I'm the first to admit that relative to Koreans, I smell a bit less
"Korean" than, well, Koreans. Whenever I've not met KHK's standards
smellwise in the past -- which is often -- KHK has said in her cute
fa****on, "What smell?"
After numerous discussions about the fact that I'm not Korean and that
if I sweat even a little bit I might produce what we so delicately
refer to as "BO," I was finally able to jury rig for KHK some semblance
of a solution. After putting deodorant on, I poured as much Bulgari
colone on my body as possible while still leaving some in the bottle
for next time. This, of course, avoids the darker implication that
maybe my individual "funk" is what KHK is smelling and that my "funk"
is naturally worst than everyone else's. Don't go there mind, don't go
there mind..
Given that dynamic, I find myself writing about smell a lot. So I guess
it was invevitable that people involved in dealing with smell -- the
fine folks at Unilever [or 204.110.170.5 (inet02.unilever.com) to be
more exact] have been poking around my site. The plot gets
significantly thinner when I find out where they came from --
ConnectKorea.
Now, if they'd been searching for posts about smells or something else
more interesting, then I could take it as A Sign that I am about to
make it big as a writer and that KHK and I will soon be whisked away to
New York City on Advance Publication's dime where we'll be taken to my
waiting office somewhere near Si's.
As it stands, some dude from Unilever looked at ConnectKorea and
happened upon my site.
Sigh.
