for a friend's birthday this past weekend, there was a soirée that involved an 80's theme. now, please be aware that many of the people we teach with were born in the *late* 1980's. like seriously, when speaking of such bands as WHAM!, i have been asked, quite often, what's that? was that a band or something. people. puhlease! at any rate, jim and i got in some wacky get-ups and headed to the party, him in a tan shirt a la Crocodile Dundee complete with sideways tie and black tuxedo jacket and jeans. Me in a more 80's punk them with one hell of a classic t-shirt found that day and my oh-so-crazy purple velvet platform boots. yes! purple! velvet! platform!
we played some silly drinking games at the apartment and then headed out to the noraebang (korean karaoke room) to belt out some tunes. there must have been about 10 of us. we were rather ridiculous. but i woulda made my people proud. such hits as "livin' on a prayer," "what's love got to do with it," and "buttercup." were sung loud and proud. and just as we finished, i pulled off what is sure to be one of the greatest feats a white girl from arizona has ever achieved in aa korean noraebang: i sand an ENTIRE song in Korean. i read the damn song off the teleprompter AND i somehow also managed to stay on key. i have 100% no idea how this is possible. except for the fact that i ROCK! i can read AND sing in KOREAN people. and there's video to prove it. though you'll have to wait for that until later. i haven't gotten my hands on it yet. at any rate, enjoy the silly pics of the evening's debauchery. please note the caption on my shirt: "it's myself camera love." AND the very Korean shades that Jim found...
