Spent most of the late morning/early afternoon picking up books and a self-study Korean course at the library, tooling around Alexandria, eating lunch at Marino's, and deciding that Potomac Yards was way too crowded for me to be shopping there today. Maybe I'll go out later, but I don't really need anything...on the other hand, it's supposed to rain tomorrow, and carrying stuff back to the Sportage through the rain is seldom fun.

Among the books I picked up was Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan, which was recommended to me last fall by both [info]edwarddain and [info]nickiq. It's actually been getting most of my attention since I've been home, and is pretty awesome. Thanks, guys. Wish I'd picked it up sooner - it's that good!

Re: Korean

1. There's a lot of Koreans around here particularly in the restaurant business, and I like being able to chitchat with the waitresses.
2. I'm thinking of playing tourist over there sometime in the mid-to-distant future.
3. Korean girls are hot.
