Turkey Day

Dear Diary,

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I was most thankful that Danny was not there. Oh, sweet sweet turkey day. I ate my own personal turkey and then a whole turducken. I've never been so full. Best yet, there were two sides of gravy. Delicious homemade focaccia bread. Scrumpcious stuffing. Oh so yummy. The next morning we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Hmm biscuits and gravy. And thank god Danny was not there.

I began wondering about the joys of Thanksgiving in other parts of the world. What do they eat for Thanksgiving in Malaysia? Do they eat turkey and gravy there too?

Tatutao

If only this were the island where they filmed Lost, the sentiment would be complete. But, Tarutao was just where they filmed SURVIVOR. So here I was, surviving on this island of monkeys about you.

Note: I rejected two additional films. One singing a song about how I prefer the company of monkeys to you, the other me mistake you for a rather homely looking monkey...

The Mangrove Forest

Ko Mook

I felt so strongly about this, I even wrote a song.

Let Me Now Inform You... of Your Gameinformer

Dear Diary,

Today was a good day. I fell asleep reading Gameinformer. So much witty highbrow critique of the latest what's what and who's who of the interactive electronic arts world. Most importantly I learned a valuable lesson that resonates with core principles of the human experience. In the latest Force Unleashed II DLC you can go to Endor and kill Ewoks. Yes, humankind's mortal enemy: cute midgets dressed up in furry teddy bear costumes. If this doesn't send you into dreamland, I don't know what will.

P.S.

Also, Final Fantasy is coming out with Final Fantasy XIV. I can't wait. Oh wait, yes I can.

This cat being awesomer than yours

In your world, my once-friend, your cat rules you. It shreds your clothing, poops in your shoes, and lazes about. Not here.

Here,  cats do shit. Look at all those amulets. No shopkeeper around, but they're all still there. Why? Super cat? Guarding these priceless amulets which bestow the powers of the Gods. If this was your cat, they'd all be gone. Zilch.

Yep, if your cat was here, it'd destroy Thailand in no time flat..

What's your cat's name again? Worthless Stinkerton. Ah yeah, that's it.

Oh, and below, an awesome soup. I didn't save you any. What's that?

Nope. All out.

No soup for you.

This soup lets you live forever. Have fun with mortality.

Now Jeff, you're probably saying, "Big deal, we have tacos like this is Austin." But your tacos are a sham--there is no equivalent for the Thai creme dessert taco in Austin. Sure, you could go to your local pizza hut and get one of those dessert pizzas, but it wouldn't be the same. Now go find a non-dessert taco to cry in, sucka!

These ladies are glad you're not here too.
