oh what a beautiful morning

.. Actually that was a week ago. It was very nice fo 5 days in a row, but I didn't want to jinx it all by writing such a lovely post complimenting mother nature's crafty ways. Then the fog rolled in off the sea and we've been sitting in a cloud for a day and a half... you'd have thought it'd burn off in the sun from the days previous, but alas, no such luck. On a good note, even with the gray and 100% wet, oh I mean humid, days, I think I'm going to take a hike tomorow. Its time - its literally been months.

. . I can't believe I finally got my snow video up and now its spring already. My how time flies! Its funny the things you notice. Trees standing by themselves bloom in full all at once - the ones by buildings bloom in diagonal layers. I walked into 3 spider webs in less than a minute one evening, and now I see and hear birds and chipmunks everwhere. I smell the sea. I smell potatoes even though this is a country of rice and kimchee. I felt comfortable, wonderful even, running outside despite the fact that I've been avoiding running at all costs for the last few months... and now after 4 days and 3 long hard uns, its still just a "good hurt!" (yes, I was working out, just not that kind of running). The wild cats are back and fighting with each other as of about a day after the birds and spider's return. People are more pleasant on the phone. I remember that when I got here in July that they had the BIGGEST SPIDERS I'd ever seen outside of a zoo or museum.
