Mosquitoes etc

If there is one thing I dislike about Korea, it is the generous helping of mosquitoes. In an attempt to keep my room free of them I have to keep my windows closed all the time. The low buzzing that they produce is just on the edge of audible noise, which creates an exaggerated irritation; I am never quite sure if I can hear them or am imagining them flying around my room. It generates the 'ants in your pants' feeling where you imagine itchiness all over and can't sleep. I wish they'd all go to the devil.

The BBC has just reported that North Korea have claimed their first Nuclear Weapon test. That'll heat things up nicely for my visit to the DMZ!

Have you seen the first scene of `A Scanner Darkly'? There's a guy constantly trying to clear bugs out of his hair and clothes, but it turns out that they're just part of a drug-induced hallucination.

Just a thought.

DMZ?

Also, is Ban Ki-moon going to become the next Secretary-General?

It's all going on in Korea, isn't it?

Nope, I haven't seen A Scanner Darkly (an odd title).

Korea is where it's at, for sure.

`A Scanner Darkly' is worth seeing. The title is a Philip K Dickification of a biblical quotation.

DId you go to the DMZ yet?
