But I don't feel like it. Maybe later. Midnight here in the Land of the Morning Calm, and I need to go to bed so I can get up for work in the morning (don't feel much like doing that either, but that's another story.
Here's what I wanted to show y'all. I pulled it out and finished it tonight. I'll start the second one this week.
Here we are, the promised pictures of my recently-finished dragon shawl. Looks damn awesome, if I say so myself. No long-winded nattering about the details of it, since I have been informed that that is boring. :P Feel free to ask though, if you want an earful.
Last night I didn't have any dinner plans, so I asked my coworkers what they were doing. The conversation went something like this: (Korean is in italics)
Me: Pansy-teacher, what are you doing for dinner?
Pansy-teacher: What?
Me: Dinner. Let's eat dinner together.
Pansy-teacher: Ah. ... Hmm... No dinner. My younger brother.... (to another teacher) How do you say 'hospital' in English?
Joon, one of our 6 year-olds: Hospital!
Me: Good job, Joon! (to Pansy) Hospital? Why?
Pansy-teacher: Umm... my younger brother, go to hospital... um...-waves her hands, thinking- baby... baby open!
Me: -blinks- Huh? Your brother baby open? -trying to wrap my mind around this-
At this point i just burst out laughing, and was like, alright then. So I went to find Donald and Violet-teacher, to tell them that Pansy-teacher couldn't have dinner with us because her brother was 'baby open.'
She did end up going out to eat with us, and for the rest of the evening we teased her about it, until she put up her hands and waved them, saying, "No, no, stop, stop, stop!" Actually, we teased her after that too, and will probably continue to do so. Even the other Korean teachers thought it was funny.
Just thought I'd share. I really wish I could videotape/take pictures with my mind sometimes, and this was one of those.
So here I am on a Sunday night catching up on my blogging. It's about 1230 and I have open lessons tomorrow so I need to get to bed soon, but I had some pics I wanted to post. Plus I slept in a lot today, since I didn't go to SnB and I was sick.
What goes first... here. Yesterday was Worldwide Knit in Public Day, so the Seoul SnBers had a bit of a celebration. I didn't take my camera, but I will share some of the amazing-ness when it is posted somewhere else. We all met up at Seoul Arts Center, and we knit, and took pics, and traded yarn and did a fun quiz and Nikki gave away hand-dyed yarn. She and Carson showed off their spinning, and I'll be damned if it didn't look cool and I wanna try. But I have enough projects on my mind right now without adding more. Might start spinning later when I design this shawl and need some appropriately colored laceweight. (Yeah, I wanna design a lace shawl. So what? :P)
The trading was awesome - I got rid of a bunch of yarn I had leftover from projects/stashed and didn't want. And I got some new stuff!
We're also knitting a blanket, and raffling it to give the money to a charity that works with victims of sexual violence here in Korea. ('cause they don't know what it is, for the most part) it's going to be patchwork, with all of us knitting squares. I decided to put together various things that I knew I would never use for anything else (Yes, you, Lion Brand chenille!) and make up some squares. I have til the end of the month to finish them, but here are two I did last night. I'm really proud of them - I think they will make great additions, besides being a tad too big. Oh well, gives them character.
One is blue chenille and sparkly eyelash yarn, and the other is some black acrylic held with a black/gold sparkly thing the woman at the Gangnam store gave me. She likes to give stuff like that when you buy things, so I thought I would put it to good use. Both of them look surprisingly good - just normal garter, but nice. I have some more I'm thinking of, and will probably do another one tomorrow.
Did I mention I started my first sock a couple weeks ago? Yeah I know I am slow - I've been working on it in bits and pieces, cause both my shirt and my shawl are nearing their ends. I found a crochet edging for the shawl and I am about to cast of the sleeves for my shirt. I need to get some beads... have to get up and go to ddm some saturday. Anyway, here is the sock!
And then when I got home, there was this waiting for me.
Just in case you can't see from the picture, the paper was in a plastic sheet protector. And he shredded that to get to the paper inside. He's been doing this a lot lately, and so I went and got him some new toys and chewy things to help out with that. No dice, apparently. Now he's sleeping all cute on my bed, but last night, he stayed in the bathroom for a good few hours before i decided to let him out. UGH!!!! I'm really not sure what to do. It's not like he doesn't have things to chew on, or toys. I know he gets bored, but there's not much I can do about that - I leave the door open for him to play on the balcony during the day. I could leave him in the bathroom, but that would be mean. Still, I'm not sure what else would work. I probably shouldn't leave stuff out, but hell if I know what he's going to try chewing on next.
