    A bit too one-with-naturistic frou-frou trees are screaming-ish for my tastes, but then again, I wasn’t the one attacked by a 7-foot Humboldt squid while dangling from a line at 250ft in the pitch black. Check it out: Dancing with Demons That guy’s got some serious huevos.

    Bad Karma (Thai Edition)

    March 9, 2006 /

    – A Thai who can’t eat spicy food. – A diabetic Thai. – A Thai with a peanut allergy. Any of the conditions listed above will ensure that the unfortunate party will almost never eat food outside their homes. In Thailand, the land of delicious food aplenty, that is just bad luck, and bad karma.

    UI Theory

    March 8, 2006 /

    No, not User Interface. Nor Ugly Imperialist. (for the purposes of this post, anyway.) PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS: Simply put, “ui!” is the sound of a Thai person in distress. Variations on this include, “uuui!,” “uuii!,” and “uuuuuuui!” (can you see my linguistics major paying off now?) If I unprovokedly poke my wife in the side, she might exclaim, “uui!” (she might just as soon sock me in the stomach and then demand to know what the hell I’m doing, but I did say “might,” right?) [English equivalent in this example: “Hey!”] If a Thai dude catches a whiff of (presumedly spicy) gas passed by his friend, he might say “ui!” and…

    Updating my resume…

    March 7, 2006 /

    …in preparation for the big move to Thailand in October. Haven’t done this for five years – just forgot how it felt, ya know? Honestly describe your professional history in less than a page, without boring anyone too badly OR sounding like you love yourself too awfully much. I know guys who get off on doing this kind of stuff, but I’m not too crazy about it.
