Had a wonderful break in Chum Pon and Koh Chang last week. Om (Oi's baby brother) did his monk thing and we shot off to the island for some very cool chilling. I relaxed so much and Grace and Oi had a great time on the beach. I read Maughm's The Narrow Corner. Awesome and much appreciated.
Back in old Hat Yai now and a 2 day English camp to attend tomorrow. I've made a fishing game with the magnets.
I have private work most days but am also relaxing with movies. Today I watched "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and yesterday, "The Descendants". Both were brilliant.
I can feel the winds of change blowing and strange things keep pointing to new things. I have a lot of trouble coming to terms with things these days; careers and stuff I just don't understand. MAybe its the media that keeps me thinks we are are always on the edge of a great tipping point. More and more my own life seems the higher priority and I find myself dispairing at humanity. I love some of the gadgets we produce but hate all the crap that gets produced to fulfill this dying circle. Plastic, oil.... it's the snake eating his own tail. Maybe I have been reading that quote for too long about beware of the man who puts a fence around some land and claims it as his. When you are born into a world where everything is owned, what chance do you have?
Been listening to some Springsteen and just feel in love with Call Me by Sinatra.
Got a bunch of movies to watch. Gonna try to keep the games to a minimum, though Mass Effect 3 is out and great fun.
Saw a bit of The Gods Must be Crazy the other day which Oi knew all about, strangely. That is so funny.
ok, running low now....

The Narrow Corner and The Men Who Stare at Goats both masterpieces and hugely satisfying. Had a hunch The Dependents was going to be excellent and have been trying to see it.
Glad you've been getting some quality time. It gives us a chance to think straight.
Cheers.
