Amanda Takes Off...

Last night while Good Man and I were waiting to meet Lab Guy last night, three tall mimes were walking around. I got photos of two of them. As soon as they realized I was taking pictures, they started hamming it up for me. I had to shoot quickly, and I had the 50mm (turned 75mm) lens on, so I couldn't compose some shots exactly as I wanted to. Still, I'm pretty pleased.

"Me?"

"Me? Me?"

Take a Picture of Me!

The two mimes walked over to Good Man and said in falsetto voices, "Picture, picture!" in English. Good Man didn't look too comfortable, and I was trying to shoot photos quickly. I think the mimes may have been resting some of their weight on his shoulders.

Today is Pepero Day. As we know, Korea has a "romantic holiday" on the 14th of every month. Pepero sticks are thin bread sticks covered in chocolate. Legend has it that in the mid-90s some middle school girls in Busan exchanged Pepero sticks in this day because the sticks look like 1s (11/11) and they wanted to grow up to be "tall and slender like a Pepero stick." Sounds like marketing from Lotte to me.

In any case, Pepero sticks (and all the off-brand copies) are yummy and I told Good Man I wanted to "celebrate" this day. Friday I got two boxes at work. One from a student, which I promptly ate, and one from my Mary Kay lady. (Yes, I have a Mary Kay lady, quit laughing.) Yesterday Good Man showed up with two more boxes. So we ate choco on chocolate, Boy Meets Girl banana, and choco almond Peperos.

At the end of the Pepero table there was a vat of fish cake sticks but nobody manning the vat, so I managed to get some photos.
