Big White Barbie Loves the Internet

I love the internet. I love it so much that the kids at my local PC Bang no longer even get excited when I come in the door. It's almost like they've forgotten that I'm a fucking celebrity! They still bring my free coffee at least, so the love-fest lives on. The day the free coffee stops is the day that I cheat on my local PC Bang.

I don't have my own computer here in Korea, so I spend a good deal of time in my PC Bang. Hence, I try to make valuable use of my time here. Among the extremely important things that I attend to while here are:

1) Online TV. It is absolutely essential that I get my fill of Heroes. And, when it starts up again in January, Lost. Now, I won't ramble on too much about Heroes. Doing so may either spoil those who haven't seen the new episodes, or bore the piss out of those whom have no idea what they're missing. I'll sum up this season by just saying that I'm glad Peter got a haircut and the producers have realized the importance of creating excuses for him to not wear a shirt. Now, if only the same can be done for Kensei/Adam. Oh, my ovaries!

2) Keep in touch with you bastards! At least, I presume that the people who are reading this know me. Frankly, I don't see why anybody not aquainted with me would be all that interested in reading a running commentary on my life.

3) Bitch! Given that I don't have as many people to speak to on a regular basis as I did back home, I need somewhere to vent. Voila!

4) Talk about myself. As with number 3, I need to find an oulet where I can make up for not having friends who will pretend to listen to me as I talk about the trivial details of my life for hours on end. I miss you poor bastards!

5) Socially network! Thanks to my friend the Internet, I've been able to connect with old friends here, as well as make some new ones. This weekend alone I have two outings planned, thanks largely to Sir Internet. The first is a meeting with a French teacher here in Busan. I went on to pusanweb looking for a French tutor so that I could improve my spoken French. It turns out that there is a French teacher here in Busan looking to improve her spoken English. Score, or score? After that I'm taking a run down to Seomyeon for a Euchre game that I'm trying to set up. Thank you, Madam Internet! How I love three!

6) Porn! Just kidding. I get more than enough Asian Porn on TV here!!!

7) Music and Movies! Life without stealing is a life unlived.
