Desalination Towers

Actually, I have no idea what these towers are for, but they looked really neat against the sunset when I was driving home…

Now I need to figure out the Gravatar system. But not tonight. In the meantime, I’ve set the system to assign random ugly avatars to people without Gravatars. You’re welcome.

    The King of Thailand with a Nissan Cefiro A33

    January 30, 2017 /

    Some years ago, Nissan presented the King of Thailand, his majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej Rama IX, with the last Cefiro A33 produced in its one million unit production run in Thailand. A good car for a great king. As a show of respect for his passing last year, we have also decided to let our beloved car go. A keen buyer has been found, and we say goodbye to our faithful ride this Friday.

    For the racing boy in YOU!! Custom paint job by Wattana Sound. Hand lettering accent by Yoshida Garage. Catering to a younger demographic (the other kind of potential buyer, nostalgic old men who have wanted this car since it came out, might like it as well – the car bling runs strong in SE Asia) is hard work, but hopefully we can sell our trusty VIP ride very soon..

    Dripping Umami Bomb

    January 3, 2017 /

    Mina brought a hamburger bun stuffed with a fried duck egg over to my desk and said, “try some.” I was just waking up, so I told her I needed a minute. In that minute, the sandwich disappeared and I jokingly asked Mina why she didn’t save me any. “Cuz it was sooo gooood.” I fried up one of the duck eggs Nam’s sister gave us from her egg factory (she makes salted duck eggs out on her resort in the country) and threw it in a toasted burger bun with a slice of processed cheddar… UMAMI. BOMB. It was the best, messiest, umamiest egg sandwich, ever.

    I can just watch this again and again: — Can’t figure out which one I love more: — I love that OF COURSE someone knows which guitar he used (some kind of strat) to record my fav song of his, Once Upon a Time in the West: Gear on album Communiqué UPDATE: MY NEW FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO (note: you must change settings to play at 1.25x speed) — Now it would just be irresponsible if I didn’t link my favorite guitar documentary ever, but I recommend buying it in HD because this version is very low quality. Here it is, tho:
