From Bangkok Post: Patrician for premier? ANALYSIS: By Peter Janssen, dpa Chances of Abhisit Vejjajiva – the Oxford-educated 43-year-old leader of the Democrat Party – becoming Thailand’s next prime minister have risen in recent weeks in tandem with the downfall of his once arch rival – Thaksin Shinawatra. ETA : I made more edits later on when I got home and actually had time to do research. So, here we go.) Abhisit–his nickname is Mark, by the way–has been my favorite since he entered Thai political scene as one of the youngest politician ever years ago. He was in his...

It’s been a quiet and relaxing weekend so far. You know, the 2 days break from the daily grind that feels like a 7 day vacation? One of those. We spent an hour at a client’s house in the morning. It was half work half social call, so that was fun. I ran all sorts of errands in the early afternoon, much enjoyable and productive alone time.

Well, fuck. The monitor itself even looks bigger than last night! The Vitamin Water bottles in the store, the same size as what I have at home, look huge. My judgment on dimension is a little off right now so I keep banging into things…which makes me feel like the things ARE bigger. Even myself looks bigger. Thicker, I should say. Good lord. I get to walk around...

I’m on the 18th hour of being awake. Yep. The monthly board meeting day. The crack of dawn wake up time of 4:45 to get ready and get in the car and leave no later than 5:20 sharp in order to miss morning traffic which results in me being at work at 6 a.m., 30 minutes early, but if I leave after 5:20, I would have gotten there at 6:30 or later. I was going to make dinner, but decided not to, so I came home to the Brandon the Handyman Show. I kept “just in case I get electrocuted”...
