another day of doing nothing. 2008-03-06 15:55:14 I didn't have a good reason to get up. so, I stayed in bed another day. when I felt the need, I got my dose of the internet. surfing to my hearts content. will I get up tomorrow and pop outside to see what is happening in the world?again... only the shadow knows...on the other hand, there is a good chance that I will venture out tomorrow. my frig is getting pretty empty. and even this lounge lizard can't live without food.well, so much for the latest on me. time to get back to sleep.later, everybody.

taking a day off from the scene. 2008-03-05 20:15:09 have you ever had so much fun, you needed to take a break? a break from the fun, that is.my body just couldn't keep up with all the lounge lizards in town. so, I decided to take a break from the scene
.all I did yesterday was watch tv, play computer games, and twiddle my thumbs. originally, I had these high hopes of accomplishing a number of chores. but as it turns out, all I managed to do was pay the rent.so, what is on the agenda today, you ask? besides twiddling my thumbs and staring at the ceiling, ...I don't know. that bed feels so good, I may just cuddle up and suck on my thumb for another day. aaahhhhh. oooohhhhh.actually, people. life is good. but my brain is so overwhelmed by recent events, I need to meditate on life a little bit before diving back in. how long will I ne
build it - and they will come. 2008-03-04 21:56:48 some of the bay area boys are in town. like crusaders mounted on white steeds, these guys walked into the parking lot with mile long smiles. talk about making an appearance.I am not sure how long they will be here. but it is always fun to hangout with them.the new arrivals - miguel hildago, skyman, flyboy, captain america. word is - quick draw mcgraw will be coming shortly. and let's not forget... another group of lounge lizards - errol flynn, dennis the menace, x-man, and db cooper - will be here in a few days.whew! definitely a posse. a posse of lounge lizards. YaaaaaaHOOOOOOOOO!other news....geronimo left the land of smiles this morning. the silver surfer is leaving later today. da brain will be off to fly kites for a week.roll call - dirk bonapare, tiger, timberwolf, dutch callah
mississippi enters the scene. 2008-03-03 17:39:59 for lunch, went to the all-you-can-eat pizza hut buffet over on siam square with dirk bonapare - the bouncer. while chomping down on pizza, dirk tells me he is going back to canada soon. a job offer came in that is too tempting to refuse. alas, another lounge lizard about to make an exit.after the buffet, dirk and I spent like 3 hours exploring the siam paragon mall window shopping for a variety of things. then, we parted. I went home to take a short power nap before meeting up with da brain, tiger and a couple of others for dinner at the food court. mississippi made a surprise entrance. haven't seen the guy in like 6 months.from the food court, I went to the parking lot to hang out for about 4 hours. met up with the silver surfer, richie rich, brian piccolo, supergirl, special k, a Read more:scene

health insurance in thailand. 2008-03-01 14:38:46 after the bout with the flu a few days ago, I started thinking about health insurance
again. yeah. I currently don't have any coverage. and at age 53, I thought maybe I should get serious and get some.here's what I found..://insurance.thaivisa.com/if you browse through each of these above sites, you can pretty much get answers for most of your questions regarding health insurance for ex-pats in thailand.bottomline, for about 12,000 baht a year, an individual can get health insurance that will cover most of your basic needs while you live here in thailand. at current exchange rates, 12,000 baht is about 300 us dollars. not bad considering...changing the subject...didn't really do anything special today. worked out at the gym with da brain. went to coffee world afterwards to hangout a little
an observation... 2008-02-29 21:13:46 something happened to me last night that has me wondering - what gives??so, what happened, you ask?there I was going home after a great night hanging out in the loooobby. I boarded this local bus going in the direction of my apartment. and as soon as I did, the bus conductor, this lady screams out loud in thai for everybody to hear quote, "THERE'S A FOREIGNER ON THE BUS!" ..when she announced this, I looked around and realized that she must have been talking about me. since I was the only one who was non-thai on the bus, who else could it be??what is going on, you ask?frankly, I don't know. but for sure, something is up. ..MY GUESS - the thai people are in the middle of some major internal discussions about issues that they don't want non-thais to be aware of.for those of you who may
feeling better... 2008-02-28 18:50:09 aaahhhhhh. it's amazing what some sleep can do for your health. I just woke up feeling good. after 2+ days of the flu, it was about time. I still have a little cough,and my throat feels somewhat dry, but the extreme backaches have disappeared.I am keeping my fingers crossed. but my guess is - it'll be the looobby tonight.YEAH!!!the loooooobby. the parking lot. and ALL the lounge lizards. life is great, life is grand - in thailand...should I celebrate the occasion by going to the sizzler today? ..or maybe go to the mbk foodcourt for some khao mun gai? we'll see...MacG should be coming into town today. it will good to see the guy again. received emails from harrison ford, the sarge and denver terry. harrison is coming over in about a month for a stay of at least 6 months. denve Read more:better
do you know?.... 2008-02-28 08:33:41 about the survivors clause in social security?since I have been somewhat bed ridden with the flu these past 2 days, I decided to do some research on my future retirement benefits aka social security. what I found out is somewhat interesting. especially to someone whom I might marry in the future.get this... if I marry someone, and I die, at my current situation, my spouse would be entitled to receive about $1000 dollars a month. each child of mine would also receive $1000 dollars a month.I may be wrong on this. but you can check out the info for yourself. look under survivors benefits., if my take on this info is correct, make sure you pick the right person to marry. and by all means, don't tell them that you are eligible for SS.most important, don't buy a condo in pattaya that has a balco
not much to report.. 2008-02-28 00:11:23 yours truly was not a happy camper last night. except for some periods of non-pain where I played supreme commander as long as my body would tolerate it, I have been bed ridden. last night, my body felt like it was in the grip of a professional wrestler, tensed up and painful. ever get beated up by a bunch of guys? yeah. that pretty much paints the picture for you. it's getting better though. earlier this morning, I was able to take a shit without my head throbbing. life is starting to look better. I think my flu is going away now.back in the world of the lounge lizards...davy crockett called me up to chat a little. received a call from da brain. he was in hua hin but returning today. got an email from MacG. he'll be back as scheduled on the 29th.not much else to report

