Lemonade

For a number of reasons, the last week and half have been rough. I won't go into detail, but I will take a lesson from my wonderful, hilarious, and loving cousin Konrad, and do my best to put a little positivity back into the world instead. On that note, please see below for a short list of 5 things that have recently brought a smile to my face.

5) Louis C.K.
Lately I've come to appreciate the hilarious talents of Mr.Louis C.K., a crass, inappropriate, offensive and politically incorrect American comic, in case you aren't familiar. I highly recommend YouTube searching "Louis CK + Shameless" if you want to enjoy some high quality stand-up comedy that's sure to save you a few ab workouts at the gym this week.

4) Pizza School
Finally. I've been searching for a decent pizza joint for the past 5 months, last night I found it. Niki took me to some hole-in-the-wall place called 'Pizza School' (oh ya, the name left me with some doubts) about a 30 minute walk from my apartment. Turns out, it's awesome. I paid a meer 5 bucks for a delicious, authentic pizza, sans strange Korean toppings (like corn, hot dog, etc.) and imitation cheese that I usually find here. In case you ever find yourself roaming the streets of Haeundae with a craving, do yourself a favour and track down Pizza School. Order the Hot Chicken - it's the bomb.

3) Scholarships
Today my friend Tom got news that he's being awarded $120,000 in scholarship money to attend law school back home in the States next year. No one deserves it more.

2) Spring Weather
The last few months have been freakin freezing here (record lows for Busan, figures) but the Korean weather experts agree: warmer weather is just round the bend. Canadian or not, I will never enjoy being cold...it ties with 'nauseous' as my #1 least favourite sensation. I hope that everyone back home will soon be enjoying the same fate. If not, please forget I mentioned it.

1) New Horoscope Signs
Apparently the entire Zodiac calendar has been redesigned, and everyone's sign has changed? I heard this today. If that's true, I shall be eternally grateful that I'm not one of those people with their Zodiac sign tatooed on their body. For a few days back in high school, I was considering it.

Tomorrow's Friday everyone:) Love you all and I'm thinking of you...