Okay, and now it's 1 am and I need to get to bed. I still have planning to do for Thailand/Ashley's wedding/home trip tomorrow, and parents to impress as well. Oh, and I need a shower before work. At least I don't have to worry about my car payment anymore.
This afternoon went well, I thought. I managed to have a class with Luis and Erica that didn't leave me ready to kill someone or cry, and it went more quickly than I expected. I'm going to try to come up with as many activities as possible for them, so if something doesn't work out, I can just quit. I did lose Luis to the blocks for a bit, but I decided not to make an issue of it; and of course, there was some sticker-bribing. That's okay, I think - anything to make them pay attention.
After I finished and went back to the office, I looked around for Donald, since he's usually ready to leave before I am on Tuesday/Thursday. The principal had abducted him to teach him Korean, Joan said, and the rest of us laughed a bit about it. Joan told me I should go rescue him, but when I walked past the office he didn't look particularly desperate, so I figured I'd give it a few minutes. Instead, I took my camera and went to take a picture that I'd been meaning to get for a while.
Here it is:
The first time I saw this, I was understandably confused. But I guess ignoble laminating film would be a pain to work with. It's only this A3 size that has it, though. The regular A4 has a picture of a tiger in a jungle, which, while also slightly mind-boggling, is nowhere near the entertainment level of this one.
When I had finished taking my picture, I wandered into Tulip class with my camera to see what the all-day class was up to. Actually, I had seen Kim-teacher carrying a tray of fried rice in there, so I knew what was up. I started talking to some of the girls in my small pieces of Korean, which always gets them excited. They laugh and clap for me, "Siobhain-teacher, very good job!!" I sat down to talk to them, and they quizzed me on what words I knew in Korean. I knew most of what they asked me - tree, eye, sun, fried rice; except for 'face' which I can't for the life of me remember now. I got a bowl of rice and ate with them, and took some pictures, which they thought was funny. They like posing for pictures, and think it's even funnier to look at them afterwards. I played with editing some of them tonight.
Here's Emily and Annie, with the usual Asian pose. Cheese!
Here's a better shot of the boys, without Hannah. David is Emily's twin - have I mentioned that we have an amazing amount of twins at my school? Srsly - there are like 6 sets of them, and that's not an exaggeration. But David and Emily are my favorites I think.
The hearts in the background were entirely coincidental, but I thought they were funny - the kids always like to joke about who loves each other. It's usually a fair amount of "Siobhain-teacher, Donald-teacher, love!" or any other combination of two (or three) teachers, depending on how silly the kids are being. But I really want to caption this picture, "Gregory, David, love?"
Lastly, two pictures of Christina, one edited and one not. I'm not sure which one I like better. Christina is a sweet little girl, and she always reminds me of xtna, both in looks and attitude. She's very playful. Here, she was laughing about one of my responses to her questioning on my and Donald's non-relationship.
In other news, there's not much here. I measured my shirt last night, and got 41cm, but when I measured again later, I was only at 39 - but that's okay!! I'm almost done - with the stockinette tunic part anyway!! Soon I can switch needles and do the top part, and then the sleeves. I can't wait. I'm thinking of starting another project in the meantime though, just for some instant gratificatin - i can't decide if I wanna try the socks I've been considering for a while or do the presents for julie and bethany that I've been putting off... We'll see.
Now, I need to go plan my open class lesson, since I spent 4 hours napping this evening. Didn't mean to, and woke up with mogi bites and an allergically-swollen lip, but I guess that's my bad for sleeping with the window open. Probably should eat some dinner too. Maybe when I get done with that, I will let myself do some knitting or reading. I'm going to be up for another couple hours anyway, I guess.
Here I am drinking my peach nectar (love this stuff, tho I like Japanese Peach Water better) and chilling, and I thought I would post something real quick, since I'm in between things at the moment.
