http://halfmoonbear.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Saturday, April 23, 2005. After weeks of research I am going to Yongsan tomorrow morning to pick up a laptop and a digital camera. (and an Xbox) -ed. I can barely contain my excitement - after proving that four months of computer abstinence drastically improved my life and lifestyle, I am once again ready to poison the future with a virtual tech cokefest. Laissez les bons temps gaspiller! That works wonderfully and came with a complement of home-burnt NEW music! The jo...

Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Thursday, June 30, 2005. End of an Era (of darkness). I am still working on my Osaka summary giganta-post, and I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the immigration office in Korea, and fill out yet more paperwork in aid of completing my visa changes. New advertising slogan : Red Tape Korea (replacing Dynamic Korea). Mind you, I wonder the same thing about Canada, for different reasons. Hi half-moon bear ( she really calls him that -ed. Grampy made a lovely toast, t...

Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Wednesday, August 31, 2005.

Posted by Vivec at 9:03 PM. Tuesday, August 30, 2005. The Road Goes Ever On. A) extremely cheap - only 3000 US dollars for two years(! Incredibly, although it's a new program, it's still rated 25th out of Asian schools.

Half Moon Bear: December 2005
http://halfmoonbear.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Sunday, December 04, 2005. My timing is anything but good as I hit things off with a delightful woman (pilates and ballet instructor) today and I learned (and forgot) about as many new Korean words as I have all year. We had coffee and tea at Kanghwamun Starbucks and I got to see about a bajillion heavily armoured 기동 경찰 (riot policemen) preparing to 'suppress the demo' as my guide put it. Yeah, suppress that mofo all the way over to this here Starbucks! Let's go back t...

Half Moon Bear: July 2005
http://halfmoonbear.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Sunday, July 31, 2005.

Their supporting points are :. 1 a low level of communication means that your relationship is based on a physical level that doesn't permit of the hallowed meeting of minds that characterizes the vast majority of relationships between people who share the same culture.

Half Moon Bear: September 2005
http://halfmoonbear.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Tuesday, September 20, 2005. First Korean film (sans subs). I went to see this movie - http:/ www.film2.co.kr/moviedb/default.asp? Entirely in Korean and I understood the gist of it, not too difficult considering the audience and genre, but I could only laugh at the slapstick. Women, the only ones there. So I was a litle put off my game, but I still managed 2 for 3. Then we went to CGV for the movie. They paid for everything but the popcorn (! Posted by Vivec at 4:56 AM.

Another Blogging Canadian in Korea. Friday, May 27, 2005. I don't pretend to have all the answers but I'll tell you one thing: Mr. Monkey and the Hut is the most sordid rogue in the history of English learning literature. Not since the saucy and let's be honest shall we, flouncy, Jane of Dick and Jane has any ambassador to the ESL world been so justifiably repudiated. Posted by Vivec at 5:55 PM. Monday, May 16, 2005. Working for the weekend. Posted by Vivec at 2:40 AM. Sunday, May 15, 2005. I was invited...

Broken Controller: Your Stinging Velvet Arms
http://brokencontroller.blogspot.com/2004/09/your-stinging-velvet-arms.html
Your Stinging Velvet Arms. Hmmm I think I should start working on some of this. Tomorrow. Yeah. For now, I'm going to wallow in my misery. This almost never happens on my blog. Yeah, that was a good one! It's back to being Ol' Lonesome Joel. Dammit! Now I have no one to watch Kids in the Hall and Mr. Show with, and my cats are thoroughly sick of every episode. Where does that leave me? A pox on Dane Lutz and his heathen need for money! As for the rest? Well, I don't think I can put it into words. But...
