Tales of A Drunken Co-Worker
One of my favourite co-workers, James, never fails to be entertaining. If he isn't slapping someone on the head with his...appendage, or listening to the most depressing Smiths song he can find (and that's pretty tough competition), or drinking makele (Korean alcoholic milky drink, truly revolting) then he's telling Korean pastors that he is a Satanist.
My favourite moment came on Tuesday night. Myself, Shaun, Colum, Janice and James went to see Mat the Alien and Cut Chemist (former J5 and Ozomatli DJ). We all got pretty wrecked on poju, which is a heady combination of Powerade - with most of the bottle emptied out - an entire bottle of soju and one Vitamin 500 energy drink which makes it turn a nuclear green colour. James also hit the vodka before warning us that vodka can send him quite mad.
We dismissed this comment out of hand and then later, really wished we hadn't. James got stocious, climbed up on stage when Cut Chemist came on, and performed a series of karate chop dance moves. I was out in the drinking area when I saw him, followed by Colum and then a rather large Korean bouncer who knew only two English words - 'Get out'.
The night ended with Colum physically throwing James into a taxi and James saying delightful things like 'You are dead to me' whilst all the while staring into my eyes much as Damien from the Omen might.
One of the DJs from the night, Mat the Alien, actually witnessed James' dramatic stage leap and took a photo which I would dearly love to get my mitts on. Oh, I would like to say that my life is not entirely based around drinking and partying, despite the slightly biased slant of my blog topics. Occasionally other things like shopping and sightseeing are done also.
