When your cell phone and you just don't know how to communicate

I received a cell phone yesterday. It is called a Show cell phone (guess that's the brand). Looks nice. Makes lots of nice little music sounds. It rang once and it was my boss on it. We could speak. Well, kind of. He doesn't speak English well, and I still need a lot of work with my Korean.

As for my cell phone, well, he means well. The little guy chimes up when he should and he makes all sorts of little cute little sounds and images to tell me he's doing something. Not sure what yet, but it's something.

Since last night, I have received four text messages. In Korean. Don't know who they're from, what they say, or really even what to do with them. So this has me concerned. Is the Korean equivalent of Commissioner Gordon trying to contact me to tell me that the Joker has run amok in Seoul, South Korean, and I can't stop him because I don't understand the message? Did the Joker kill Robin, or is he holding him hostage? Or is it Robin calling me asking me to bring back a carton of milk to the batcave? FYI, where the hell is the batcave? I'm having a hard enough time trying to figure out how to walk a straight line from my apartment to the school where I teach.

So, my cell phone is continuing to make little cute sounds, which might also mean it is warning of danger that I can't understand. So, if the Joker comes through your town, or Braniac destroys your local drinking establishment, I apologize for not being there to save the day. I got the message, but I just haven't been able to translate it yet.
