morning. Just had a little bit of coffee, trying  to journal again, read a bit of a book and now  

we are walking over to the CGV to check out Chimera, the Chimera? A little morning movie and yeah

it's just wonderful. It was like crazy weather  yesterday, like a summer rain but really cold  

but just like the amount of rain was very intense  so today everything is just fresh and clean and  

I'm just so...anyway. Got to get our ticket  and then I'll see you after the movie.

Hi welcome back to home - weird angle just  because I am cleaning up my closet. I still  

haven't like actually organized it properly. There  are just kind of piles, some of my winter clothes  

are still out, so I'm kind of just doing that. Let  me see, let me try and put you - is that better? Yeah

that's better. Okay but I'm having one of those summertime dilemmas where I have no reason to be  

outside and I have indoor things that I need to do, but it's just so beautiful out that I'm upset  

that I have to be inside, but here I am. The movie, Chimera, La Chimera - visually stunning, the only issue is  

as I think I'm going to say in the subtitles of  this video - I knew some of it was going to be in  

Italian, I was mentally prepared for that. I was  like got it, I can read subtitles. I've seen French  

films with Korean subtitles, before I've seen  Spanish language films etc. I was like got  

this, it's fine. Uh uh. They probably said a total of  maybe 20 words in English. The main actor Josh  

what's his name really surprised me - he speaks  Italian! Or at least he does in the film. So,  

visually stunning and I felt like I was following it for the most part but I could tell that even  

though I was technically understanding maybe like  75% of the words, I wasn't understanding the real  

message and then it just kind of popped into my head that I could leave the theater. I had just  

been talking to Nathan about a film where I was - I was in New York, I used to go to the IFC Center  

like every Saturday to see a film and I remember one time a man just got up and left. He was like

oh God and he just left the theater and I was  like that is so powerful and we should be able  

to like, even if a film is good, if it's just not  the right time...this was also, the movie was like  

eight bucks I think. I've been talking to a  couple a couple of my friends are like much  

more involved in the arts than I am and I kind of talk to them about how I feel especially at  

museums, a kind of pressure of like a pressure to  stand in front of a piece for a certain amount  

of time you know? To like try and understand it and then I get fatigue halfway through. Like you  

can't, there's no shame in like if something isn't clicking with you, just walk past it. And a lot of

my friends who are artists are like yeah that's,  that's like if you don't connect with something  

just move past it, don't force yourself to get  it. And so I was just kind of thinking about  

that as I was slowly more and more spacing out and then I couldn't get that thought out of my  

head so I continued to space out and the story took a turn and then I checked the clock and I

still had like an hour and 20 minutes left of the  film. I had been - it was like a two and a half hour  

maybe even more film so I had given it my  best shot, I had watched more than half of it  

and I left. There were only two other people  in theater. Yeah I never, I don't normally do that  

so that was like an interesting, an interesting  thing for me. But I left the theater - I had been  

kind of in the movie for long enough that  it just, the sounds, everything sounded more  

crisp. Like there was someone went right when I came out of the theater, someone walking behind

me was wearing boots and just like I was paying so much attention to the like clip clop of their  

feet and I felt like colors were more vivid. I  just really love film because every time I leave

the theater it takes me a while to revert back  to real life and I think that having the kind of  

mind of whatever film I had just watched helps me  look at the world in a slightly different way for  

however long it lasts. So that was quite fun. Again I recommend the film but it's an Italian  

so find the subtitles that work for you. But anyway  now I'm going to finish this project and then I'm

going to actually work on a book thing so I will  catch you probably in the evening. I will catch you  

later okay, so welcome to the video if I haven't  said that already and see you in a bit!

Hello, checking in. Saturday.  Hormonal acne. Puppy on the roof next to me barking.

