Mint on relationships

To be realistic, only my mother will find this as hilarious as I thought it was, but I’m posting it anyway:

“Just we go เดิน (walk) and see dog. Dog say “huong huong huong huong huong!” (dogs don’t “woof” in Thailand, they “huong”). You say “stupid dog! Why you huong my girlfriend?” Three years ที่แล้ว (ago), then we go เดิน (walk) again, see dog, dog say “huong huong huong huong huong!” You say “stupid girlfriend! Why you want dog huong you?”

I’ve just finished reading “The Devil Wears Prada” by Lauren Weisberger. I also watched the movie, which is very, very bad in comparison to the book, and teaches entirely different lessons. I know practically nothing about fashion, but I had a suspicion that the book was based around Vogue editor Anna Wintour. After watching the movie and reading some bits on IMDB, not only was it based around Anna Wintour, but the author Lauren Weisberger WORKED AS AN ASSISTANT for her! Other trivia was that Wintour allegedly threatened designers with banishment from the page of Vogue if they appeared in the movie, although she also showed a sense of humour by attending the premiere, dressed head-to-toe in Prada.

Poor Bek and Brett have had some (minor in the scheme of things) disaster befall them lately: breksblog.blogspot.com for the details. It reminds me to whinge on my blog about my own hassles with my flights. I have one leg of an expensive ticket left, from BKK - BNE, booked 30-Jun-08. When asked how much to extend that leg beyond that date, I have been quoted 41,300B … around AU$1,400. That’s clearly too much, when a return ticket is only slightly more than that, so the goal is now to get a partial refund on the ticket, for that leg only. Wish me luck.
