Dog vs. Lizard
Nam sent a series of her crazy minpin mix, Gen, going after a lizard in our yard in Mahasarakham. (Click on any of the photos to open a larger version of it in a new window.) Note the wild beady eyes of a predator on the hunt. Can’t quite figure out who is attacking who in this photo. Nature is cruel, but one thing is apparent – our side yard at the new house is a veritable Thunderdome (and I already have an idea of who the current champion is).

I sat down to play with Illustrator again for the first time in a few years: Now I’m just being bad.

why I love my local baker
I walk into his store after not buying any bread for three months and he says, “thanks for coming by last night.” Which makes no sense coming from a normal baker, but this guy usually opens his store at 2 or 3 in the morning so I guess it’s possible, perhaps in a food-oriented bout of somnambulism… One loaf of homemade bread and a heaping dose of self-puzzlement, coming right up!

August 6th
Let’s just pretend today is still the sixth. With that in mind: Today I ate my favorite dish at my favorite seafood place in town (anago-don at Uomasa) I walked to the beach with friends, both old and new I washed nary a dish, because we ate out all day We watched 5,000 fireworks at the annual show in town, barely 200 meters from the launch area We watched Breakin’ and the Last Dragon (Sho ‘nuf!) in a sudden fit of 80’s nostalgia (anybody remember Vanity? Also, we discovered perhaps Jean Claude Van Damme’s earliest movie appearance – as a silent [thank god] extra in Breakin’) I received calls and…

Pugalicious
Damn I posted a lot today. But there’s a link a reader sent me that made me laugh out loud: Go forth Uh-oh, that’s the second pug link in a week… Guess I’m turning pansy. Here’s a nasty joke to compensate for my self-perceived emasculation. (Check out the whole site that link’s from – hilarious!)

The Price of Gas in Japan
This is just a little tidbit and not even really a useful tip in the grand scale of things, but as it stands right now, the cheapest place to fill up your car anywhere in Japan is at a highway gasoline stand. Due to the sharp price rise of gasoline earlier this week, prices are now generally over 140 yen per liter (that’s $4.60 a gallon for regular gasoline! FUCK!). However, due to some provision, the gasoline stations you see at the highway rest stops all over Japan have a cap on the price per liter at 137 yen. They (read: The MAN) are looking to close this loophole sometime…

Read this, if nothing else today.
The best writing on the web I’ve seen in months. I really took something precious away by reading that. I propose a variation on Buckaroo Banzai: Wherever you are, there you can be happy.

Mozzie Nerve Pinch
Got stung by a rogue mosquito in the back of the head last night and now my neck is all sore from its virulent nerve toxin-saliva or whatever. Told my fellow office drone about it and he said, “don’t worry it’s probably just encephalitis – haha!” Haha! Very funny, motherfucker. When you were away from your desk and your client called, I told him you got fired for being a crack whore.
