I drank too much the other day.
It wasn’t my fault. Me and husband were supposed to watch THE MARTIAN, but the stupid movie theater was closed for a special viewing of SPECTER (Damn you, Daniel Craig!)
If you think I’m being a total diva here (which I am), let me explain: Andy Weir, the guy who wrote The Martian, started of as an indie author. That alone means a lot to me. Also, I LOVED the book, and I was psyched to see the movie. So when that choice was taken from me by fucking SPECTER, I decided to go drinking.
Now here’s the thing: Zurich is expensive as fuck. So we had a few B-52 shots and then decided to head back home, where we could get super drunk for FREE.
Easy choice, really.
We took the train, and sat across from a random Korean guy. Throughout our journey I was babbling stuff, like who would win in a drinking match: hubby or me (he would, of course, but I’ll never admit it openly on the internet), and I also said that if we were dogs, I’d be a chihuahua and he’d be a German Shepherd. According to husband, we talked about a bunch of other stuff I don’t exactly remember because I had gulped two B-52s. That shit’ is real, people.
Anyway, the train arrives at random Korean guy’s stop, he gets up, shakes our hands and says, “You guys are very good, very good together. Great couple, god bless you.” And he leaves.
We never see random Koren guy again (thought this happened only three days ago).
So to my new friend: Sir, I do not know you, but you’re awesome.
Guys, this is the greatest stamp of approval a relationship could get. I was very proud of myself, but let’s face it, husband might have played a small part on that too.
Koreans are the experts on love! I read that on the internet so it must be true.
Like everything on the internet hehe
Drinking your sorrows away, then to have a Korean guy on the train to confirm the love between you and your husband? That’s life-affirming! Must’ve been the God of Love in disguise! 😀
OMG, you’re right! Awesome : D
God Bless random Korean guys … they rock 😀
They super duper rock!
Super cute approval! With love from Korea… 🙂
You guys rock!
Aaawww that’s like the sweetest thing everrr.. I love it when people show/say these tiny acts/words of kindness <3
Btw if my plans of The Martian were cancelled by frikkin Specter I'm sure I would've gulped down 50 shots of Mountain Dew (yeah it's my alcohol alternative).
Me too, it really made my day.
Random Korean Guy turns out to be North Korean Spy and now knows that western society is held together by B-52s. He goes back to Pyongyang, comes up with a fiendish plan to disrupt the supply of B-52s and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT!
And you were in Zurich, but got the train back home to America? I must be missing something here…
Loool I live in Zurich, the land of James Joyce.
OMG if they end our B-52s there will be no reason to live anymore.
I thought you lived in the US! Must have been fooled by the hat you wore in one of your old blog pictures.
That hat, sir, is Italian, thank you very much ; )
How strangely life- and love- affirming. And beautiful. If I could get a random Korean’s stamp of approval, who knows how far my life could go. Alas, I prefer Black Russians… who almost never affirm me.~DM
Loool!
Damn, what if I got the B-52s stamp of approval?!!? Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson, what if you and they’re all I need to make it? Black Russians are few and far between, not to mention temperamental at best and grumpy at worst anyway. Someone call them up quick! (I love that band, RIP Ricky & Paul)
