I received this e-mail from a girl in England on Friday last week:
I’m just after some advice. I’m doing some traveling next year and I want to spend some time in Thailand. My Mum’s freaking at the idea, she thinks it’s too dangerous. Some of the books I’ve read have emphasized there is a lot [...]

OK so it’s not half past three, but it’s still late and the idea of sleep seems a little way off as I’ve drunk far too much M150 tonight. Once again there aren’t enough hours in the day for me to get my work done and do anything else. I had a brief nap when [...]

This is a script that I wrote for Lucky Cat TV. It’s a new project that I’ve become involved with and I think it’s a great idea that could develop into something much better. At the moment it’s in the preliminary stages, but if you click here you can see the first couple of attempts. [...]

I haven’t been able to blog much recently as I’ve been away in Koh Lanta this week, so before I have the chance to write about that or anything else, here is an article that was published a few weeks ago. It was written from the perspective of a soi dog. You may have read [...]

“What should I wear?”
“Just normal clothes.”
“What about shoes?”
“Just wear normal shoes.”
“What do I do when I get on?”
“Just act normal.”
The plan was simple: I was to make a journey along the winding roads of Bangkok with a girl who had never been on a bus before. “I’m going to complain all the way; you know [...]

I enjoy films that make me think about something outside of my own perspective. I had no idea what Babel was about. In fact, I had got it into my head that it would be similar to Troy; I think Brad Pitt being in it confused me.
From the offset, the first few scenes really did [...]

In what I can only describe as “strange news”, here are a few selected winners from last night’s Grammy Awards:
Record of the year
Not Ready To Make Nice - Dixie Chicks
Album of the year
Taking the Long Way - Dixie Chicks
Song of the year
Not Ready To Make Nice - Dixie Chicks
Best country performance by a duo or [...]

Last night I went to meet a friend, Ae, at Emporium for sushi. Will and Kitty showed up after watching a movie and Will, Ae and I went to the Japanese soi because we had nothing to do.
The bar we chose turned out to be, of course, a karaoke bar. It was tiny but felt [...]

I bought cigarettes today for the first time in I don’t know how long. After successfully quitting three months ago, or so I thought, I smoked three cigarettes on Friday just gone. It’s obviously nothing to do with a physical craving, but smoking seems to complement my mood at the moment. I’m not sure if [...]

I grabbed something to eat at Central World with one of the guys from work tonight, and on our way back we were greeted by this specimen:

Her name is Natalie Glebova and she was, apparently, Miss Universe 2005. I didn’t have my camera with me so this picture will have to suffice. I’ve never seen [...]

What could I ask the band that’s been asked everything a million times before? Thaitanium have been in every magazine, interviewed by every journalist in Bangkok and beyond. Well, this was my attempt to tread new ground with old material, digging up the differences with Way between life in Thailand and life in the US, [...]

Last night was the second time in the space of around a month that I have walked into a glass door without seeing it. I can’t explain how these things happen. I was at the Chicks Rock party and was not paying attention to where I was walking (because I was carrying a bucket of [...]

This is the strangest bit of news I’ve read for several months. I found this on the BBC website:
A 29-year-old convicted sex offender has spent four months at a US school after successfully posing as a 12-year-old boy, officials say. Mr Rodreick adopted the name Casey Price to attend Imagine Charter School, investigators say. He [...]

Now is the time to register for Glastonbury 2007. You can do so by visiting the official website. It’s been a while since I went to Glastonbury, but the three times I did go were probably three of the best times of my short life. Some things you just can’t put into words. If you’ve [...]
