and I meant it, too. But here I fucking am.
I've also said (a number of times, and recently too) that I didn't think I'd ever be able to stomach octopus. But I went for seafood ddukbogi with Shin Sung-Min today, and damned if I didn't let my manners (plus a bit of curiosity) get the best of me again. It wasn't as chewy or slimy as imagined; rather, it was a little crunchy - like a slightly steamed carrot. And the flavor was pretty bland. All in all, not as bad as I had thought. But octopus of the fresh variety still makes me want to vomit, so that's off the menu. For now.
Also, ate shellfish and cuttlefish for the first time. How many more "first times" do I have left? (With seafood, I mean.)
Also, drank yuja tea. Yuja is a fruit which looks and tastes quite similar to lemon, except it is sweet, not sour. Koreans love it, it seems, when the weather turns cold. And all the vitamin C can't hurt in warding off the swine flu.

Omg, I want to try yuja. I have become obsessed with citrus lately since it's cheap & makes me feel way better in the morning than a croissant. If I send you chocolate, would you send me tea?
I would love to send you yuja tea. Only thing is, the tea I had was made with fresh crushed yuja, so I haven't tried and don't exactly know where to find dried yuja tea (though I'm assuming it exists). But I'll totes work on it.
Let me reiterate: THE HORSE HAS THE SWINE FLU
god, everyone has the swine flu but meeeeeeeee. why not /me/?
THE HORSE IS UNSTOPPABLE