I did a lot of reading last night (read: was up til 8 this morning), and I can never have too many books on my blog. I was going to watch a movie (Twilight, again) but then I realized the copy I have is crappy and recorded in the theater, so I went looking for a DVD rip, which is out. Love to Axxo and his support of us piratey types. While that was dling, I figured I'd read some Fables, since I haven't in a while. I got thru quite a few issues, including an Animal Farm-esque stroyline and the most recent, 'Storybook Love' in which Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf finally hook up - sort of. I went to read the next issue tonight and have to re-dl it. Grrr.
After I was stalled on Fables, I started the second volume of the Tir Alainn trilogy, Shadows and Light, and finished
The shirt is now about 34 cm... less than 10 to go before I can switch needles!! I can't wait,
Okay, off we go.
Here, this is my cute new knitting needle holder, made by a Rav friend in exchange for some yarn I sent her. I got it today and it's so adorable! Tho a bit bigger than I expected, which is cool.
Also, I discovered that Gizmo had eaten a chocochip cookie when I came home this afternoon. So far he hasn't exhibited any symptoms of death. I think maybe he's just indestructible or something.
Well I thought I would get here and write a blog post whilst waiting for my steak to finish cooking in the oven, and post some pics of stuff that I thought would be fun to share and have been meaning to post, but then I realized my camera battery is mysteriously dead, so it’s charging now. Breaking things into categories is easiest, I suppose.
Plans for next year (and by that I mean, after September): I looked up CELTA courses last night for a few hours, and Thailand and Vietnam seem to be the main places to go. Vietnam sounds cool (and is $100 cheaper), but I have no huge desire to go there, and I would love to see Thailand. Unfortunately none of the schedules for the classes look super-amazing – the earliest one that I could do without getting out of my contract early starts in late September. The others start the first week or so of October. This is good if I want to work here a few extra weeks/go travel around Thailand a bit before starting. But it does also mean I will get home later in the year.
A couple of friends have mentioned they would possibly be able to look after Gizmo for me, so that should be fine. My project for this week, I think, will be to dive into the wonderful world of recruiting again and see what jobs are available in … hmm. How long will I be home for? I don’t want to inconvenience the cat-sitter for longer than necessary, so maybe 3 weeks? Anyway, need to look into getting another contract, as well as decide for certain which CELTA course to take (almost certain it will be Thailand, probably Bangkok. The Chiang Mai one is out in the wilderness, although there is a package where you have room and board for $2400 provided. Still think I might like Bangkok better, me being a city girl.
So yeah – looking for a job again. Should be easier this time around, since I’m already here. I think. Here’s hoping.
Knitting: So here’s where my camera would have come in. Never fear, pictures will be posted, as they are necessary (and I have to put some on Rav too.) I have … 3 projects I’m working on right now. (I mean, I’m pretty sure it’s only 3.)
-- The Shawl: It’s
about 50 cm deep now. Yay. I just
started the 3rd ball of the sparkly stuff, and my plan for the moment
is to finish all the sparkle stuff, and crochet or knit on a lace border with
the rest of the non-sparkly stuff.
-- The Shirt: Well, I did a fair bit of knitting the other
night at Feast to keep my hands busy and stop me from just walking out (they
were talking till 10:15 PM OMG and I wanted to get home before midnight. Didn’t happen.-sigh-) I’m on my third set of skeins, and have
realized omg I have a ton of this stuff.
(I bought 20balls just to be sure I would have enough.) The last time I checked, the shirt was about
25cm done, but I can’t remember if I’ve done more on it since then. Oh well.
The point is, it’s getting there!! Soon I will be able to start the
ribbing for the bodice, and if there’s anything more stimulating than
stockinette, it’s 1x1 ribbing. Woohoo, good times.
I’m trying not to think how bored I got with the ribbed scarf I made. It's SOOO SOFT, tho. Silk/cotton, gotta love it.
-- My most recent project, the ‘Tank Top Enabler’: This is a lace shrug I found on Knitty.com, ‘cause
I like my tank tops and I want to be able to wear them without having people stare
at me. So I’m making this shawl, and we’ll
see how it goes. I was working on it tonight for a bit before cooking dinner –
it’s marked as a ‘piquant’ (difficult) pattern in Knitty’s archive, but I did
the Argosy scarf, and that was too, so I think I shall be okay. I’ve only gotten about 15 rows into it, ‘cause
I’ve had to pull it out, restart, figure out the decreases, etc. I think I am going to be okay for the moment,
though. This will def. need to be blocked when finished.
