Mille and Buster I wanted to take some pictures of the cats to show Chris Murray, who sounds like he's a very serious cat person himself. I think he said he lives with 13 cats. Millie was a willing model as usual but it was harder getting a good shot of Buster. The good ones of him are from the next day. |

New Job I recently got a new job. After I returned from Canada, I lost my job very suddenly on August 31. It didn't take me to find a new job. Now I'm doing very similar work for a lot more money. They called me up when I was with the Chris Murray Combo in Insadong, and basically I had ten minutes to get to work. I told them no way and they got me to come in later. The new job is on the border between Anyang and Uiwang. There's a lot of new construction around here, but I haven't seen much yet. |

Karate Buster Buster was bored so he decided to open up a can of whup-ass. |

Chuseok Chuseok this year fell on a Sunday, so we only had one statutory weekday off. Then again, I was unemployed, so I wasn't angry in the least about this. We went to Jung's parents' home, then visited her sister's new apartment. |

Zoe I met up with Brendan and his gang in Itaewon for supper. Zoe was bored so I let her mess around with my camera a bit. It was getting dark so she didn't get that many shots. |

AIDS For a few days in my subway station, there were a few posters up about AIDS. These helpful posters mentioned some of the ways you can catch AIDS, carefully neglecting to mention the most important safety tip for stopping the spread of HIV. I'm not going to mention it here because it might upset the Christian faith. It's better to let people who give in to their temptations suffer for their sins rather than protect them anyway. |

Millie and Buster The first day after we got back, we picked up Millie and Buster from the cat hotel. Buster went willingly, but Millie put up a horrific fight, and got a chance to slap her two other roommates before leaving. Once we got them in the taxi she calmed down and he started crying. They went back to normal pretty quickly, although now when they're in a room on their own they get lonely and start crying. Also Millie seems a little extra mean toward Buster. |

Strays The stray cats seem to be dwindling in numbers these days. We haven't seen Adolf in weeks and one of the orange ones is missing too. Fortunately a lot more of the neighbours have taken an interest in leaving out food for these cats, and they seem to be well fed. Surprising, especially for Koreans who generally treat stray cats like vermin. |

Millie Millie and Buster haven't been having a good time lately due to the weather. All they do all day is lie on any solid surface they can to absorb their bodyheat. They'll be staying in an air-conditioned cat hotel very soon, so that will be better for them. Aside from the fact they'll have two more cat roommates. We've also been catching a lot of bugs lately. Yesterday Buster made friends with a ladybug, and by made friends with I mean mortally wounded. A few nights ago, they caught a 3cm-long yellow centipede that camouflaged on our floor. Also, I really need to vacuum under the couch. |

Mostly Cats The cats had a very lazy weekend, aside from the odd encounter with an insect. On Saturday, Jung and I went to a German microbrewery called Oktoberfest. It was good, but I still prefer the Castle Praha beer. |

Yatap All through the week, we had clear weather and bright sunsets. Of course I knew the rain would start again once the weekend arrived, so I made the most of it. |

Stray Cats in Daylight I got my camera up closer to the cats to take pictures of them on the roof. They were scared of the camera, but slowly got used to it. Of course it's too high for me to look over so they could just see the camera and my hand. They don't have the same model quality as Millie but they're trying. |

Non-Stray Cats Here are a few pictures of our own cats, who've been acting a little weird lately (as usual). Buster is very well-behaved these days, and Millie wakes us up in the morning asking for breakfast. |

Stray Cats It's been hard keeping track of the strays lately, as Adolf seems to have disappeared, and there are new kittens who weren't there before. I'm thoroughly confused. |

Hangang Park We recently found a shortcut to Hangang Park, which is not far from home, and Jung goes there on walks every day. It's not the nicest park, and lately due to the rains it's been muddy, but it stretches forever in both directions.

Hangang Park The week after, we went back during the day. It was still raining, but we wanted to see how close the river was to flooding. Jung had gone there the day before and it was over the fence, but now it was receding as the rains slowed. |

Stray Cats Here is a picture of the sixth baby kitten, who I saw for the first time after my camera broke. I haven't seen Adolf for a while, which has me a little worried, but Jung thinks she's seen him. I really can't remember as I haven't taken any pictures lately. |
July 12 2008
Window Cats Well, there have been a lot of exciting developments for the cats lately. We opened one new window for them, and then another. When I come back now, I have to look in this window or Millie might surprise me as I unlock the door. |
