    Pickle is gone.

    December 7, 2025 /

    My cat died today. Sad. She had FIV from getting into fights with neighborhood cats and her health was in decline. There were a lot of trips to the vet over the past year. She became lethargic and incontinent for the last few months and we put her in a cage outside with a litterbox (which she had never seen before but instantly took to) at night. We fed her rich foods she wasn’t used to having like mackerel and chicken liver to supplement her normal meals. Basically, we tried to make her life very nice, because her mouser days were kind of over (although I found the remains of…

    They are commonly carried by university students/teachers. If you can identify them both, you are hardcore Thai.

    Edward is one of the two turtles I saved from the road this year. He was crossing from a pond toward Wang Yao Market on the shortcut from Your Place Hotel to Makro. I kept him in a box for an hour until I could release him.

    aka king trumpet mushroom, French horn mushroom, eryngi, king oyster mushroom, king brown mushroom, boletus of the steppes*, trumpet royale, aliʻi oyster *According to wikipedia, this is misleading nomenclature because boletus (which has pores) and eryngii (which has gills) are of different orders. All I know is that eryngii is delicious and it’s very hard to cook wrong.

    A Good Day Day?

    November 9, 2025 /

    Can’t believe I missed this update 11 years ago: The Return To Finding Out Ice Cube’s Good Day The original post blew up the internet a couple years before that. I found my link to it searching for an old post. A big problem with blogging for so long is that most links and video embeds end up broken… Which was a selling point for social media back in the day (your memories are safe with us!), but of course, even Facebook has started deleting live videos this year after realizing storing that shit costs money.

    Cats in Bowls

    November 9, 2025 /

    Pickle has a long history of posing in bowl-shaped objects. This one is a planter, which has a serious crack in its side in this photo, and that broke in half when I brushed against it with my Honda Wave’s tire shortly after. This other one is a sink we bought at Chatuchak and brought back in the trunk of our Cefiro long ago. Her family has a proud history of chilling in bowls – here is her mom or sister (we can’t remember which), nine years ago, also in a planter.
