momentous – 999999999
This was the entire point of that other post. Some might wonder why I choose to commemorate 99999 999.9 instead of 100000 000.0. Well, I can’t really explain it; that’s just not how it’s done – we follows the little voice in our headses and it leads us on grand adventures… Right, Preeeciousss? What a grand occasion this is. //////////////////////////// In honor of this momentous accomplishment, Nam and I have decided to go on a road trip from tomorrow. Where we go shall not be decided beforehand. We will pack for a few days, hop in the car, and see where the road takes us. Be back soon!

Stripes
I totally just smoked this guy who wanted to race, on the way home. I’ve been a really good boy and not given into temptation until today, but this guy was a total asshole and cut me off. He was in a fast VW hatchback, so I gave him the lead for a while and let him eat my xenons. Then I passed him in the outside lane and that was that, because there was no way he could keep up. Not much to it, but it felt really good. This sleeper car of mine has earned its stripes. Someone has contacted me with an offer to install a custom…

vindicated
An ATM ate my bank card and the screen flashed OUT OF ORDER in incredibly annoying red letters. I socked it pretty hard and it spit my card back out, then it resumed normal operation. That was pretty much the best thing that happened today (besides finding a really good fried chicken vendor downtown).

Short BKK foray
I’ll be heading into Bangkok again for a few days… This time for fun.

Off to BKK
We’re leaving for an (early) weekend trip to Bangkok, on a mission: To find me some wheels! Wish us luck. UPDATE (FEB 5): Mission Accomplished! We are in the finance approval/transfer process and if all goes well, we’ll be picking up the new ride in a couple weeks – it is so sweet!

Fellow Ugmericans…
Just a quick observation today: When any random group of expats gathers overseas for a social event – be it a holiday, a sports event, or even just a quick drink at the local watering hole – why does there always seem to be at least one TOTAL FUCKING PSYCHO among their numbers? You know who I mean, the asshole who likes to get in the middle of conversations he couldn’t hope to begin understanding, and wants nothing more than to prove his conviction in his simpleton viewpoints by punching someone in the face… And why does the psycho always seem to be from the same country as you?

Uncle Ho is watching YOU
A word to the wise: Don’t post to 2ch when you are in Laos. Pass it on.

Wakayama Kayaking Trip: Successful
We beat all odds and experienced the best possible weather for our trip, right when the typhoon should have been beating us up – it was like we somehow squeezed into a good weather belt. Anyway, photos are forthcoming and many thanks to my pal Hirata for setting us up. ????????

Re: Sea Kayaking Trip
Well it’s not exactly going kayaking into a typhoon, but we are going out to Wakayama and will check the conditions tomorrow morning before deciding whether to set out or not. I just don’t have enough time left to reschedule. Then again, I’m not gonna drown myself by being stupid, either. Surf’s up, dude!

From the Brink of Despair…
I just scared myself real good. I thought I’d lost my wallet. The thing is, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d seen it, and I hadn’t used it for a couple of days. My heart sunk further and further as each place I searched turned up empty… I was really fucked becuase my wallet contains really everything I need to survive in modern society. Driver’s license, gaijin card, bank card, postal savings card, credit card, health insurance card, hospital card, dental clinic card, latest bank statement, a million membership cards, business cards, a few vital phone numbers jotted down on a waxy napkin, pictures of my wife and family,…
