So, if you haven’t read CNN.com lately, go freaking read some news stories about what the fuck is going on in Thailand and India. OMG OMG OMG. One of the Americans who went to KL with us is in Thailand right now on vacation. Gene said that one of his co-workers has heard from her…

1977: A Moderately Better Year For Music
(Same rules as the 1995 post below, just with slightly less sucky music) 1. Tonight’s The Night, Rod Stewart (creepy video and I have trouble believing Rod Stewart was ever sexy) 2. I Just Want To Be Your Everything, Andy Gibb 3. Best Of My Love, Emotions 4. Love Theme From “A Star Is Born”,…
1995: A Pretty Crappy Year for Music
So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to…
Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt. 3)
I once wrote a scene where the main character has just hit the jackpot and is reclining in luxury. One morning, she wakes up, pads out to the kitchen and sits down. She stretches and thinks “What do I have to do today?” and she realizes, happily, the answer is “Nothing.” That is pretty much…
Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt 2)
(BTW, I have called these posts “A Look Back” although I’m only one week into this and I’m still sitting in the hotel in KL). So, approximately 800 hours after we left Cheesecake City, we finally make it to our layover in Frankfort, Germany. We knew that our layover on the way to KL was…
Malaysia: A Look Back in Humidity (Pt.1)
So the story begins a week ago, back at the house in Cheesecake City. It’s 5:30 at night, the bags are packed (I’d even put White Dog in my carryon). It’s Halloween but since our ride to the airport was to pick us up at 6 I hadn’t bought any candy. We never have any…
23 hours til departure…
This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
Mama told me there’d be days like these…
Ugh… Dog barf at 5 AM (with a repeat show at 8 – so much for getting to work early), payroll all day. Someone wake me up when I need to get on an airplane. (In 16 days. AUGH…!!!!) So, I’ve been extra anxiety filled lately. I have woken up anxious (that is, worried) three…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