And there was a huge sale at yarn.com so I went shopping for stuff for projects next year. I think I have at least 4 things planned, not counting whatever I just decide to do with the stash I already have. That will be my last yarn purchase for a while, I think - I probably want a new computer before September, so I should be saving for that.
Stuff I do while knitting: I can’t work on anything too complex while I’m knitting, especially if I have to read subtitles- I still haven’t quite gotten the habit of not looking at what I’m doing, probably cause I’m working with double-stranded stuff and don’t want to accidentally split it. Anyway – I’ve finished the drama I’d been watching recently, Romantic Princess. Despite the usual annoyances with plot holes, it was pretty fun. I totally was wrong about the main guy not really being attractive – he definitely grew on me (especially after that swimming scene). One thing that surprised me about this drama – actual kissing. Srsly. After watching Hana Yori Dango and Devil Beside You, this show was way more explicit (though not to be compared the Korean HYD where there’s a ‘bedroom aftermath’ scene.) Once I got into the show, I really enjoyed both lead characters, and they’re interesting strong characters, especially Xiao Mai.
Last night I watched a movie I’d never seen but have been hearing about for a while – 10 Things I Hate About You. I’ve been on a bit of a 90s teen movie kick anyway, but this was surprisingly good. I felt like it could have been a lil more fleshed out, story-wise. But it was a great, witty movie with lots of quirks (guidance counselor who’s writing a romance novel? White rastas?), and I’m a fan of Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance – need to watch that again…) and of course, Heath Ledger is just yummy. I hadn’t heard his accent before, but it’s adorable.
What next? Hmm... have several TV shows I need to catch up on – have yet to see the new Who special cause I haven’t watched S4 yet. Maybe I will get started on that. Or all those like 5 other shows. We’ll see.
I’ve been reading here and there lately – some vampire novels and started (finally) Oku no Hosomichi the other day. I think I’m about halfway through it, but it’s one of those books that will probably bear re-reading. I especially want to go back and write down some of my thoughts on the haiku. And Anand reminded me, I really should write that post about why I chose this name for my blog. I need to get started on that translation too, before I forget all the Japanese I ever knew. At least I have the stuff printed out and in my house – that’s a step. I’d like to get enough into it to see if I should bring one of my dictionaries back with me – my grammar ones especially.
The rest of the time: there’s work. Which is fine as usual. I made one of my 7-year old boys cry the other day, on accident (not that I was sorry about it, mind you. ) Before you think I’m a horrible person – Korean children have this annoying habit of molesting foreign teachers. It’s not just my kids – it seems to be some sort of epidemic. It’s really annoying, because it stems from rudeness/disrespect – many Korean children are not taught that it’s rude to stare or point at foreigners, and several of my kids seem to think it’s funny to be disrespectful to me, not only verbally, but also touching me. I always get onto them about it, cause they wouldn’t dare do it to a Korean teacher, but it’s still really annoying. Anyway – I was in my afternoon class on Friday, and one of the boys, Reo, grabbed my ass with both hands. He only comes up to a bit higher than my waist, and my first response when someone does something like that is to backhand them. Thankfully I didn’t, but I spun around and grabbed his wrist so fast that one of my nails caught the side of his next and scratched him a bit. I don’t think it hurt him very much, probably just mostly surprised him, and he started crying a bit. Hopefully he won’t do that again.
Friday was also Teacher’s Day, a pretty important holiday here. Well, for us it was anyway. We didn’t get the day off, but we did get lots of flowers and chocolate. A couple parents brought cake, so we had 2 cakes, and 2 large boxes of fruit as well. And we got a bonus, which was nice. Donald and I went to Costco with Debbie and her kids that night, and I have stocked my freezer with meat, so I will almost def. not need anymore till I leave, I think, unless I start eating a lot more of it. Of course, I will have to go back for cheese, but that’s understandable. Next year I really need to get my own card. That reminds me – I need to go grocery shopping for normal-ish stuff tomorrow. I didn’t find maple syrup there, sadly (add that to my list of stuff to bring back with me), but I did get chicken broth, so I can try to make risotto again. Sweetness!
