Spicy Catfish Salad

Unsurprisingly, a lot of the photos I took in Thailand were of food. This was a spicy salad with sliced onions, cashews, peanuts, fried chilis, green mango, tamarind, fresh lemongrass,…

    I’m on a kick looking for BGM tonight, because I need to start writing chapters 4 & 5 of my master’s dissertation tomorrow. I will be aided by my trusty steed, Dragon Naturally Speaking and all of these badass beats. Sometimes Lofi radio on YouTube gets old… And speaking of steeds, I’m planning selling my trusty CRF250M to help pay off Max’s upcoming trip to the states… Which looks likes it’s really gonna happen.

    Where art thou, Casiotone?

    January 26, 2019 /

    All throughout university, I lusted after a Groovebox… the object of my affections has changed several times since then. Not that I have the skills or anything, I just want to watch the cow: These used to retail for $1,000 when they were available. Here’s another great video, with even more cow: I actually don’t want the OP-1, I want a dedicated cow display with maybe one button to make it chew and kick start digestion.

    Why haven’t I heard about this until today? My new mission: Create an equally delicious Northeastern Thai version without ever having tried the original: Yam Praduk foo, pork rinds, gummy worms, and blood sausage cubes thrown together in a bag of Banana Party snack chips! Maybe I need to spend some more time planning first.

    Dear Nissan,Now that you have ousted Carlos-sama, can you please stop making horrendous cars?For example, no Skyline is worth a million dollars. Period. But this isn’t even trying: Now, it’s rumored that you gangstabbed your Caesar in the back because he wanted to fully merge Nissan and Renault, but really, at this point you need to look at Renault’s current product lineup compared to yours. Although many Renault products look quirky,  they are at least generically modern, while Nissan’s look like they were designed in North Korea: It’s not necessary for you to compete with everybody on all fronts, but please, stop making ugly-ass cars. Please go back to your…

    Sunset Cast

    December 11, 2018 /

    We visited a nearby reservoir, Kaeng Loeng Chan (they really need to simplify the official English spelling), on the weekend. They were holding a work rally to cover the newly-created Health Park with grass sod and quite a few people showed up to volunteer (or as a Thai would say, to make merit). We got bored of the manual labor after less than an hour and walked around the banks of the reservoir instead, taking photos and looking at dead crabs. The water seems too murky and oxygen-depleted to support fish close too shore, but they must be out there somewhere. Maybe I’ll take the kids fishing out there sometime.
