Happy Thanksgiving!
… words heard from not a single student today. Surprise, surprise. I think I’ve actually seen a real live turkey here in Mahasarakham, up in the forest near the fish sanctuary, but I’m too lazy to be bothered with the killin’ and pluckin’ and dressin’ and stuffin’ and roastin’ – Thanksgiving to me is more of a “Thanksgetting.” Getting stuffed and drowsy off the tryptophan (I choose to believe in the sleepy turkey effect.

Q-bert’s Kids?

Several dreams came true
… and I will let you know all about them when I get a minute to write a real post. In the meantime, let me show you what happens when someone suggests I design my own window bars (security bars made of wrought iron/stainless steel): Designed for opposing shutter-type windows by J. Yoshida, Esq.

Teardrop
It just occurred to me that showing a pregnant woman the video for Massive Attack’s Teardrop might not be the best idea in the world.

Intercepted – Congrats, Nutty!
If you attended our wedding or followed our progress here on this blog, you may remember who caught intercepted the bouquet at the wedding toss – yep, our good friend Nutty is getting married this Sunday in Ratchaburi. We are catching the VIP bus down to Bangkok tonight (arrives @ Mo Chit @ 3 AM). We’ll spend tomorrow catching up on Mexican grubbage if possible, and will drive out to “Ratburi” on Sunday to join the celebration, be merry, antagonize other guests with my perfected snoring patterns, and come back the next day.