Like my awesome vase for the flowers? Yes, you too can own this awesome 1.5liter coke bottle vase....
Maybe I’ve not mentioned this before, but I like making (iced) tea, and since I have like 8 different kinds, I usually mix 2 together and see how it goes. Tonight’s mix is some Ahmad Black Mango and some Celestial Seasonings Peppermint. I like it. It’s a very light mix, and the mango comes after the peppermint but doesn’t get overwhelmed by it. I think I might do that again sometime. That mango is amazing! I’m running out tho – might have to traipse back to Itaewon.
Ah! Music! Well, I’ve
been feeling a little bored with my music lately – I haven’t gotten anything
new for a while. So I found a torrent
from November, some ranking list, and picked a bunch of songs I thought looked
interesting, as well as the new Fray and Three Days Grace albums. Haven’t listened to the latter yet, but the
former is… well. The Fray takes some
sinking in. I’ve been enjoying quite a
few of the others though – Rihanna’s ‘Disturbia’ which sounds like it could be
the theme for some upbeat version of the Silent Hill movies or something… well,
maybe more Resident Evil? Something set in a city. More towards psychothriller
and such. I was intrigued to see a new
OAR song, ‘Shattered’, which I like.
Always enjoy Nickelback’s singles – stop cringing, okay? There’s a few more, but I think my favorite
one is by someone I’d never heard of before.
It’s called ‘Shake it’ by Metro Station.
Dance-poppy, and addictive like whoa.
And on the other end of the scale is ‘Addicted’ by a band called Saving
Abel. The latter two are below for your
listening pleasure, but be warned that ‘Addicted’ is probably NSFW.
Hmm. 12:30 am. I should… go to bed, I guess? Wanna try out the camera first. And damn, I was going to finish that email to Julie tonight. -sigh-
This is disgusting.

Convicted soldier: 'You probably think I'm a monster'
May 11, 2009
CNN
PADUCAH, Kentucky (CNN) -- "You probably think I'm a monster."
Former U.S. soldier Steven Green has been convicted of raping and killing a 14-year-old Iraqi girl.
That's what FBI agents said former U.S. soldier Steven Green told them nearly three years ago about accusations that he had raped a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killed her and her family.
Green was found guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court in Paducah of the crimes and could face the death penalty.
Green spoke as the agents and he drove from his grandmother's home in Nebo, North Carolina, where he'd been arrested, to a detention center 45 minutes away in Asheville, North Carolina, authorities said.
According to court documents:
Green had taken his grandmother to dinner, and the two had plans for a movie. Agents asked the former Army private whether they could tell her the reason for his arrest. Green initially said yes, but changed his mind, not wanting to upset her. Agents let him smoke a few cigarettes before putting him in the car for the drive.
Without prompting, Green spoke. "Knew you guys were coming," he said.
It was June 30, 2006, a month and a half after his discharge from the military. Green was a former member of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
The agents asked no questions. They listened as Green talked during the drive.
"All of my buddies were getting killed over there. My lieutenant got his face blown off. ... George Bush and Dick Cheney ought to be the ones that are arrested."
Green, a high school dropout, was a product of Bush's hometown of Midland, Texas. He had enlisted in 2005, leaving the hot, dry, oil-rich land of the Permian Basin for another hot, dry, oil-rich land.
"Joining the Army was the worst decision I ever made," he said.
Now, Green stands convicted for crimes he committed as a soldier.
Prosecutors said he and others in his unit plotted an attack on an Iraqi family. Green herded the parents and younger sister of 14-year-old Abeer al-Janabi into another room of a house while two accomplices raped her. He then gunned down her parents and her 6-year-old sister, before joining in the rape and killing the teenager.
The crimes happened in the Mahmoudiya area of Iraq, south of Baghdad, in 2006. Last week, a federal jury in McCracken County, Kentucky, deliberated for more than 10 hours before convicting Green for murder, rape, conspiracy and obstruction of justice, according to the court's Web site. Guilty on all 17 counts.
Four other former soldiers are in prison for their roles in the crime and the cover-up that followed.
