I'm trying--not always successfully--to not talk about work so much. This is hard because work is pretty much all I do anymore! So that leaves very little leftover to talk about...
However, two things that don't have to do with my work! The first is:
Halloween!!
Ramiro and I had a lovely Halloween. No, we didn't dress up. No, we didn't go out. We sat around and watched "scary" movies and then went to bed early and got a full night's sleep. It was the first weekend we'd had in a long time where it actually felt like a weekend! It was great. We felt so well-rested.
The day before Halloween, we visited my parents and carved pumpkins and played Creature Features (a board game similar to Monopoly, but not as cruel).
Pumpkins!!
DAD'S:
MOM'S:
RAMIRO'S:
MINE:
If you're confused as to why I have four pictures when everyone else only had two... It's because I carved two faces on my white pumpkin--one in the front and one in the back!It was really great. We all had a lot of fun. And Ramiro and I both looked REALLY good that day, too!! I straightened Ramiro's faux/mohawk so that it was really nice and he wore really cool clothes and I was wearing a nice little black dress and I even did my make-up like Emily Deschanel so that my eyes stood out and my square jaw looked a bit more womanly. Sadly, no one took our picture. Oh well. You'll just have to take my word for it: we looked great!
The other thing that's happened that doesn't have to do with my work is that Ray (Ramiro's BFF), Ramiro, and I got hooked on watching My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (aka: My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox). It was on the Korean channel and it was amazing! We all fell in love with it and tuned in every week to watch it. Sadly, the last episode aired not too long ago and we can no longer watch it. However, unlike most Asian dramas, it actually had a [spoiler] happy ending!
Basically, it's about these two characters:
A cute, yet kinda doofy guy and the girl who eventually becomes his girlfriend who is in actuality--you guessed it!--a nine-tailed fox:
Spoiler?But, the main thing you need to know about this show is this: it also stars THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD...
Admit it. Man or woman, your life was just made a little bit better for having seen that picture.From what we understand, Noh Min Woo was playing a veterinarian who is also some sort of immortal monster hunter. We all dubbed him "Doctor Beautiful." No need to ask "why." Just look at him.
But then it was looking like Doctor Beautiful might be a villain:
(mainly because he kept trying to get the main guy killed and steal his girlfriend--seen here offering the hero some potion o' doom)We were like "Oh nooooooooooooooooooo!!" How could someone so beautiful be evil? Nuuuuu!! It can't be so!!
But then everything ended up okay and he turned up at the end wearing glasses:
GLASSES!!How cute!
Anyway, if you ever get the chance, you should watch it. It's a very sweet show with lots of humor (not always intentionally), and it has a very attractive man in it. If you do see it, stick with it. All the really great writing shows up near the end.
Well, it's late. I have to go now.
Until next time...
