After a trip up to Seoul a little while back to meet up with some Twitter and Facebook folks, I've been huddled in lurvely Daegu doing a little bit of everything -- reading, making some changes to my upcoming spring syllabus, a little hiking (got yelled at by a South Korean soldier for walking too close to an honest-to-jeebus radar installation by accident), catching up on some movies from 2018, and being disappointed with True Detective.
Some adult students have invited me to the "East Sea" (mention "Sea of Japan" here and you'll get a ton of stinky-eye) next week for sushi, so that should be fun.
So what else can I say? As long as I don't read US news (lol fascism / the president is literally a Russian asset) or British news (lol hard Brexit hopefully there will be room for all us serfs on Jacob Rees-Mogg's country estates) my vacation has been quiet and pleasant enough.
And did you know that in about 60 or 61, Samuel Delany played a coffee-shop show with Bob Dylan? (Not a reading, but a musical performance.) But Dylan was a dick about it and insisted on opening rather than playing after Delany?
Now you know.
