This too shall stick

If I haven’t been able to get this song out of my head since I’ve seen it on The Graham Norton Show Christmas Special, you shouldn’t be able to either. Here. Have yourself some Tim Minchin.

2008 Awards

Drinking Buddy of the Year: Dave the New Guy Well, at this point, Dave is not new any more.  Since Celeste has left the company, Dave has stepped up to be the man to call on for a little happy hour action.  As a matter of fact, Dave led the pack to the fun night in West Hollywood a few months back with Nik, Erin and I in tow.  That was quite a night.

Deliciousness

America gets Obama.  Thailand gets Abhisit. The world is done with old school. We’re looking at the new generation now. It’s not the scenario I have in mind for my beloved Khun Mark to take the Thai PM seat, but the day I have been waited for has arrived. And yes, for you critical readers out there, I am superficial when it comes to Abhisit. VERY and proudly superficial.  I’ve been rooting for the man since he entered politics at 27.  For the fact that Khun Mark can sit down with CNN with no translator is refreshing and inspiring. Here’s...
