Melanie's Mostly Writing

We watched two movies at the weekend. First we watched Nobody 2 with Bob Odenkirk, Christopher Lloyd and Sharon Stone on Saturday. Then we watched The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson on Sunday. Maybe it’s just us but we were underwhelmed. Nobody 2 gave us a few chuckles but the plot was thin and The Naked Gun, for us, just did not live up to the hype. I don’t know if Spoofs are my thing because I didn’t find it funny. I remember laughing my head off at Dumb and Dumber years ago though so I do have a sense of humour. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood.

We went out for dinner on Sunday night. We went to eat samgyupsal (grilled pork belly). The restaurant was packed with diners, couples, families, and friends, and had a good atmosphere. The meat was delicious and I particularly enjoyed the grilled kimchi. I can’t eat kimchi often anymore as corona virus left me unable to tolerate spicy foods, but tonight the kimchi was mild enough for me to eat. It annoys me greatly that I can’t eat Indian, Thai, Mexican or Korean foods anymore. I used to love spicy foods.

    Today we went a drive to a local forest for a walk, and a look for chestnuts as they are in season now. It was beautiful, full of pines and chestnut trees, quiet and green. There was only one other couple there. I love the forest and fully believe it is good for your mind…

  • Of Sweetness and Superposition

    A few weeks ago, before the previous teachers left, we went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch together. I ordered chicken salad. The seasoning was off as the chicken was too salty. The thing that I couldn’t get over though was how sweet the cheese soup was. The bread and butter were sweet too. I have…

  • Of Retro and Remembering

    Today we had Retro Day at the school. I didn’t have any clothes from the past but I found a worn baseball cap, from San Francisco, that looked vintage. The kids dressed up. There was a photo zone and fashion parade. We made dalgona candy and ddakji, which people may know of now, due to…
