Oh, baby!, Photos, Work

So I took the fam on a trip with my coworkers from the English program last week. We went to Hua Hin, which I had passed through but not enjoyed…

    CREAM Piano

    February 1, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Wow, this title just gave me flashbacks of my Thai nicknames research… Anyway, this piano is firmly stuck in my head now. I can leave the player on loop, go teach a class, and come back to hear the piano still haunting my living room. Awesome. But hey, you know, if you’re going to go Wu-tang you have to remember where it came from as well: We should also remember some of the places it ended up going as well: Here’s more info on how these are related: ‘C.R.E.A.M.’: The Story Of A Sample The Amerigo Gazaway track at top just dropped today. You can see his work here: Wu​-​Tang…

    The sky looks like a painting. My new (probably fake) Alfa Romeo wing mirrors work a lot better than the old ones. Now adjusting them only takes two tries instead of five (check mirror, get out, walk over, adjust angle, walk back, sit down, repeat). Badass.

    Delfonific!

    January 26, 2019 / 2 Comments

    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 / 0 Comments

    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…
