Happy Teacher's Day!

Yesterday was Teacher's Day. Presents, sweet! Chocolate, flowers, mouth freshening spray.. Hey, it's a foreign land. (And I drink coffee right before class. Don't worry, I'll take the hint.)

Today I got an additional present in my google news aggregator. California legalized gay marriage. I probably don't know enough about the legality issues to know what that really means, but I still like it.

So..have a good day. Happy weekend! Have a beer on me.

One Scary Cyclone

I was feeling pretty shaken by the 10,000 dead in Myanmar from one storm.

Then the total went up to 15,000. 15 thousand people dead at once.

When I went to look for an article to link, in case you know nothing about this country's problems--the country formerly known as Burma, located between India and Thailand--I find that the total's been upped to 22,000.

That's horrifying.

The Ever-Evolving Diet

My aunt asked me what has been my biggest growth experience while being in Korea.

I read the news every weekday. That's pretty huge. I suggest you do the same. The google news aggregator is my new favorite software.

Now, I read that diabetes will lead to Alzheimer's. That's a big deal, because I eat bread and sugar all the time and have assumed for a few years now that I'd be ending up with diabetes. (I mean, I'm genetically predisposed, and excessive sugar intake leads to diabetes, right?) I was unhappy with that prospect but unwilling to change my diet.

I'm completely unwilling to commit myself to dementia.

The article depressed me so much that I had to run to the vending machine for a grape soda.

Help!
