Sweating like a hog all day today. The weather's jumped up to 80 today, will rise to 85 Monday, and then go back down to 65 on Thursday. Only in SF...

So I've been back to watching my Asian TV shows, started getting sentimental on this Korean show called "We Got Married," where Korean stars are paired together and live out their day as if they were a real couple.

One specific episode I saw tonight involved the guy "purposefully" forgetting his wife's birthday. He continues to make her feel bad throughout the day, by not helping her pack their belongings-they were moving to a new house- by dragging her all over the place at night, trying to find the right place for her to eat. He also took her to visit the old place where he used to play piano, even though she didn't feel like it. Once she started playing a few keys, he wanted to leave to get dinner, so she had to go as well. But he planted his cell phone, leaving it in the studio, so that once they were out walking a while, he made her start calling his phone to find out where it is.

She finally discovered where it was when someone answered on the other end, and the "husband" asked her to go up to the piano studio to pick it up for him. Once she returned, she found a pianist playing the Happy Birthday song for her. The guy turned out to be Yuhki Kuramoto, a pianist whose songs she played when she was learning the piano back in middle school. Afterwards, he played Lake Louise for her, with her crying throughout most of the performance.

That was a good birthday gift idea. Why can't people be creative like that, aside from the money issues? Their relationships, too, appealed to me in a way opposite to most couples I know.

Blegh, when did I become soft? Time to distract you with pictures.
