A month and a half in a nutshell



Ok, so it's been a while since any signs of life here, mostly because there have been a lot more signs of life outside, but a good chunk of 'too laze' was thrown in there as well.
So I've got a couple quick stories for the last 6 weeks-ish
1. Went bungee jumping for the first time! Twas wicked awesome, I've got a movie of it but am not technologically sound enough to get it on any sort of website, so you'll have to just imagine it's coolty, I added a little picture of the platform, but it doesn't really do justice. Was 45 meters high (which isn't that big as far as bungee jumpages go) , and they were really trying to convince us to do the big back harness, but we just put out the old pouty face and got the ankle straps in the end, which made it way funner. gotta do that again.
2. Went to a Korean church across the street from my house with my friend Luke, no pictures, but it was awesome. It was the college kid service so it was pretty upbeat, but they did some cool and different stuff. During the offering two girls came up with matching outfits and danced a very choreographed half hip-hop dance to this cheezy bubblegum pop song, which was a first. Then there was the fact that it was all in Korean, which made it different enough, but they alternate getting people to come sit by us and translate, pretty awesome. Then, at the end of the service, they brought me up on stage and the whole congregation sang me a song. Some people were really yelling it out too, so I could really hear the words that I didn't understand. the last two lines were in English though and they said 'God Bless you'. cute.
3. Went to a big basketball game yesterday. It was the Samsung Thunders (thats right, not just one thunder, multiple thunderS) versus the 'other guys' in the 3rd game of a 7 game playoff final. We cheered for Samsung, my buddy Pete works for them, and it was pretty intense, like a college game, the fans get really into it. Pretty close too, Samsung won by 3. For a finals game, it wasn't really very good basketball at all, but it was fun to watch for sure, plus I saw the absolute craziest breakdancing I have ever seen in my life during the halftime show. Got a movie of that too, but that's another thing your'e gonna have to ask me to send to you to see.
That about covers it, plans for the next little while are birthday celebrations for the weekend, and I bought a ticket to thailand for my July holiday, but that won't be for a while.
