Amsterdam, Monster and Delft.
Yesterday I was in Amsterdam. When we left the airport at six in the morning the first thing I smelt was, in fact, the smoky sweet smell of cannabis. A couple of unsavory sorts were sitting across from us, cackling like mad, stoned hyenas. We had to wait a while to get picked up and it was a lot colder than Bangkok- probably about 20 degrees on ( Read more... ) -
let's go!
I wasn’t going to update until Holland, but our flight isn’t until midnight and yesterday was too amusing not to recount. Think John Safran vs God meets Lost in Translation. We decided to spend the day looking at Temples (Thailand is predominantly Buddhist if you didn’t know), and so we took a cab to Wat Pho (giant reclining golden Buddha). Wat Pho ( Read more... ) -

Friday night. The stark realization that we are in fact very far from home Toto. It was my first night on the streets of Bangkok and I suppose I began to realize what a big change this is. Where I am. It was confronting, and I think the pollution, crowds, sweat, prostitutes (EVERYWHERE- in mostly non Christian countries there isn’t much shame about ( Read more... ) -
Bangkok day 2, and the wind is weary
Sawatdika, mofos.
If you ever want to pretend you’re a giant ogre, then Bangkok- actually I’m assuming most places in Asia-is the place to go. I’ve not seen one woman taller than me, and the men are pretty few. Yesterday we got to Bangkok after a four hour delay in Sydney airport. That was joyous. At three am the first thing I noticed as I stepped ( Read more... ) -

Today I put the puppies in a basket and brought them inside to feed them formula with a little syringe-esque instrument. I’ve been playing them music since they have already learnt to recognise my voice. They enjoy Matisyahu, Morcheeba and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Fucking hippies.
They also like foreign films with Gerard Depardieu.
There's ( Read more... ) -

I feel I should write something since I haven't written in so long. I just don't think I have anything all that worthy to write about, and the things I do want to say aren't really the sort of thing you'd post in a livejournal.
Let's see, points of semi-interest:
1. Clare and I are going to produce a half-hour show for community television. The ( Read more... ) -
YET ANOTHER ENRTY! Ffff-yeeeeeeeeeeeah!
1. So I'm sitting here, listening to Daft Punk, and I think... "Why am I listening to Daft Punk?"
2. Most of today I have spent doing travel planning. I hope my dad likes cemeteries.
3. I decided to clear some of the files off my computer and I found an old list of things I wanted to do before I die. I changed some of them and added about 20 new ( Read more... ) -
Buttchum.
The last few days have been... "fucking strange."
Thank-you Julian.
On Thursday I got this needle-pickling call from my mum. To scrumpt it up, her anti-depressants have fucked her up and she is now on an anti-psychotic drug. Sweet! So we went away to the Bunya Mountains for four days. A crap four days might I say?
"Yes, you might..."
Okay, well they ( Read more... )
