aaaaaah. so good to be home and getting back up to speed. still catching up on emails and phone calls, so excuse the brevity/randomness of this thing. saw miz sunbun last night, and tho I'm sad at her imminent departure, it was good to hang out. she too is leaving for the least coast. time to make friends from warmer places... nah, it was really nice to see her, and miz h (whose hair matches her bicycle! -- how cool is that?).

while visiting the lee's, met up with my first chindogeh, and it might be love. not an easy dog, as they seem (from my one experience) smart, and tend to think of themselves as the alpha dog, but a good companion for active adults. plus, it's that whole internal/cultural exploration thing I'm on.

in retrospect, had a good trip (as in, "it hurts, but it's a good hurt..."). watched my sis receive props for a bit of really hard work, and got a glimpse of her life as an adult (or close approximation thereof). family difficulties proved to be fairly instructive, thanks to the prodding and support by one Mrs. Lee -- a good friend of my mom, and ahead of most of the older koreans I know in her willingness to accept my trying and ungrateful generation. also, amazingly, she looks younger everytime I see her. didn't have time to look for a dorian gray type portrait in her house, but I imagine it's a mix of taking good care and skilled use of beauty products (alas, I'm doomed on both fronts).

my mother seemed more exhausted, but she and my dad have had a bit of a hard few months, so I'm hoping that she finds some ease and is able to accept her ungrateful children as part of life's lessons. and my dad? I dunno. gonna try and take what lucy a. williams, one of chrissy's professors, said to heart. something about not clinging to imagined (or real) grievances, not holding onto anger as a talisman -- as they will consume and destroy you, preventing you from creating real and transformative changes.

so i guess it's one of those things that's good, but not necessarily fun. life gets more complex these days, rather than simpler. I always thought that life was simpler with less, what a crock of shit that is, eh?
