Hi kids, I’m here in Bangkok. I miss the terrorism threat shenanigan completely. As in, my brother told me about it when I landed. Thank goodness I packed with many gallon-sized Ziplock bags. They may be come in handy. ;-D Bangkok is hot but not too bad. A lot like LA a few weeks ago. It finally rained last night. But the sky is constantly in the shade of light gray to dark gray. Not much of the sky to see in this rainy season. Mom is doing better than I thought. They switched one of her meds and suddenly...

Over in the Phillippines, a volcano is about to erupt. If it does, it’d send up ashes for my flight to fly around. *Update* Super Typhoon Saomai is making landfall around midnight in China, south of Shanghai. …This is going to make an interesting flight… Over in Bangkok, the weather forecast spells rain and thunderstorm all week and therefore we’ll be flying in the rain and thunders when I land. I’m getting on the plane in 6 hours. All of this had better blown over. Maybe I need to reinforce Bonine with valium. Or somebody please knock me out. Help...

Say hello to Gnarly Kitty, a voice of the new generation of Thai young women. Kitty posted a comment on my recent Thai-Blogs.com entry, and I’ve found our views to be exactly the same. And now, we found out we actually have the same beginning at Mater Dei! Talk about small world. She’s almost 10 years behind me, so technically when I left Mater Dei she was in kindergarten. Heh. Oh yeah. 10 years ago I was already saying what Kitty says now. That, my friend, is just how “modern” I was for my time. 😀 P.S. I can eat...

So, my body decided that it’s time to succumb to the cold that seems to have been nipping at me for the past week. With all the stress I’ve been under, I’m surprised that it took this long before I got sick. Saturday, we had a fantastic time down in San Diego with our friends Justin and Olaina. I set Olaina up with the blog and got her started on her art website somewhat. Justin has this weekend off from his medical internship, a rare occasion. They walked us through their little town and we had fabulous dinner. Sunday, I...

“Fantastic” is my favorite word of the moment. Fan-tastic. Fan-fucking-tastic! I. Love. It! Like Sebastian Bach said on Supergroup, “It just rolls off your tongue.” That, and “Thwack”. Thwack that tennis ball. Thwack him in the head. Give it a few thwacks. That sort of thing. And, I won a free lunch from Marcello’s today. Yey, me!...

I got home and Brandon came to pick me up and off we went to dinner and drinks with some friends at EJ Malloy’s in Long Beach. First there were James and Shane who played frisbee golf with Brandon earlier. Jim met them there. I had a plate of fish and chips, a beer, a second beer when Lupe got there, and split a brownie sundae with everyone when Paul turned up and Jim and James left. Brenda and Jon came in for a good last little bit of my beer and then we too left. But man, I needed...
