Bits and snippets vverheard on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles, where the immigration march tomorrow is going to vastly affect everyone’s commute home. A: Why do they have to pick the rush hour to have an assembly? This is so inconvenient. B: Um, isn’t that the point of a protest? A: Yes. But what about MY rights to go home on time? MY rights to not be stuck in traffic? MY rights not to have to take the day off so I don’t get stuck in all of this mess? You know how we can disperse the crowd really...

I returned to writing for Thai-Blogs.com after a long hiatus (read: writer’s block of a massive scale) with this lightly saucy entry about a report that 70% of Thai women don’t have orgasm.

I am surprised and honored to actually get to share the edge of the spotlight where the really good blogs about Thailand are featured. My blog is more of a personal rant and rave with some Thai flavors. Well, heck, I’m Thai! What other flavor is this blog going to have? Even my husband says that...

Someone asked if I’ve heard this one yet. “What do you call two Mexicans playing basketball?” I replied, “jumping beans?” “No…” the someone laughed. “That’s so wrong.” “Well, what do you call them then?” “Juan on Juan.” Yes. We both will be keeping our day jobs....

I believe we are now officially properties of Athena the Cat That Is Not Ours. Then again, I think she knows she has us since the day I started to bring her treats. Also, television still owns my life. I have been looking forward to the return of LOST all day....
