And the Oscar goes to...

Another weekend has come and gone. Spent the entire weekend in Daejeon, which was nice; it feels like we've been on the move these past few weekends so it was great to be able to just relax and hang out with no real plans.

We had a new teacher arrive at our school last week, Tory from Tennessee, so we took her out on Thursday and Friday night to show her around and she seems to be settling in well.

I spent Saturday wandering around and doing some cloth shopping because the weather is warming up here and I am seriously lacking in in-between season clothing. Found a few shirts but nothing special. I can't wait to be home and raid stores like Smart Set and Jacob Connexion where all clothes fit properly and the sleeves don't cut off two inches too short!

Ended up playing poker on Saturday night. The people we play with on Tuesday nights also have a routine Saturday night game and normally we skip it but being that there was nothing special going on anywhere else we decided to feed our addiction . We stayed out until about 4:30 and just as we were getting back to our neighbourhood we ran into Richard and Tory coming home from their night out. Before we had left for the night Trey had seen a bunch of furniture outside of his apartment from a family that had moved, so he convinced Richard and I to help him move it into his place. Two couches, four chairs, and four flights of stairs later we had all the stuff moved in. Then we spent another few hours moving his aparment around and making it look like a real apartment, instead of the typical foreigner's apartment, which usually consists of a bed, a desk and a lot of empty space. As the sun was coming up I managed to get some sleep and missed most of Sunday morning.

In celebration of the Oscars Trey, Tom, Richard and I had planned a day of movie watching so we would know a little about some of the movies that have been nominated. I spent the past week downloading movies so we had all 5 of the best pictures nominations. Unfortunately due to my trust in pirated movies, I didn't check any of them after they had finished downloading, so Blood Diamond was in French, Notes on A Scandal was a terrible copy, and Babel just didn't work. We did watch The Queen, which was fantastic, Little Miss Sunshine, which I hope wins the best picture, and The Departed, which I also enjoyed but fell asleep through because by the time we got to watching it, it was well into the middle of the night.

Tonight we are hoping to catch the Oscars on TV here, we have seen the commercials advertising it, but are unsure of the time although it should be in the evening sometime, so hopefully we can catch some of it.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
