Checking In

It's been a few days since I posted so I thought I'd just let give a quick update. First and Foremost! I updated a video to youtube that you should ALL go to right now and see. I did two versions of the song, one without autotune and one with autotune and some drums that I think is just hilarious. Zoey, I figure you'll enjoy it the most. Everything is played by me, and I layered: three vocal tracks, two guitar tracks, one (fake, computer synthesized) drum track and a fiddle track. Had a lot of fun with it, took me forever to track down the the video too. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25N8Esg5r-Q


Since I'm talking about videos uploaded to youtube I thought you guys might all get a kick out of this. I tried to upload it to youtube around halloween time but SONY would not approve the soundtrack and so youtube wouldn't accept it. (Apparently that's how these things work.) It's a little graphic but come on that is funny stuff. 

Other than that I've got no word at all. Counting down the days until Conor gets here, just relaxing, trying to eat well, and succeeding for the most part. The Kite runner is a pretty good book, it's no Bridge of Birds though, read that if you have to pick between the two.

I recently shaved my beard and grabbed a moustache, the kids hate it. Tylor says I look like an out of work porn star, but I don't know why the hell I look out of work at all. 

Must Run, next post will probably be when Conor gets here. I'm not doing anything this weekend, trying to spend as little as possible til next pay. Hoping to start sending everything I get home as soon as I get it now, I'll let you know how that goes. 

Jason.

Happy Birthday Zoey!

Happy Birthday Zoey, sorry I don't have a better present for you, but please accept this joke as my gift:

What does a clam do on his birthday?

He shellabrates!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHhahaahah. Good one Jason.

Seriously though, have a great birthday and a great year. I may miss most of it, but eventually I'll be back in action.

Updates:

School is running along smoothly, we got a few new Korean gals working for us and one of the guys recently left, but that hardly changes things for me so basically life is moving along on schedule. Mr. Conor Perry is showing up on the 15th of December with his girlfriend, and he'll be with us for a whole 3 weeks I believe, which means we'll be having fun. Lots of sights to take him to see. I haven't seen half of them myself so I'm looking forward to his arrival. 

SPD Contest

ECC had a special event at night called a SPD contest (Speech, Presentation, Debate) where we had to dress up and parents came to watch their kids give speeches and the like. I was chosen to be the English MC, which, since none of the parents spoke any English, turned into me announcing a kids name and then passing the mic to a Korean teacher who spoke for a minute and a half about them. It would've been fine but it was hot as balls in the room, and the whole thing took about 4 hours. I think our director thought it was a great success, but I thought the whole thing was a little strange. I would not have wanted to be a parent at the event, to go and watch my kid (and then a whole SLEW of other people's kids) speak a language I couldn't understand all night. Oh well. It might the boss happy, and it was pretty entertaining at times. PICTURES!    

Like I said we had to dress up, but I didn't get any pictures of myself, mostly because the parents probably would've thought it was weird to see me posing for the camera while their kids are up speaking.

For now, that's about it. Just going through the weeks here. Got mom's package in the mail today, I'll try to call but she won't be home, as per the norm. Thanks a bunch mom. I opened it up but didn't open up the wrapped things yet. I assume that was your plan. We'll see how long that lasts though, but I'll at least get hold of you before I do. The PJs are much appreciated.

Alright. I'm out again, enjoy your cold Canadian weather folks, although it ain't too warm here either, right now its 10pm and 4 degrees. We had flurries the other day, (supposedly, I was inside.) the kids were excited. 

Talk soon. 

Jason.
