As previously stated, I am not a Twi-hard. I haven’t read the books, and I haven’t even watch Twilight until a few days ago on Thai cable at the urging of my sister-in-law who insisted that I knew the story before we see New Moon. Being a pop culture fiend, I did know that story. Going straight into New Moon wouldn’t be a problem. I mean, Kuri’s attempt at reading Twilight for the rest of us got me to know enough of the sap involve that I personally don’t want to get in on that crap. (Thanks again, Kuri for...

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...

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....

…I’m ready to go. Are you ready for me, the Big Mango? So I leave LAX tonight, arriving in Bangkok at 6 a.m. on Saturday. (Yes, time traveling. It’s awesome.) Let’s say, I’d probably get home around 8 a.m. I’d be done unpacking by 9 a.m. and I get to relax for a while. 3:30 p.m. I am off to my friend’s condo for a pool party. A few hours later, we’ll mosey down to Kinnaree Gourmet Thai for dinner and drinks, my annual pilgrimage. Hopefully, someone will drop me off at home with a nice buzz. Yep. I’m rolling...

I am not a Twi-hard but I am willing to go cougar for Taylor Lautner. I haven’ t read the book nor have I seen the first film but from New Moon trailer, I am Team Jacob all the way, baby. Besides, it comes down to that Werewolf v.s. Vampire debate. Who would you rather have, a vampire or a werewolf? Not counting Taylor, my vote has always been for a werewolf. Why? Let me count the ways! He’s alive. Duh. He eats like normal people. If you can’t share my love for food, you can’t be here. He’s warm....

It was a LOT easier waking up at 5 a.m. when you go to bed by 9:30 p.m. I have been doing it for a week now, waking up at 5 a.m., shower, make a mug of tea, sit at my computer and work until 6:15, get dressed, leave at 6:30 to catch my bus. This morning, instead of sitting until 6:15, I caught the 6:15 bus instead. Do I even dare say it? Guys, I might have been converted into an early bird. I really do enjoy having all this quiet time in the morning. I mean, having the...
