After months of unbearable heat and annoying downpours, it suddenly turned cold. It feels like we should remove spring and autumn from our list of seasons and create a new term for the two-season year. ‘Two-seasons’ feels weird, and ‘dual-seasons’ sounds like a curse. Even if I suggest it, no one would care, but here I am, pondering alone. 🌦

This week was filled with drinking events. For many, it’s routine, but for me, it was like a Halloween week of partying. 🎃 Every evening, I was seriously into it.
I’m drained after social gatherings, a proud introvert (I). So, unless it’s special, I usually drink with a few close friends. Funny enough, I talk a lot at these events (or so they say). Maybe that’s why some see me as an extroverted (E) person. But I don’t really know why I do it, until I heard Jang Do-yeon on Cho Hyun-ah’s YouTube clip, and it clicked:
“I’m so introverted but do you know why I do this? Because I find myself hilarious. I just can’t help but do this.”
Honestly, I think I’m pretty funny too. 😂
“So that’s why I did it.”
Or maybe not…

During a meeting with a friend underground, I got an alert on my watch from my phone left on the 20th floor. How can Bluetooth reach that far? But she seriously showed me her watch. 🤨 I asked sharply if it was the cellular version, but, nope, just WiFi.
Days later, I forgot about it until I was at a nearby café, listening to music, and left my phone on the table to visit the restroom. Remembering that day, I hoped for the same magic, but the music cut off before I even reached the restroom. And returning, it didn’t auto-connect. (Might be a Sony headphones thing.) I realized I was wearing my watch but didn’t think to check it. Too lazy to try again.

I’m reading ‘Picture Book Parenting’. It’s subtitled ‘Reading Picture Books to Understand Developmental Psychology for Ages 1-7’. I borrowed it from the local library to help with an app for word cards or a storybook platform for kids. But it’s so interesting that I’m lost in reading, ignoring the app plans. 📚
About the relationship between text and illustrations in picture books: there’s a ‘corresponding relationship’ where both stories align, an ‘interactive relationship’ where text and pictures complement each other, and a ‘refractive relationship’ where they tell conflicting stories. Right after this, related picture books are introduced. Can kids really get this?
[Rosie’s Walk] isn’t fun without visual literacy to read picture text. The text and pictures tell entirely different stories, creating tension and humor through their clash. Children who get this will be eager to warn Rosie about the fox. That’s the fun of picture books!
But it feels like no one will notice. The picture books I casually open at the bookstore always seemed odd for a reason.

After swapping the pen refill, I realized my notebook was almost out too. Went to Arc & Book at Lotte World Tower for the same type, but got distracted by other notebooks and bought six or seven. 📚 Once home, laying them on my desk, I wanted to try them all, but I use one notebook for a year (no writing tasks these days). Feeling the urgency, I opened one and picked up a pen only to write my address three times. It’s probably the most written thing in the past five years. If I didn’t have a home, I’d be down every time I opened a notebook…

The new pen refill I got wasn’t working right. About two weeks ago, I went to Kyobo Bookstore, where I bought it, to get it replaced. I still vividly remember the staff using five cotton swabs to clean out the remnants of the old burst refill.
“It might have burst from the pressure difference on a plane. We see this often.”
After such meticulous care, I can’t say the new refill is bad. The service was above and beyond, making me hesitate to complain. I checked Coupang and found the price was half, with next-day delivery and better ink flow. Amidst the convenience of the contactless world, I worried about that staff’s job security overlapping with my conscience.

A few days ago, while cruising down the main road on my bike, a car shot out from an alley and slammed into my side. My bike flew, and I was airborne before crashing to the ground. 🚴💥 The folks around called 911, and I found myself in an ambulance headed to Asan Hospital’s ER. After full-body X-rays and blood tests, I realized what was toughest wasn’t the tests, but being wheeled around on a gurney (I get major motion sickness). The scrape on my hand from the fall hurt the most, yet the ER staff barely glanced at it. A nurse showed up only as I was about to leave, pouring disinfectant and scrubbing the wound with gauze like it was nothing. I couldn’t even scream, just wide-eyed at the pain.
“Wow, your eyes are big!”
Actually, it was just the shock. My eyes aren’t that big. But the next day, every part of my body started hurting like never before. Folks, when they say accidents hurt more the next day, they aren’t kidding.
