Wheel of Fortune

I told you about my multi-talented friend Note, the co-owner of Kinnaree Gourmet Thai and tarot card reader extraordinaire.  The latter, at least our group of friends think she is anyway. I promised Note that I would blog about my month-to-month prediction, so that as time ticks on, we can come back to see how accurate she really is. Before we get to that, what she said about my overall future gets me giggling. She said that although I am a team player, I work better alone. Same thing with my social life, great with friends and going out but...

Home At Last

Sawaddee from the Big Mango, y’all!  A nice, crisp, 75F “winter” Bangkok, no less.  I am enjoying the cool morning here. I arrived at dawn yesterday and what a day it was!  My brother and sister-in-law picked me up in his brand new BMW X5.  We had breakfast and I was left to myself all morning.  I unpacked, played some piano, and took a crack at the Nikki Heat novel before succumbing to sleep after lunch. My friend Note called to wake me up and off I went to her condo for a 4:30 p.m. pool party that didn’t happen....

Sunday Glorious Sunday

Halloween night? Massive fun. My team of Thrill the World LA and OC kicked ass at Halloween on Pine. We literally rocked the stage. I mean, the fucking thing was swaying with our every moves! Not once, but TWICE! It was complete and total rockage. Brandon was a complete trooper, escorting me up and down the street and once again played photographer and roadie to our rag tag team of zombies. Obviously, I barely watched USC…and even more obviously, I had a bra on. Sorry, team. My bad. Moo. Moo… Sunday came easily. First Sunday with zero schedule. No Thriller....

It’s in the coffin

Oh hell yes.2,300 or so on paper but it felt/looked like 6,000 out there in the plaza!  Brandon shot over 700 pictures and I had another 200.  (What a trooper he is, braving the Blue Line and all!) Worldwide, last counted, 23,000 people. What a moment.  What an adventure! You can’t see me in this clip though they did close up on me for the “Coming up next” before this section. Life is slowly getting back to normal.  I have to lead my little Long Beach team to perform on Halloween at Halloween on Pine and that’s it for Thriller...

Enjoy the little things

Zombieland. Who knew that movie would give you some great life lessons.  Well, you know, aside of the Zombieland Survival Rules. Enjoy the little things, Talahassee said. My life has been kind of a whirlwind these past few months.  There are many little things I totally appreciate and enjoy. Like a bouquet of flowers Brandon bought for me. Very unexpected. Like getting a ride home from a bus buddy who drove in in the morning. Like getting my Italian homework explained to me by the Italian Coworker. Like watching Dresden react to “big people’s food” we offer him.  On Tuesday,...
