As I often do on Sundays, I let my television run. It’s just Korean basic cable, as far as I know – I don’t pay anything for it, so it must be included in my building services fee, which includes heat and water and electricity. My television is an ancient, CRT TV, that was abandoned by the previous tenant in my previous apartment. But it’s OK.
I surf around the channels, kind of randomly. Yesterday I caught a rather strange movie, entitled 초능력자 [choneungryeokja]. It always intrigues me when Korean-made movies feature foreign actors in major roles, speaking Korean as if it were par for the course. It makes me feel optimistic about Korean culture making its way confidently in our cosmopolitan world. This movie itself was quite strange, though. As usual, when mentioning movies, I won’t try to summarize it – there are better summaries available elsewhere. But anyway I recommend it.

Caveat: Englyn #82
(Poem #189 on new numbering scheme)
White, red, black, and pale: masses plunging among the grasses. Hooves pound. There are four horses. You see them? Now watch them join forces.
