around in panic for something (like a friend’s banana milk) that would soothe the pain.

yesterday

I got two boxes in the mail!  Both full of sweets: dark chocolate, Reese’s, brownies, rice krispie treats, puppy chow, nom nom nom.  Mondays aren’t so bad when you get mail from America.

Palta!  This was pretty much all my sister and I ate when we were in South America.  So cheap, so delicious.

I bought bacon for the first time a week ago.  Things I learned in this past week:
- Bacon is really good and easy to make, so I want to eat it for every meal.
- Pretty much anything tastes delicious after being fried in bacon grease.  Grilled cheese, eggs, French toast…
- That filmy feeling covering everything anywhere near my kitchen area is definitely from all the bacon.
- I’m going to have a heart attack soon if I keep eating like this.

TACO BELL IS OPEN!!!
They are having a soft opening starting today, and the grand opening is on Sunday.  My co-worker’s friend called to see if they’d be open late enough for us to stop by after work (9pm), but they won’t be today.  Boo.  Hopefully I can’t hit up that combo 4 tomorrow.  :)
(More menu pics are here.  It’s not expensive at all, and they have french fries!  Exciting!~~~)

It would be nice if I could have a weekend that didn’t involve me cleaning spilled food items in my apartment.  Last time it was ramyeon on my bed, today it was learning that soy sauce does not come out of my wallpaper.

On that note, happy father’s day, dad!  You have raised a klutz.

In honor of it being Friday, and since half of the teachers were hungover from last night, we ordered some McDonald’s for dinner.  There’s nothing better than the feeling of sleepily finishing six classes and then seeing four big bags of greasy Big Macs in the break room.  Although, if the bags were filled with bean burritos and Cheesy Gordita Crunches, I might have actually died from happiness.
