stayed home last night. 2008-06-16 17:49:15 last night, it rained. so, I stayed home. I hate the rain. it puts a damper on my plans whatever they might be.all I did last night was play computer games, surf the net, and watch tv. a boring day to say the least.anyway, it's about 5:30am in the morning right now, and I am wide awake. guess I'll play some more computer games before I go back to sleep.let's keep our fingers crossed and hope
a busy day. 2008-06-18 17:27:48 yesterday was pretty dead. but today was just the opposite. it started out with the sarge calling me all the way from san francisco for a short chat. and then, I got a call from harrison ford to meet up for dinner at sizzler.from the sizzler, we went to the big T to hang out a little. I haven't been to the big T in a while. but get this, I was told by one of the waiters there that the big T is
what gives??? 2008-06-17 15:40:36 the lobby was pretty dead tonight. I saw charles bronson, and nintendo lounging in the softseats. but that was it. I was totally surprised that timberwolf was nowhere to be seen.maybe it was the rain that put a damper on everything. it did rain earlier tonight.out in the parking lot, I saw kilroy the stud, and craig constantine. but it looked like a ghost town in comparison to past days hanging ou
my back hurts. 2008-06-24 10:43:05 da brain got into town earlier than I expected. he called me from the airport while I was still in dreamland dreaming of that actress in azumi. the phone call jolted me back to reality. and I thought to myself - "IT'S DA BRAIN!!!""lunch? oh. ok. at mbk?" we didn't talk long on the phone. I was still dizzy somewhat from waking up so fast. for a minute there, I laid there in bed staring up at
da brain is coming! DA BRAIN IS COMING!! 2008-06-23 14:38:25 yes, you heard me right. da brain is coming BACK to bangkok. he's on his way as we speak. should be here by tomorrow sometime. can't say exactly when. delays happen all the time. but when he does finally arrive, it'll be moo ka-tats, and the sort once again.I went to the lobby earlier tonight. but it was very quiet. there were a few of us hanging out in the softseats. but nobody really said anythi
could you please pass... 2008-06-22 20:04:57 the potato chips? I did absolutely nothing today but stare at the ceiling, watch tv, surf the net, and EAT.while surfing the net, I came upon some articles on some orphanage here in thailand. reading the stories about the kids made me cry. yep, this lounge lizard cries every so often. he's a big kid himself.anyway, I offered to volunteer my time if it would help. I'm not much of an expert at chang
have you heard of magicjack? 2008-06-21 23:55:05 I was just reading about this new gadget that allows you to make unlimited phone calls in the usa and canada for almost free once you buy it. startup costs is about 40 dollars. includes the magicjack gadget and all phone calls for the first year. each year after the first year costs about 20 dollars.UNLIMITED local and long distance phone numbers in the usa and canada for a WHOLE year for about 2
no violence? 2008-06-20 08:57:33 it was interesting to note that no violence of any real significance happened at the PAD protest today. I was half expecting some shootings and bloodshed on the streets near my apartment. as it were, nothing happened. ..thank god.so, rather than stay home tonight huddled in a corner, I've decided to venture back out to the lobby to hang out with whomever else found the courage to go out to.harr
playing it safe. 2008-06-19 17:23:31 I decided to stay home tonight. and maybe even tomorrow night. what with these PAD guys running around all over town protesting about the government. get this, there are some new guys that call themselves DAAD going around protesting the protesters too now.if we add some monkeys and a few elephants, we could have a circus. (bad joke?)on a serious note though, some people are saying that this co
another coup in the works? 2008-06-19 05:28:09 these past couple of days, I've been reading about a number of confrontations about to occur between the PAD and the thai government. friday tomorrow seems to be the focus date for a display of power by the PAD. taking over a government building.://www.bangkokpost.com/topstories/topstories.php?id=128351from an outside vantage point looking in, I have to wonder why they are doing this. according to
on a SOTSE marathon. 2008-07-08 13:25:41 after sleeping pretty much most of the day monday, I woke up tuesday morning slamming away at the keyboard of my computer. I was playing my new computer game with an intensity that one normally reserves for the bedroom. instead of an occasional Oooohhhhh. and an Aaahhhhhh. I was cursing loudly at all the evil villains who were daring to intrude on my territory. TAKE that! you bastard. this
got sidelined... 2008-07-07 08:13:18 running around and getting somewhere? I got lazy these past couple of days. so, didn't post. I think it was the rain. rain does that to me. make me lazy that is.let's see now. what did I do the past couple of days? ..I made it to the sizzler for lunch the day before yesterday. went with hawaiian bob. after lunch we did some window shopping. looking for maps of china that are in english.
up and down day for me. 2008-07-04 15:39:27 the whole day was sort of strange for me. after going to sleep for 3 hours, I got up and played some SOTSE. 3 hours later, I went back to sleep. and 3 hours later, I got up again to play yet some more SOTSE. this went on until about 3:30pm thereabouts. da brain calls me up. dinner at the soi 7 food court at 7pm. we meet. eat dinner. the rain starts to pour down on us. ugh! 30 minutes la
another day at home.. 2008-07-03 01:28:00 just stayed home, and played "sins of the solar empire." (SOTSE) the game is incredible. I got slaughtered 3 times already. had to restart the game every time I played. always forgeting to do something. hehehe. fun, fun, fun.nothing on the agenda today. just woke up. get something to eat. maybe hang out at the lobby tonight.last night, I played SOTSE for over 8 hours.anyway, got to run.
