And here I thought I'd seen it all. Everywhere you go, middle-of-the-night television is pretty dull. But I didn't think I'd ever see a game of go (the japanese game, with white and black stones) televised, and commentated. Awesome way to spend 20 minutes at 1 am!

Caveat: Leaving
The leaves are leaving the trees. I really should go out and take some pictures… they're quite beautiful.
I got lost on the purple line (Line 1) of the subway today. This is not something that happens to me often, but line 1 is a bit odd… it's really just the old commuter rail lines, grandfathered into the subway. As a consequence, there's a lot of branching of lines, and each direction goes by on multiple platforms. Anyway… I didn't mind getting lost, but it took me 3 hours to get from Gangnam to Jonggak.
Last note: I heard a radio bit this morning about a new sport that's being tried in Germany, called "chess-boxing." Competitors alternate rounds of boxing with rounds of speed chess. This is intriguing for all the wrong reasons.
