Wii makes me lazy about blogging...

( 봉은사 )

I recently went to Yongsan and purchased a Nintendo Wii. If you know me at all, you know that I love zelda. It just felt wrong that I had yet to play the most recent game, Skyward Sword. I am pleased to say that I am about halfway through the game, and it is effin sweet. On top of that, I had the guys at the sketchy underground mart hack the crap out of it, and it came equipped with a 320 gig hard drive filled with games. It has been keeping me very busy, so today's post will be a photo and caption only post.

Sadly, this will be the last time I'll be Bishi Bashin' with Amarisse for quite some time. She has headed back to the states to persue other things. She will be greatly missed.

New Year's Eve in Hongdae

( So it begins )

New Year's Eve - Part 1
[ 12/31/2011 @ Bricx in 홍대 (Hongdae) ]

So, it's that time of year again. Another year gone, another year has begun. I spent the evening with a wonderful bunch of friends out in my favorite area of Seoul, Hongdae. We headed in early in the evening and pretty much b-lined straight to the action. Upon arrival at the station, we made haste to Bricx. I had never been there, but it's a semi-upscale underground bar with black lights and zebra print seats. All of the waiters and waitresses were dressed to the nines, and the place had a classy feel to it. The table purchased a total of three bottles of Absolut and proceeded to get pretty slippy at the first establishment. I did not partake in this particular endeavor and stuck with beer with a single shot of whisky. I wanted to last the night. The fact that I don't care for vodka is besides the point.

New Year's Eve - Part 2

[ 12/31/2011 ~ 01/01/2012 @ Freebird in 홍대 (Hongdae) ]

After Bricx, we headed down to Freebird for Tommy's show. I actually never caught the name of his band, but they did a nice job. We all did a fair amount of dancing and rang in the new year on the dance floor. At some point, Paul fell into a table and broke a glass with his arm. He spent the following ten minutes nursing a bleeding wound. Paul brings the fun! Seriously.

(heavenly-looking keyboard player )

( the band )

( Justin was loving it. )

( What did you do?!?! )

( Justin just looks like he was having more fun than everyone else... )

( still. )

( Paul & Kevin, getting a little closer )

( I'm TIMMMMMMMM )

( Told you it was fun. )

( Harry managed to keep cool the whole night. )

( See. Still cool. )

New Year's Eve - Part 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, ?

[ 01/01/2012 @ bar, bar, club, etc. in 홍대 (Hongdae) ]

We drank at someplace on a roof, ate chicken, maybe went to Gogos, went to another bar, got lost hunting for a cave bar, found the cave bar, ate KFC, and went home at 6ish, I think.