Pvt. 1st Class James Barker, Sgt. Paul Cortez, Pvt. 1st Class Jesse Spielman and Pvt. 1st Class Bryan Howard received sentences ranging from 27 months to 110 years, with the possibility of parole in 10 years in the most severe cases.
They were convicted and sentenced in a military court. On Monday, as the penalty phase of his trial begins, Green might become the first former U.S. soldier to face the death penalty for war crimes before a civilian court.
The reason for the distinction: Green was discharged from the military before his crimes came to light.
When the killings became public in 2006, the Iraqi public was enraged and some Iraqi officials demanded that American soldiers accused of crimes against civilians face prosecution in Iraqi courts.
U.S. military and civilian officials condemned the attack and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.*************
Granted, I agree that the soldiers who died fighting a war that we should never have started - that's tragic. And I agree that Bush and Cheney should probably be brought up on war crimes charges. But that doesn't give you license to rape and kill innocent people.
Does anyone else see this guy as a classic example of not taking responsibility for his own actions? With all these cases coming to light, I wonder if this is an unfortunate consequence of military discipline and doing what you're told without question - you forget that *you* are the one ultimately responsible for your own actions, no matter what they are.
I'm just trying to imagine what the girl and her family must have felt, being killed in such a brutal fashion. So yes, Steven Green, I do think you are a monster.
Blogging has been in the back of my mind for a while. In that nagging, 'you haven't posted in x number of days' sort of way. But I usually can disregard that little voice with the rationalization that a) no one in the blogosphere is particularly devastated by this and b) attempting to reason with me like that is usually the best way to make sure I don't do what you want.
I don't have anything particularly amazing to post, either. Life's been relatively quiet. Work, knitting, friends, etc. No big deal. Well, technically, a lot of stuff has been going on. I finally figured out what I'm doing next year, and have a tentative plan (that I really need to make less tentative pretty soon... ) My general plan is to finish out my year, go to Thailand for a month and a CELTA, visit the States for a bit, and then come back to a new job. Which requires a few things: finding said new job (I'm thinking public school, depending on what I can find), how I'm flying to Thailand/US, how long I'm staying, what to do with the furball while I'm gone.
Other than that, been selling a few things here and there on Etsy, (www.kizunaonetsy.etsy.com), drawing occasionally, and mentally designing things. I finished a pair of gloves I started a bit back. They're alpaca and the weather is getting hot, so no way they're getting any use this year, but I'm totally breaking them out the moment it gets cooler...
I'm quite proud of them, despite that they took me longer than I wanted and the pattern was a pain in the ass. Also, I did make a few mistakes, but they're not huge. And I love the buttons. -shrugs- Oh well. Nothing like the 20 cm I knitted on the shirt I'm doing and then had to PULL OUT CAUSE IT WAS TWISTED. Yeah, I almost cried about that one. My dragon shawl is still coming along too, just taking it's time, cause, let's face it, it's a shawl and I'm doing it with two strands of crochet thread held together. At last measurement it was about 14 inches deep though, and the pattern says 48 inches. And I've got a shrug I started last night too. Normally I'm not a huge fan of shrugs, but I like my tank tops, and in Korea it's pretty much indecent exposure if your shoulders are showing. Granted, this shrug is going to be lace, but perhaps it will protect me a lil bit - +5 Defense against old Asian ladies.
And then there's my hair. The last time it was cut was when Kaylie did it - in August. So it was pretty long - down to the middle of my back. It was so awesome having hair I could *do something* with again. But like I said, it's getting hot. And my split ends were awful. And I shed more than my cat. So, here we go -
Maybe it's just cause I'm not having short hair (the last time it was this short was my freshman year when neechan and I cosplayed gay boys) but it's certainly fluffier than I remember. Like, it doesn't just flop, which is nice, but also a lil unnerving cause I'm not sure what to do with it. Also I think cause the last few times I have washed it I've gone straight to bed and I don't have a dryer, though Tim did recommend I get one. -shrugs- He was the one who went with me. I was thinking of just getting a trim, and he was like, "Let's cut it all!" So now our hair is the same length. Altho I think he can put his in more of a ponytail than I can, even a tiny one. Excuse to buy hair clips, yay! -grins-
Okay, it's midnight. and I think I want to work on my shawl some. or do some jewelry. or something. laters.
