Can Ibuproefen fix that?

I can describe my day very simply: my pants are held together by safety pins and I had pig intestines for lunch. The next logical thing is: can ibuproefen fix that? It seems like everytime I think I wrap my head around Korea, BAM! Out comes something new, exciting, and most definitely alarming. How did this come to be you may ask? Well let me tell you...

For lunch today I looked down at this gelatinous, black, cylindrical mass with spicy red sauce on top. I tilted my head left, then right, hoping for some inspiration, since none came I chowed down. It tasted like a jello, rice noodles, spicy bean curd combination, so not bad overall. I ate a few more bites and decided I wasn't the biggest fan but it's not like I was eating intestine or anything so no problems. After lunch I asked my kids what we ate; this is turning into a tradition of mine because they rarely know how to say simple english words like "soup" and "salad", they responded with "pig intestine!!" I turned sheet white, I felt my stomach roll a bit, my temples pounded, I took a deep deep breath, bit back the bile and continued onward. Awesome.

Remember a couple of days ago when I ripped my pant seam open in front of some of my girls?? Well this morning it was relatively cool so I didn't feel overly inspired to put on a skirt, so I opted for slacks, except that I only own one pair of slacks, and they have a hole in the crotch. So, in the manner of frugality (and lack of sewing equipment) I took two safety pins and jimmy-rigged my pants into a modicum of "back together." Thankfully i'm the only one that knows my dirt little secret.

Anyeong!
