i went to the doc today to get my finger checked out. the verdict: sista can paint her nails again! saweetness. to celebrate, i went to thefaceshop to pick up some baller polish. i will be sporting midnight blue polish for the new year. or 90s neon pink. it has been miserable only being able to paint 9 of 10 nails. its the little things that one takes for granted that really makes you happy once you get it back.
as i got off the subway at sookmyung, i spotted a little old woman shuffling along, also getting off the subway. i steered out of her way, but as i passed, i saw that she had a balenciaga puffer jacket on. i burst out laughing. an 80-year old woman in a "real" balenciaga puffer jacket. does balenciaga even make puffer jackets? for old women?
oh korea. you and your counterfeit goods. how i hate them all. there is no shame in korean counterfeit goods. they'll counterfeit anything possible. i saw a little girl with a pair of fake uggs today. there was an ugg label sewed upside down on the back of her boots. ive seen 'black face' and 'east face' jackets. koreans are label-obsessed. ill never feel like a bitch again if i want something designer. and at least ill buy the real deal.
my landlord is a bit of a nutter. i think he comes into my apartment everyday while i am at work. ive been having issues with my water heater and regular heater. its all built into one unit. sometimes when the heat is on, it sounds like there is a flood in my kitchen. but no, its just what it does. he comes down when i get home and tells me stuff in korean. he points and nods like i understand. i point and nod back and smile. then he leaves.
ive thought about buying a really raunchy sex toy to leave out on my counter. maybe he will think twice about entering all the time.
oh well, he did haul out a chair i wanted to get rid of. it smelled of cat piss and needed to be heaved. i feel kinda bad. he's a short, little, crippled old man. he must have nearly thrown out his back. the chair was as big as he.
new years party chez moi. i dont feel like dealing with crazy crowds in seoul. and i havent entertained in awhile. all i want for new years is fun. good friends, good drinks, good food. no chaos, no drama.
the story of my life.
