Korean Oprah

I am not a morning person.

This is what I've discovered this week while Lorne has stayed with me while my parent's are gone. He wakes up in the morning ready to get on with his day. I wake up in the morning ready to go back to bed. Or at least see how Katie Couric's day is going for a half hour. Can't start off my day without a good dose of Katie and Matt.

Yet maybe if I didn't struggle with damn insomnia I would be chipper in the morning too. Who's ready to get on with their day if they haven't slept yet? Only drug addicts and rockstars, really, and I'm not either (unless you count my crippling addiction to Oprah).

Do you think they get new episodes of Oprah in Korea? This, sadly, is a concern of mine since I've gotten this teaching job in Korea. See, I'm going to be there awhile - I could miss some very big episodes. What if Brad Pitt comes on to do a huge exclusive, explaining what happened between him and Jen and how he and Angelina are moving on? A few continents can't stop me from missing that.

On the brightside, if Oprah's in Korean, it would be good incentive for learning the language. You know, other than communicating with people and getting through daily life.

I really need to leave this town.


Word of the day: pedantic. Insisting on strict observance of rules and details in presenting knowledge. I hope I'm more pedantic than usual while processing my grad school applications.
