what happened to thursday night?

I don't know how it happened. but somehow, I forgot to post what happened for thursday night? oh well....

yesterday (friday) was one jam packed day for me. started the day out by going over to the american express office at noon. for lunch, I went to the sizzler over at siam center. this branch of sizzler is fast becoming my favorite. it's probably the biggest in bangkok. packed with college students and professional types. you can enjoy eating a good meal and doing people watching at the same time.

after lunch, for some reason, I decided to shop for some shorts. not really sure what brand to buy, I decided to go to mbk and look for them there. mbk has some retail stores that sell export quality clothing selling at unbelievable prices on the 3rd floor. I went to around a dozen shops before finding a place that sold high quality shorts that I was happy with. a little more expensive than the places that sell the 150 to 250 baht cargo shorts, this place sold the "orirush brand" for 500 baht. about 15 dollars. when I got home to try them on, I came away thinking I wanted to get another pair of these "orirush" shorts. discovered from one of the tags stuck to my new shorts that this orirush company has a website, AND a factory shop just a few blocks from my place. once I found this out, I made a beeline to the factory to check it out. get this. it is a factory outlet. and they have a sale right now. they had shorts for 200 to 300 baht a piece. got 2 more.

altogether, I spent like 4 hours shopping for these new shorts. tired. I took a short hour power nap before heading out to the parking lot at 9pm.

met up with hemingway. decided to head over to the big T to hangout. bumped into singapore jimmy, and tripod along the way. tripod tells me he just got into town.

from the big T, we went back to the parking lot using the "long route". by this time, it was around midnight. a number of lounge lizards came out of the woodwork to hang out...

roll call... timberwolf, dutch callahan, duece bigalow, singapore jimmy, mr. jeeves, craig constantine, jacques cousteau, jack dawson, hemingway, boris, tripod, lady puu, candle, hello kitty, baby.

one of the topics discussed last night was - what are you going to do for 4th of july? a number of us including me said - sleep in.

went home at 2:30am. 6 hours later, here I am doing this post. made myself this fruit smoothie made with fresh rambutans, ice, and an orange juice base. no plans for later this afternoon. may just go back to sleep. da brain coming in tomorrow morning.