Lots going on. Update - what has happened since I  last talked to you? This week is a week of seeing  

friends and just doing little things around the house. We're inching towards having our house fully  

set up. Yesterday I met up with  Susan, we just walked around, she came to see my

house - my first house guest! Very exciting. And this morning I installed - guys, rest in peace to morning  

person Cari. I'm nervous, tonight's going to be  our first night sleeping with them - I installed  

blackout curtains. Like we had dark gray curtains at our old place and they were pretty thick but  

these are like actually blackout curtains. Kurt  really needs darkness to sleep so we'll see  

but yeah they're these little gray guys in the  corner. They have like many many many layers  

and it is pitch black in here so I'll let you  know how that goes. And then what else? We just  

kind of enjoyed the weather honestly it's really nice out today so we just kind of walked around,  

got lunch, we're working on a project for Kurt's company so I was doing some filming for that. So

far so good in terms of the breeze. I closed the windows just for like noise sake but when we have

all these windows open, the breeze - I was laying  here, literally right here reading my book and  

it was just like oh, stunning. So very pleased. It's like 27/28 degrees today. We're doing good.  

Probably going to go out to dinner in  a little bit and going to take maybe a  

night walk. This month's cycle sucked so my  body and my skin and everything just has been  

really unhappy. I've been so lethargic and just unable to do basic things like going for a walk  

so I think I'm, I think I'm okay now and so I'm  going to go for a walk tonight hopefully. And  

so yeah the beginning of this video I feel like  was a little rocky just because I just couldn't  

function and sometimes life's like that, so it's okay. And I'm working on a book video where  

I think I mentioned this maybe even last week - I feel like I've been working on this forever - but  

I'm reading books that you guys recommended that  you think I would rate five stars. Lots of hits, a  

couple almost hits, I wouldn't say misses but like  almost hits. Currently reading one that is kind of  

based on Celtic mythology so that's been a lot of fun. Going to finish that hopefully before dinner.

I'm kind of filming for that as well. Anything else?  Monday we're cutting some of this off. It's just  

too long. I mean it looks okay I guess on camera  but in terms of of like living with it, my hair is  

really thick. This is also like just how it - I air  dry my hair so I really love the waviness of it,  

I like right here, right now, I like  how it looks. Walking around in summer? No.  

It also weighs a lot. When I'm in bed and  I like go to turn, I have to like move my  

hair so we're getting, we're just getting a  little trim - nothing drastic but yeah that - say

goodbye. So we're dealing with that on Monday  and anything else? Tomorrow is Sunday, who knows what  

we'll get up to. I'll see you then goodbye from me and my pimple, maybe it'll be gone by the next  

time we talk. One can dream. I'll see you.

There's  nothing wrong with acne! I'll see you guys in a bit.

Okay we are back happy with the length -

happy with the lightness. I asked him not  to thin it too much this time. We're pleased.

I went to a new salon which is always scary and the guy was super nice who cut my hair but he  

decided to start talking to me when he started blow drying my hair. And I don't know if this is

just I'm getting old or what but if there are like other noises around, it's kind of difficult for me  

to hear someone who's talking to me - especially if  they're like not facing me and they're speaking  

Korean. So I just kept being like I can't hear  you and I think he thought 'oh this girl doesn't  

speak Korean' so I was like, okay okay. So that was stressful but he was nice, I  

just couldn't hear him. So yeah the hair has  been cut and now I actually do have - oh also this

has been like for every salon that I've been to I've had this experience, of them, the stylist  

then asking you like 'oh what are you doing for the  rest of the day, like what's the occasion?' because  

especially at Gangnam, it's really common to go in to a salon to like just get a trim, a shampoo,

a blow dry - not even a haircut honestly, not even a trim - you can just get basically a wash and  

then some styling to go out on a date or just to like look good if you have an event like seeing  

friends. Literally it could be the tiniest  little thing and so he was asking me like  

oh you know, what are you doing for the rest  of the day? And I was just like going home...  

doing work on my couch. But I do actually have  a lot of work to do for not YouTube things so  

I would like to go out and do something  fun today. We'll see if I get anything done.  

