I had a melancholy weekend. I guess I'm feeling depressed about what's happening with work. I won't dwell on it here… suffice to say it interfered with my ability to enjoy my weekend.
I spend a lot of time messing with my computer – trying to get my linux install working correctly again, after having hosed it a week or so ago by trying to upgrade to the allegedly latest and greatest ubuntu. I'm still not happy with it. I'm spending way too much time logged in using Windows Vista – hmm, maybe that's why I feel depressed, as that's the sort of operating system that could depress anyone.
I've downloaded and watched a lot of Korean dramas and TV serials lately. Trying to improve my listening skills, while watching the subtitles. From a language standpoint, it's so discouraging.
One series I got kind of hooked on was 1%의 어떤것 (translated idiomatically as "one percent of anything"), basically an extended romantic comedy-drama, with weird subtexts around issues of contract-driven relationships vis-a-vis traditional and western/romantic notions of marriage, as well as some unsettling sidelong glances at the fact of men acting violent against women. But it was funny, most of the lead characters were entertaining and reasonably plausible. It was mindless avoidance of the things that are bothering me.