thaksin is coming back to bangkok. 2008-02-27 03:04:12 the big news in the thai newspapers lately is - thaksin is coming back! for those of you who are not familiar with the political world here in thailand, thaksin was the PM who was push out of office by a military coup not too long ago.thaksin is coming back!so, how does this lounge lizard feel about thaksin coming back, you ask?since I have never met the guy, I don't have any opinion about him. except perhaps to say, I think the guy is more of a friend to the usa. much more so than the previous coup members were. in addition, I don't think it is my place to be too critical of thailand as I am a guest here. calderon of mexico would do well to mark my words if he knows what is good for him. we don't need a foreigner telling americans how to run their immigration policy.it's all about res
maadee is in town. 2008-02-25 19:25:10 yesterday started off with yours truly meeting up with mr./mrs. EC in the looobby at around 6pm. we took the underground to the oishii express out in rachada. had dinner there. the special of the day at the place was this item with inagi over rice. great stuff. after dinner, went back to the looobby. hung out and chatted for a bit. around 9pm, mr./mrs.EC went to sleep. something about school the next day.at the oishii express, I saw da brain with mei off to the side at a separate table.it was sort of early for me to be at the looobby. being 9pm and all. but since it would be a waste of time for me to come and go, I just hung out in the parking lot. ..guess who came out of the woodwork? maadee. he's back for a few weeks. we traded notes on life. appears MacG is coming back soon
I finally meet up with mr./mrs. EC. 2008-02-25 01:28:07 played supreme commander for around 3 hours. then, went to the gym by myself. did a quick workout. from the gym, went to coffee world. met da brain there. and we then, went to the sizzler for a late dinner. da brain had some company. after the dinner, da brain and gang went to some show. of course, I went to the parking lot to hang out. would you believe it? ..as soon as I got to the parking lot, I got a unexpected phone call from mr./mrs. EC. they are in the lobby. fate works in strange ways. I meet up with the missing couple. and we chat a bit. mr.EC treats me to a beer, and gives me the updated status of his life. we must have talked for about 2 hours because the next thing I know it is past midnight. our final discussion focused on eating out today. am to meet them at
frank is going home. 2008-02-23 20:02:21 the main event yesterday - frank is going home. after several weeks of fun and games, frank will be boarding a plane back to the bay area tomorrow. as a farewell gesture, da brain, frank sinatra, and I went out to this thai bbq buffet out in rachada to eat and shoot the breeze. after dinner, we did a soapie tour. and finished the night by hanging out at the loooobby. word is frank will be back in october.other lounge lizard news bits....the guru's buddy, nickalas cage is back in town from hk. tiger and dennis the menace will be in town next week. davy crockett got his retirement visa. the engineer is in love - AGAIN. he did show and tell the other day. met a new guy. friend of hawaiian bill. let's all welcome - hawaiian ben.it was another day with the looobby jam packed with loung
the new york cop. 2008-02-22 13:45:33 just got word from the sarge that the new york cop broke his leg and is laid up in vegas. sorry to hear that. take care RD.back in the looobby, roger 8 bellies, and peter o'toole finally decided to join us. it's been ages since we last heard or saw them.overall, an above average night. the lobby was full of lounge lizards. even da brain decided to stay out late tonight. we ended up getting a midnight snack at subway before going home.so, what did I do all day, you ask?besides the looobby, and the parking lot.... 5 hours playing supreme commander, and 3 hours surfing the net. factor in some time for the toilet, eating... and you pretty much get a typical day in the life of this lounge lizard.tomorrow, a workout at the gym followed by dinner at one of those thai bbq buffets.sleep, sl
food. 2008-02-19 18:36:10 yesterday started off with my meeting up with dirk bonapare at noon for this pizza buffet. man, we ate like there was no tomorrow. afterwards, I went to pantip plaza and finally purchased my new main computer. I don't know if I got the best price for it but what the hell. I have it now, and I can go back to playing computer games again. it took me close to 4 hours to customize the look of the new pc for my own use. one last thing to do with my new pc.. sometime in the next week, I will have to make an external backup.around 7pm at night, I met up with da brain, mei, and frank sinatra for dinner at the fish head restaurant. again, ate like there was no tomorrow.da brain was really nice, and he dropped me off at the loooobby after dinner. didn't spend much time oogling last night. my
today, my computer went kaput. 2008-02-15 06:32:33 somebody up there must really not like me. why do I say this, you ask? well, let's see. the other day, there was the asshole incident. yesterday, I wasn't able to eat at sizzler. and now, today, my main computer dropped dead on me. for an hour, I sat there looking at poor joe (that's the name of my main computer.) I tried my best to get joe working. but nothing worked. it was just his time.so, I am accessing the internet through my spare computer now. good ole william. I named him after the guy I bought him from. william is working ok. but for how long, I don't know. he might get a hernia someday from working too hard, and just die on me. we'll see..in the meantime, I have to go shopping for a new computer. of course, it'll have to be something cheap. guess I will have to t
valentine day? 2008-02-14 11:12:25 man, I never knew the thai's celebrated valentine day with a vigor - until today.there I was ready to go eat at the sizzler. after thinking about eating veggies and cream of mushroom soup for 3 days, I was really geared up to eat at the SIZZLER.when I got to the central world mall, with a quick pace, I walked up to the sizzler in that mall. what I saw sort of surprised me. 4 dozen people waiting in line to get in??? what gives???thinking that I was smart, I said to myself quote, "no big deal, I'll go to the other sizzler at the siam center." so, off I went. again in a quick pace. when I got to the the sizzler at the siam center, again, I saw a long line of people waiting to get in. at least 50 people waiting in line. in my mind, I start thinking, "this really sucks!" why don't th
a surprise visit... 2008-02-14 02:23:50 there I was snoring away while taking in some beauty sleep when all of sudden I hear this distant "briiiing, BRiiiiiiinng". in my mind, I am saying to myself quote, "it's the phone, idiot! get up!" my little brother was really slow and limp. so, I thought to myself, "I guess I will have to be the one who gets up."in a meek voice, I answered the phone, "hello, hello?"...somebody answered, "it's me lim. one minute..." then some guy answered me quote, "we'll be at bla, bla, bla." all during this 2 minute conversation, I was wondering who this person was. like I can read minds, you know.finally, I asked. and would you believe it, it is mr. and mrs. EC all the way from sacramento. talk about being surprised. this whole thing happened no more than 10 minutes ago, so, I haven't fully w Read more:visit
a day of rest... 2008-02-13 11:16:56 took a day off today to rest. did nothing but stare at the ceiling, watch tv, and surf the net.the weather here in bangkok is much hotter and humid than in the PI. as a result, I think my body is reacting to it in a negative way somewhat. thank god I can sit back and do nothing until I feel better.well, the day was not a complete loss, I did finish with 3 loads of laundry.since I didn't have any food in the frig, I ordered out. purchased my favorite dishes from the inhouse restaurant. and happily chomped down on the food while watching harry potter on tv.chatted a little with da brain online.guess I'll get back to sleep now. tomorrow is another day. looking forward to going to the sizzler for lunch. aaaahhhhhh. the sizz.

