(I’m hanging out at the airport lounge in Kuala Lumpur…had an AWESOME time and I have so much more to post about, but not right now…!) Instead, I’m going to embed this:
Category: Really Deep Thoughts
Tomorrow’s it…
Holy Hell, how did it become the second Wednesday of my two week vacation in Kuala Lumpur?? How is it possibly that it is already noon? And that tomorrow’s my last full day here? Our flight to Langkawi leaves Friday at 8:30 AM so I’m not counting Friday as a KL day. There’s so much…
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…
Down with the sickness…
I suspect I’ve used that blog post title before, which is why I’m glad the permalinks are now by post number and not title because otherwise hilarity would ensue. Anyway… so, Gene was sick starting Thursday night. He even missed work all day on Friday. I know! Escandalo! We had dinner at the Mediterranean restaurant…
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…
WTG USA
A few hours ago, I went down to read next to the pool and have lunch. At that time, Obama was in the lead with around 190 electoral votes. The BBC was very careful to not call any races too early so their totals were usually different from CNN.com’s totals (really, CNN? Calling Kentucky with…
Malaysia: The Reaaaaal Asia
(that’s the catchprase for a Malaysian tourism campaign, so I have been treated to seeing it and hearing it a trillion times since…well, technically we were still in the air the first time I heard it). (So yeah, definitely the real Asia – I can’t get real bacon to save my soul). (And I’m rapidly…
