The lesson being…

…I shouldn’t try to hold myself together, at least not alone. I figured out why my family is dumb this weekend. Obviously it is because we’re stubborn, but more than that, we are stubbornly independent. We never ask for help, even when we should.
The last time I left San Diego, I went as a thief […]

Hardly holding myself together.

I’m going to assume it is a combination of jetlag and stress, but I’m back to the not-quite-alright sleeping schedule that was killing me before vacation. I’m getting better, but it would have been nice to have a week or so to take care of everything (and to sleep) as opposed to just 3-4 days. […]

Thailand - Afterthoughts while passing through Korea

We’re on our way back, currently on layover in Inchon. orangejello has a longer pause than little bear and i, so he has gone on a short trip into Seoul. I’ve spent most of the time here sleeping, as I failed to do so on the plane up here. Take the Lead was the movie […]

Stupid high school

Crap, my high school’s Newsweek ranking wasn’t as high as Orangejello’s. Monta Vista was only 152 and Orangejello’s school was in the 50’s. Of course, his takes from a wider area and requires people to test into it or something. You may have supreme court justices and famous politicians in your 120 […]

Thailand - Railay, Days where I’m mistaken for a native.

Railay is like Ko Phi Phi, but smaller, more isolated, and less commercial. The night we got in we found most of the budget places were all taken, so we reluctantly took up some nicer rooms in a hotel on the west beach. I have to admit, the real shower was extremely nice. Large, clean, […]

Thailand - Ko Phi Phi, Days… I’ve lost track.

Ko Phi Phi was nice after Patong Beach. The lack of brazen whorishness everywhere was really tiresome. But once we got to Phi Phi Island… chill, way chill. We took the ferry and made our way back to the hotel where we put a deposit down during the snorkling trip. orangejello and I took up […]

Thailand - Phuket - Patong Beach, Days something plus another.

After taking the delayed plane to HKT, we made our way to Patong Beach on the Indian Ocean side of Phuket Island. This is a place of debauchery, but we’ll put that aside for the moment. We walked the streets looking for a place to stay, looking at rooms and being throughly uniumpressed. After much […]

Thailand - Bangkok, Days First through Third

What’s up people! I’m sitting in a internet kisok in the BKK airport waiting for our next flight, so I’m taking the time to catch up before I forget anything (more). The flight was good, “littlebear” and I took Korean Air out of LAX. I was planning on reading smoe of my books on the […]

Free at last, free at last…

Today was my last day at work. Weird. It’s been my routine for so long… I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do anymore. Sure I’ve got stuff to take care of, and I’m going on vacation… but it’s just weird. Sad weird. It’s not the job I’m going to miss, not at […]

Finding it hard to concentrate on my current career

I just came up with an idea for a club I could be an advisor for at a high school.
Classic film club. Concept is pretty simple. Club watches classic movies then discusses them if they wish. Time would be during lunch for a few days in a row, probably not […]
