A little bit of this and that

hey there, its off and on again without much tune to it. just passing the days as best as I can and trying not to think about the troubles that seem to plague me. My passport external died today, along with most of the files i had been wanting to keep. try as I might, I just can't seem to get access to anything on it.. in fact, i can't seem to even see it on my computer. and yet. with others on better systems, all is good, if very slow. not sure quite what to do. sounds something like a familiar line to me.... A shades of a past external problem... but its where my wow game was located *whine*.

in other news.. I got my first real taste of a durian earlier today. I couldn't hack it.. after several moments of trying unsuccessfully to swallow growing bile... I spit it out in the toilet and spent the next hour trying to get the taste out of my mouth. I tasted remarkably a lot like some horrid vial o medicinal concoction a horror story of a dentist often gave me for bad teeth when I was young. Id swear he really was a vile mad scientist in training and I was one of his ready subjects .. too innocent to know when to bite hands, and kick shins before running away.

A friend of mine went to s. Korea on vacation and has been sending me pics of the fun being had. They are great pics. I couldnt ask for better. ^.^ Im really enjoying them. memorable fun for the whole family. mountain and shore. great stone carvings and hand painted and designed architecture 100s of years old. wow. and i learned a few things too. tallest mountain in Korea is as high as simple elevation of a colorado town.. and flat-topped. but the legends are inspiring. they say ancient gods and spirits live on the mountain and visit the white deer lake crater.they also say the volcano is active... but it is, at best, dormant,its last eruption was very very loong ago. it is one of three or four volcanos in korea... which is interresting considering how many there are in japan, just hop and sail that-a-way from s.korea's south-eastern shoreline.

well, guess its on for the next few days more. need to re-up my game on my laptop so i can move it if i have to have a better then flake connection.
gunna try to get my passport fixed on the other computer system that can see it, maybe..at least get a few things off it. maybe have to go back to putting things on dvd disk.wish me luck. and gnight. oyasumi nasai!