which is better? xbox, ps3, OR pc? 2008-07-02 06:09:25 with all the different computer platforms out there, one has to wonder which is the best one to play on? personally, I see the pc/computer as the best one to play on. the reason why is simple to understand. no other platform allows a gamer the complexity of control that a personal computer allows. BAR NONE. ..for someone like me who likes strategy based games, this element of complexity is wh Read more:better
I got scared BIG time. 2008-07-02 04:17:10 do you want to know what really scares me, people? well, I'll tell you. ..losing access to blogger. ..that's the online service I use for my blog. for 2 days straight, I wasn't able to post to this blog. and needless to say, I was a bundle of pins and needles all this time. to me, this was worst than being turned down by a girl that I've got the "BING" for. there I was trying to login to this blog
some home cooking.. 2008-06-30 09:44:29 after the long day that I experienced yesterday, I half expected the next day would be a day of rest. and sure enough, it has turned out as such.woke up at around 3pm. da brain called me to confirm his dinner invitation. his friend - "beautiful" - is going to cook us up some authentic thai dishes from scratch. no buying off the street mind you.dinner is at 6pm. YEAH!before hopping on a bus to Read more:cooking
8am to 4am nonstop. 2008-06-29 16:30:49 today was a strange day for me. I got hardly any sleep last night. but I was up from 8am to 4am. I have been up for 20 hours with no nap. for me, this is a very rare scenario. to make it even more odd is the fact that I don't feel tired. ..even now when I am about to go to sleep.day started out with my maid, pond, coming in to clean up my place. when she left, I played some SC. did another
shooting the breeze with bill cosby. 2008-06-28 15:18:32 met up with da brain over at mbk. had lunch at the foodcourt. then, hung out at starbucks. super glenn joined a little later. they had some sale on towels. so, I bought a couple of towels. around 4pm, da brain and super glenn went to get a foot massage. and I went immediately back home to play some SC. did 2 loads of laundry. took a nap. woke up to play another session of SC. was almost g Read more:shooting
dreaming of taco bell. 2008-06-28 02:45:25 after a slow night at the lobby, I went home and played SUPREME COMMANDER until the wee hours. I think I went to sleep around 7am in the morning. right now, it is about 2pm in the afternoon. ...yeah. just woke up.the first thing that came to my mind when I got out of bed was taco bell. you would think with my playing SC all day, it would be SC. but no, all I could think about when I woke up was ta
it's friday night in bangkok. 2008-06-27 14:38:15 I made it to the lobby tonight. but for a friday night, not too many lounge lizards showed up for the festivaties.I had a short chat with one of kilroy's buddies. he's been a frequent face on the scene, so, I guess it is ok to give him a nickname now. people, let's all welcome mcgarrett to the clan.roll call... timberwolf, charles bronson, zorba the greek, harrison ford, kaito, snow white, mcgarre
on the verge of 91 kilos.. 2008-06-27 08:04:10 in pounds, that is about 200 pounds. yes, I'm talking about my weight. ugh!the thought passed through my mind as I joined da brain for yet another buffet early this afternoon. dinner last night was at this moo ka-tat out by the prakonong BTS (skytrain). lunch today was at the koso sushi over on silom road. I got up to 14 trays of sushi before I passed out. da brain left me behind with at least
no lobby tonight. 2008-06-26 11:14:20 the other day, I bought this new computer game. ..SUPREME COMMANDER - FORGED ALLIANCE. and this morning, I finally found the time to install it on my computer...NEED I say more?it was supreme commander - forged alliance ALL DAY. I couldn't get off the computer. having so much fun slaughtering so many robots, and the sort.da brain and harrison ford both called me up to see what was up. and I just c Read more:lobby

(..all-you-can-eat buffet.) we met at this place over by the prakanong BTS at around 6:30pm, and left around 8:30. 2 hours of constant eating.at this moment, I still feel somewhat sleepy from eating so much food. so, I will try to finish this post asap so that I can go to sleep...after dinner, we went to the lobby to hang ou
there must be something special.. 2008-06-25 01:00:16 about 11am today. I was sound asleep dreaming of my ex-wife. when all of a sudden, I get these phone calls. ...why? with all the pretty girls here in thailand, I wake up with thoughts about my ex-wife. go figure...anyway, so, at around 11am thereabouts, I received these 3 phone calls from 3 friends. the 1st call I received was from da brain. moo ka-tat at 6:30pm. yeaa! I thought. the 2nd call was Read more:something
the power of the spoken word. 2008-07-21 23:16:34 one of the things I like to talk about is - BUFFETS. bangkok has so many different ones. you could spend everyday of the month at a different one if you so desire. naturally, I talk about buffets all the time with my fellow lounge lizards.it didn't occur to me that talking about buffets would influence others to want to join me at some of these places.as it turns out, this actual scenario happe Read more:power
beautiful is a good cook. 2008-07-20 15:48:42 da brain invited me to dinner again. talk about a great guy. beautiful was the cook. we had padkapow hoi (mussels with basel and garlic), somtam thai (papaya salad), wongkancum (some fusion disk with shrimps and garlic), and of course steam rice. for dessert, we stuffed ourselves with mangosteens, and some other exotic fruit similiar to lychees. I ate so much food. there was no room for pine
