man, I know some of you....

probably thought I died because I didn't post for a few days. ..actually, what happened was - my internet connection got messed up, and I couldn't really post because the speed got down to like 80kb. 56k is your dial-up speed. and you know how slow that is.

anyway, it seems everything is back to normal now. thank god!

so, what happened in the last days, you ask?

in a nutshell... the day after my last post, I just stayed home because the that day was also a thai holiday. absolutely nothing was happening.

the next day - thursday - I did go to the parking lot. but it was dead just the same. so, I left for home early. I got a call from brad pitt. he was in town for a day. told me he is going to the PI to meet up with skyman. coming back in around the 18th. yeah. he gets around. oh yeah. almost forgot. did another workout with da brain. and also, pigged out at the sizzler next door with him after the workout. that was the big event of the day.

yesterday - friday - I was quite busy. woke up early to go to the american express office to settle a problem with my amex card. finally got the issue resolved. afterwards, I did this hotel project for a friend. combed all the hotels up and down a few streets near where we all hang out. altogether, I checked out like 30 hotels to see what their current daily rates are. in between the investigation, I went over to this supermarket, and found to my pleasant surprise that they had a sale on "cheez-it" crackers. man, when I was still living in the states, I ate these things all the time for snacks. yes, it has been almost 10 years since I last ate these things. boy! was I happy to snack on a box of these guys after so many years. get this... they were going for 34 baht a box while on this sale. I plan on going back later tonight to see if they still have any boxes for sale. probably not. but who knows? right?

after 4 hours of checking out all the hotels and their rates, I went home for a power nap. got back to the parking lot at around 11pm. lots of lounge lizards out and about.

roll call.... timberwolf, dutch callahan, diamond jack, kilroy the stud, tokyo mark, dalai lama, the smothers brothers, craig constantine, mr. jeeves, duece bigalow, hemingway, sam sloane, handsome chris, jack dawson, that girl, cherries jubilee, cutie pie 2, drew, bambi, giggles.

it was a good night for hanging out. had fun. got home at 3:30am. ..that was last night.

today, got a call from da brain. meeting up with some of the gang for a farewell dinner at 7pm. maybe do another workout before the dinner. that's the plan.

am hoping to see mike jagger one of these days. heard he is back in town. that's all the news for now.

bye.

How about a Hotel report? Always interested in current conditions.
