Things my family definitely should've told me when I first arrived:

That my brother's pool table is in the garage.

So much for that really buckling down and cramming on the Korean homework during my last few days home. I'm going to go hang out in the "man cave", as the boys have wittily come to call it.

It's okay. Yesterday I baked a cake. I'm keeping my gender identification equally mixed, as always.

And tomorrow I might take my cousin and her husband to noraebang in Dallas. Because I hate it so much that I have to seek it out in my hometown. Maybe we'll find a place with decent wangalbi while we're down there, anyway.

Can I visit you in Texas instead of Korea please?

In Korea, I can show you a much better time. Texas will mostly be us hanging out in our sweatpants, sneaking booze in the garage and watching terrible American television.

You down with that?

You know I'd never turn down a visit from the G Man, no matter where it was.

Korea does have the advantage that it doesn't make me plan my trip six months in advance and visit their UK Embassy just because I happen to have been arrested twice for VERY minor things many many years ago. Bloody yanks. Hmph.

Haha. I didn't know it was twice. Well done, Sawyer.

Anyway, you'd get to eat my grams' home cooking, so it might be worth the planning. If you're serious, you know October is the month to aim for.

Gary said...

Yeah twice. Cautioned once (which only stays on a UK record for two years) and released with no charge the second time. Yet even the release without charge would have to be declared at the Embassy and makes me ineligible for the standard UK-USA tourist visa. Madness.

Don't feel bad. They gave me a good once over at immigration and again at customs when I was coming in this time, and I'm a fucking citizen.

Immigration hates me everywhere except Paris, where some bored looking French snob just glanced down his nose at my passport and waved me away.

Gary said...

To be honest it's the fact that even a release without charge counts. Y'know..........WITHOUT CHARGE. And yet even that's enough to deny me easy entry. It's loopy.

Well anyway, if you decide it's worth it, we've got a couch for you here anytime.

Gary said...

Uh-huh. I'd like to visit you next year, wherever it may be.

I would like that as well. Very, very much.
