well, after searching around a little, I found a new game to play. it's an expansion set of another game I played last year. do you remember "Sins of the Solar Empire"? yeah. I played this game for like 3 months last year. they came out with an expansion set called "Entrenchment". I bought the game online for about 10 dollars. and downloaded the son-of-a-gun. I played Entrenchment for about 2 hours today. something to keep me busy now.
another day of staying at home. another SES day (aka sleep, eat, shit).
also been watching these old asian movies on tv. over here in bangkok, they have this all-asian (as in hong kong) movie channel called "celestial movies". full of old hong kong kung fu movies from the last 40 years. also showing the old scary movies about ghosts from hong kong. ..since I haven't seen most of these old movies, it's all new to me.
I think duece bigalow would love this channel. hehehe.
other than the above, all I did was pay the rent, and do 2 loads of laundry.
I've got 1:40am showing on my clock. still full of energy. guess I'll play some more computer game. then, hit the sack.
the plan for tomorrow... have to check out where that new thai immigration place is out near the old airport. almost time to renew my retirement visa. other than that, it'll be another SES day.

The Celestial channel! That is amazing. What cable package is that on? These are the guys who bought up all the rights to the Shaw Brothers films and restored them and put them out on dvd. I knew they had a channel but did not know they had it in Bangkok. I'd love to have that. Do you recall any of the titles? The Shaws put out films from all the genres - tons of martial arts but also musicals, dramas, comedies, horror and Chinese Operas. I may have to switch apartments when I come back just so I can geth this!
good luck on the immigration trip, BB. I've heard the facility is pretty decent, but a pain to get to.
