  The soup we had for dinner yesterday has a different name (in Korean), but looks identical to today’s soup. There’s no need for 2 types of kimchi. The fish was good, but the portions were small. | |
| Dinner | kimchi tuna & kimchi soup omelet dried seaweed & soy sauce |
Boring. Bare subsistence to stay alive and not much else, but I'm in jail so I shouldn't expect gourmet. As a birthday dinner though, terrible. | |
Happy Birthday to me.
Today is my birthday. A time of reflection. Let's see, what have I accomplished mid-life? Hmmmm.... not much, really. I'm sitting in a cell in a foreign jail. I have no money, job or home. My family is estranged, I'm divorced. When I sit down and look at the scales, I've had lots of experiences, but nothing to show for it. In my own defence, I had all the normal trappings of adulthood, but I got rid of it all so I could leave the (this) country, I just didn't so far as to actually leave the country, yet... Soon, though-- only 50 days to go...
My Birthday song (to the tune of Happy Birthday):
Happy Birthday to me.
I live in cell three.
My cake is a choco pie,
with rice & kimchi.
Mr. Kim gave me some choco pies for my birthday and I got a card from my mother, so it wasn't a total waste.
