Mafia Wars CEO Brags About Scamming Users From Day One
Sadly, this is probably not the exception for viral Facebook apps.
Burning bloodsuckers at Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
These vids were taken at the teacher’s accommodations we rented (House 109) at Khao Yai National Park from November 9 to 11, 2009. It rained every day, which brings the leeches out in great numbers. I had a few actually on my feet during different times, but none were on long enough to feast on my ambrosial blood. Too bad.

Part 1 is very blurry and hard to see, but contains brutal leech burning imagery as an added bonus:
Thai language note: These leeches, on land, are called “taak.” Ones in the water are “prin” (pronounced like pudding in Japanese without the hard “r”) The hand-sized ones in the water are called “prin quai” (buffalo leeches).
I’m back
Max is on my lap helping to go through the email backlog (actually, he’s singing to Gonzo’s Jamboree vid just now). Two things stand out about our trip this year: Our school’s secondhand Fuso 2-ton truck and the infamous leeches of Khao Yai.
More to follow.
To the mountains!
Tomorrow at 6:00 we leave our university for our International Camp at Khao Yai National Park. Max and Nam will take care of each other at home! The baby isn’t due for another month!! I’ll be back in a few days!!!
Tomorrow is Nam’s birthday!!!!
(bang bang bang) (!!!)

It’s getting harder to sleep
Mommy can barely get any sleep at all these days. Too heavy to sleep comfortably. Daddy wakes up at strange hours to rub her legs and shoulders. Mommy barely sleeping = daddy sleeping less, too. It’s only fair.
Plus, if I complain she might sit on me.
How to Convert the Thai Buddhist Era Year to Gregorian Calendar Year
Subtract 543.
That is all.
However, if you want to further convert that to Japanese Imperial calendar dates, this site sure comes in handy: NengoCalc
This year, 2009 AD, is also 2552 B.E. (Thailand) and Heisei 21 (Japan).
I think I have enough calendar systems in my life.
Gut Rumblings
I had the gnarliest gas at the gym today, but I made it seem like it was this old guy that everybody hates by following him around from machine to machine.
Karma may be a bitch, but I’m pretty sure God thought it was pretty amusing and should kick me down bonus juju points for it or something.

On less shocking notes, the new term has started at our uni, the weather has suddenly turned cool (21ºC/69.8ºF), Max has become a screamer unsuitable for taking shopping, and we didn’t partake in any Loy Krathong festivities this year because Nam is full of baby and I hate people.
