I went to the movies yesterday folks, and saw “The Kingdom”. It wasn’t that great, but it was explained that I should get out of the house for a little while.
Mint’s Aunt was coming to visit. Essentially the woman is crazy and Mint wanted to keep things as simple as possible while she was here. [...]

Thais - and I guess a lot of people from Asian countries in general - have a very fluid concept of money. Mint’s sister wants to pawn a necklace of hers, and she can get about 8,000B for it. She offered the same deal to Mint. Mint didn’t have the money so she asked me. [...]

I hereby declare that Shaun Micallef’s new show, NEWStopia is fantastic. I have been watching it myself “on the wire” and decree it to be great.
When I was sick on the weekend, I was telling Godfrey about it. Those who know Godfrey well will know that he’s probably more knowledgeable in the field of paranoid [...]

Rob Wilson turned 1,000 yesterday, many happy returns dude.
I am in way more pain than I deserve. Yesterday I made the mistake of sharing a pizza for lunch with her Mintiness, and since last night have required several trips per hour to the bathroom. Around 3:20am this morning I gave up on the notion of [...]

Well I’m no longer returning on the 29 November.
Those who have been keeping in touch with me by other means while I’ve been too busy to blog will know that I planned to have my surgery in early December. Unfortunately I cannot be scheduled then, so it’s postponed. Again. And now I’m flying back on [...]

It’s been on at the movies for months at least.
The guy goes to his girlfriend and shows her two tickets and says (what sounds to me like):
“May Mangann” (not the same?)?
The girl then takes off running madly. At one stage, while crossing a bridge, she loses her will to keep running, but upon remembering the [...]

Well dudes, I hereby calculate that this is day 31 of my time in Bangers. Today was a good day.
I decided to enrol in a Thai language course. It’s laughably cheap, and for my AU$200 (probably less now considering the sliding US dollar) I get 60 hours of teaching, spread over 20 days at 3 [...]

Don’t freak out by the post heading, it’s not really a “crisis” level crisis, it’s more a crisis of confidence.
Got my letter from RBH screwing up my surgery dates again, and I’m wondering whether “now” (or early December, specifically) is the right time for it. My gut says “no” so that’s the first problem.
The second [...]

As you may recall, my good friend Lindsay Lohan is in a movie called “I Know Who Killed Me”. Seeing as we’re such good friends, I decided to go see it recently, and let’s just say that it deserved it’s 3.7 out of 10 at IMDB, and was pretty awful. I did, however, wonder if [...]
