2 days without mommy
Mommy’s gone to Bangkok for a lexicographical conference at the Queen’s Park Hotel; the last time we were there she opened for Yoshimoto! Daddy! and Maxie!! Alone!!! Actually, he’s over at his grandparents’ house with his aunt tonight and his nanny is here every day from 8 to 5, so it shouldn’t be so bad.

Backwards Baby Bjorn
Yes, it works*. And yes, those are red boxers with white hearts on them. No, that’s not why I took the color out. I did that because my complexion turns to “mottled tomato” on really hot days (lots of those in Thailand). The screens we’re going through are goza-like rolls we’ve hung from a curtain rod in front of the front door to block the sun at the end of the day, because our house faces the sunset. *It doesn’t quite feel right, though, maybe a bit like putting a t-shirt on backwards.

Further thoughts on web usage
Facebook has become my outlet for posting the kind of silly stuff I sometimes felt self-conscious about posting here. It’s reeealy easy for me to post on FB in full-on brainfart mode. Cruuuuise control. Is it just me, or is Facebook comprised of 30% lurkers, 20% game/quiz addicts, 5% people you regret friending at some point, 5% aspiring bloggers

Wayback archive
I just went through my bookmarks, which have been transferred from browser to newer browser to internet bookmarking service to different browser to FTP site via FF plugin to even shinier browser over the past eight years and not really cleaned for the past three. Its amazing how many sites are gone, mostly replaced by domain sitters now. I figure about 80% of the blogs I’ve ever bookmarked are either deserted (in the case of a free hosting service like blogspot) or just gone. Blogging feels so old school… I remember the moblogging and videoblogging fads very well. Hell, kid, when I was your age we walked to our blogs…

Lightning and electro-fishing
This article about lightning strikes on animals is interesting but the comments about people’s experiences with lightning strikes and electrofishing are even more so: Death by lightning for giraffes, elephants, sheep and cows

Wherein I confront craziness
In the interest of getting everything on the record, we decided to confront the crazy bitch, at her request, at the police station last Thursday, dependant on a couple of things. We first called in a favor and asked about the officer in charge and got back the answer that he had a reputation for being straight, and a good cop. That was a good sign, because a chance you take when going to the cops here in an unclear case like this one is that the cops are either sided with your opponents for whatever reason, or the cops themselves want something. So I wired myself with a cellphone…