BIG.her name, you ask? ..big eyes betty.big eyes betty was one cute baby. she stared at me with these big brown eyes. and had this big smile when she looked at me. ..now, let's see how she is in the laughing department. time will tell.clint is in bangkok only for a couple of days. he came to get big eyes betty her usa passport. then, it is back home they go. no time at all even for hanging out. clint is the total family man now. good for him.

getting lazy... 2008-03-08 10:26:12 well, I went to the lobby last night. had fun hanging out with everybody. but I got lazy tonight. didn't go. decided to just play "SUPREME COMMANDER". so, what's the latest, you ask?...the handsome man is leaving tomorrow. but will be back in june. the skyman left. saw quick draw mcgraw last night. but only for about 20 minutes.

staring at the ceiling. 2008-03-14 13:13:20 lately, I have been getting really lazy. tonight, I was going to go to the lobby, but for some reason I got caught up with surfing the net, and watching tv. I guess I felt too comfortable to get up.anyway, so here I am. it's about 1am. and I really have no desires except to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling.could it be? I am going through a mid-life crisis?mike jagger went to pattaya today. and asked if I was going. for some reason, I thought about eating a big steak when I thought about his question. I hope it is not alzheimers as I think I am too young to get that, I think?!?turning 54 in about a month. ugh!
db cooper and errol flynn.. 2008-03-13 07:24:15 received notices from both of these lounge lizards.. they are both in town. I informed them that I will be in the looobby tonight. but it seems they might not be able to join up with me tonight for a chat. oh well, guess it'll have to be another day.today was another day of just relaxing at home, watching tv, and surfing the net. I played some supreme commander. but after 10 hours of it in the last few days, I decided to take a little break. even a hardcore gamer like me can get tired of a good thing.tonight it will be the looobby. something different to change the pace of life.
