While Brandon was down at Miramar with Justin and Erik, having a boy’s day out looking at planes at the air show and turning themselves into cooked lobsters, I labored away at my first part of my Halloween costume while watching Top Gear and Dr. Who marathon. Behold, the Jedi robe, made from scratch! Brandon helped me pin the bottom hem. It was curved so I couldn’t quite just measure 8-inch to cut all the way around and have the same length. My poor sun burned husband was at my feet, helping me shorten my robe. But it’s finished, finally....

USC Trojans football team. How I love thee! Oh, yeah, baby. I am soooooo back with the football season after having missed the opener two weeks ago. There was no college football on Thailand’s cable, by the way. Just, oh, I don’t know, 3 channels of soccer and one that seems to be alternating between ML baseball and rugby. I think once NFL starts up, you get a few games in there too. Anyway. I got a big ol’ welcome back to the realm of the Trojans by spending the entire evening in front of James and Aurora’s gigantic screen...

I have just upgraded to WordPress 2.2 and obviously am still working out all the kinks. Yes, that was why site disappeared for a few moments today and now the side bar is kind of back but not really. And apparently my RSS feed seems to work for some people but not everyone. (That is unrelated and I can’t figure that out yet either.) I’m just not 1337 enough to fix all the problems. So I dispatched the calvary. Actually, if YOU happen to know what I am doing wrong, by all means please throw me the bone. I’d really...

#1 I’m a Doctor Who newbie, having started watching the new version just this season. I didn’t like the guy who played the last Doctor and I really didn’t like Rose. But the new pair of Doctor and Martha Jones, these two are cute together. Anyways, last night’s episode…NO SPOILER HERE…Martha was introducing the Doctor to everyone as, well, “the Doctor”. Her mom said, “And you’re Doctor….?” And Martha said, “Just the Doctor.” Light bulb went on in my little brain. Me: Oh, NOW I get it! B: What? Me: “Doctor Who! He’s just ‘the Doctor’. No name. Just ‘the...

2 new ones for yours truly. First, following the footsteps of Pondering Mumbling, I started a blog at the Nation website. That’s Thailand’s English language newspaper I used to write for a long, long time ago. I’ll be about life in the US v.s. in Thailand for a Thai expat. It’ll be more impulsive than my entries at Thai-Blogs, but ought to be entertaining. We’ll see just how long I can keep up with that one. So, I’m not going to put it on my blogroll just yet. Secondly, I have purchased the fabric for my Halloween costume. Yes, my...

My friend Christine has always supported the Weevils since day one. And now, I am supporting her right back. Besides, it’s a Star Trek related site! Do you think I’m going to let Captain Picard down? Never! Take a visit to http://startrek.fanlib.com/ and http://startrek.fanlib.com/trailer.html A little back story on the history of Christine and myself. Christine is a friend from HSX days. I partied at her place many a times. Lots of memories there. You’ll just have to ask me about it. Hehee… Oh, and I’m back in my game somewhat tonight. Got groceries, started laundry (which Brandon helped finish…thanks...