And is that it? Summer can officially start now - I have shorter hair. It feels good. So okay I will  

catch you...also Susan gave me, I have my own  little rosemary plant, I have my other non-  

killable whatever that is called by the TV but  yeah our first house plants in the new house!

Why is this so sad?

Oh my god.

His eyes!

Hello from Mangwon. Good morning. We are  hitting a coffee shop that's been on my list  

for forever mainly because there's a dog and  it's a beautiful day and why not. I've got a  

book to read...shut up oh there's this really really  puffy dog that's coming so I'll catch you at the cafe

Okay sorry anyway yeah, we're literally doing  

nothing other than reading and  writing and looking at dogs.

Hello, welcome back to Beans  and Flour. I keep calling it  

other things, I keep saying it's  called like Beans and Friends,

or anyway, it's Beans and Flour. No one but me out  here on the terrace, unbelievable. I am drinking  

peppermint - it's like peppermint orange blossom white tea, iced. Incredible. I was thinking of taking  

you to a different tea house that I went to with one of my friends last week but I just kind of  

wanted to be outside so I definitely, I'll link it  down below but I definitely recommend Magpie and  

Tiger. They have one in Gangnam but this one is next to Seongsu station and stunning. If you want to

try a lot of different like traditional Korean  teas, all but I think two of them are from  

Korea. And gorgeous, it's up on like the fifth floor,  kind of hidden. Just take the elevator, it looks  

like a clothing store but take the elevator  up to the fifth floor - stunning. I was there on  

like a rainy day, really cool. But nothing quite  beats a patio like this and it's just - there are  

butterflies, my lilacs are totally gone so I'm  very happy that I could enjoy them while I did.

But yeah I'm just finishing up a book, drinking my tea, I'm going to head home soon because I just got  

a couple packages. I finally bought frames for my posters and I bought poster hanging materials

so I can finally get some artwork up on our walls. Yeah I had a very delicious spicy mayo salmon  

bowl from Da Poke which is always delicious,  and yeah just having a wonderful wonderful  

day. What even is today? Tuesday. So I'll catch you guys at home with my posters.

Okay see you then!

Okay unclear where that will be hung.  Ignore the ripples, just ignore them,  

fixing that later. Too sleepy, fan  is on, going to finish reading my book.

Okay, hello. It is obviously night time  now and I'm just exporting my book video that  

I've been working on for I feel like a month.  That's finally done and I'm going going to wrap  

up the video here. I'm meeting up with my friend Evelyn tomorrow and we're going to be kind  

of running around so I don't think I'm going  to be filming but yeah this was a kind of  

interesting week. We're officially on our third  week in this apartment, we've had three weekends

here so I feel like I'm finally settled in and  like, understanding the neighborhood and I've got  

a little bit of a routine setup. But I'm also  finding that I'm trying to do as many things  

like outdoor things as possible before summer comes so I'm - a huge part of me wants to stay

home but another part of me is like no we  got to go, we got to do all these things.  

I'm kind of at war with myself but that's okay  and I still had a really lovely week and I'm  

happy to have shared it with you. Next week I just book tickets to go on a little adventure  

that might end in disaster. Literally might end with me stranded in the mountains. So if you're  

interested in that kind of thing, it's going to  turn into like a survival show. That will be  

next week - thoughts and prayers are accepted but yeah so I will, I will catch you guys  

next time. I feel like this was a very random  week talking about me being able to walk out  

of a film and then I don't even know what else I talk to you guys about in this video, my acne?  

Whatever. Yeah I just thank thanks for sticking around always and I will catch you guys wherever  

I end up next week. Yeah I'm about to start  reading Blood Over Bright Haven. I have  

heard great things so if I drop off the face  of the Earth I'm either - Kurt's playing FIFA - I'm  

either lost in a book or lost in the mountains.  We'll see. I'm going to get ready for bed and  

and I'll see you next Thursday okay? Lots of  green in our future, if you ever find the footage.

Lots of mountains, lots of green that's what  we're hoping for see you next week bye!
