I have lost all sense of time. I’m tired. But I’m also wired because I’ve been inside too long. I wanted to go to the store today but it was pouring rain so I figured I’ll go another day. But it seems like we’re on the verge of a lockdown here. The mayor has closed schools until April 20th. I think it’s only a matter of time before we’re ordered to stay in. I can’t decide whether to stay here at my place where I’m more comfortable or to go home to my mother and potentially carry something back to her.
But on the bright side, my boss was like “You can finally work on that massive appeal I gave you, you know, the one with 10k+ pages in the record!” So I guess at least I’ll be busy for the rest of the month. I’m never gonna get that break I wanted. Oh well, at least it’s better than nothing.
I don’t really know what else to say. I hope you are all staying healthy and safe, and that you have access to the things you need. I complain, but I’m honestly so grateful that I am comfortable and have a roof over my head, and access to food and necessities. This is such a strange moment to be living through.
Today I’m posting a song by Every Single Day, apropos of nothing. I first discovered Every Single Day when I watched Pasta. (I also discovered Gong Hyo-jin from that drama, so lots of good memories.) I love Every Single Day and their OSTs are always some of the most memorable, not just because they are good but because they always serve to underscore whatever drama its in subtly. I feel like the music they create fits in with real life – it’s not grandiose or overbearing, but it captures the mood perfectly.
I chose this song because I love how quiet and contemplative it is, but it builds to something grander before quieting down again. I also chose it because this was one of four great songs they contributed to the OST for a great and totally underrated drama, Miss Korea. I would highly recommend it if any of you are stuck inside and want a quiet little drama with a feel-good story. It’s surprisingly feminist and the women take center stage in a lot of ways. It doesn’t seem like it would be, but I’d probably qualify it as slice-of-life.
Just wanted to say I am so glad someone else noticed the really nice Miss Korea OST, not only the songs done by Every Single Day, but also Hero. Have you ever heard the main track for Golden Time, also by Every Single Day? I remember liking it very much also.

I think so? I almost always listed to Every Single Day OSTs even if I’m not watching the drama.
