Well, new info about Spa Guy which may complicate getting together for a visit. Apparently, he has his 70 year old older sister living with him. He says this was the impetus to move to where he lives now (from his one bedroom loft apartment to a less expensive area where he bought a two bedroom place). He says he's not her caregiver but mentioned her going back to LA for doctors visits once a month so doesn't sound like she's in the best of health either. He did suggest that I might be able to time a visit with when she is gone but who knows if that will fit into my work schedule. I would like to see him but we would both like privacy for that, especially the first time seeing each other after so long.
Well, the next month is busy anyway with holidays and things with my kids and friends, so he may have to wait until the new year anyway.
Meanwhile - bought the CD with that Rain song Switch to Me from the video - yet another CD that comes with a hilarious amount of fan swag. For one CD (an EP at that!) I get a poster of Rain with his shirt off, a jigsaw puzzle (because the album is titled Pieces), 5x7 photo cards with the song lyrics on the back, two wallet sized photos, a Covid mask with his name on it (this album came out in the end of 2020 I think) and a sticker! I mean, one CD comes with enough swag to build a veritable shrine to the artist. I can only IMAGINE what the bedrooms of teenage Korean girls look like. And there's no option to just buy the CD without all the swag.
My Korean language study is coming along, I can read a few dozen words and I am recognizing more words when I am watching my k-dramas. In the current one the word "friend" comes up very often and I know that one!
