Dire!

Listening to the radio and reading the online papers things look so grim and I agree with this title Age of Stupid. It seems that the Western world is sliding into a huge pile of manure. To me, all these polticians and experts are little better than utter morons, horribly corrupt and greedy as sin. I can never get over this term entitlement and how Man expects everything. I see in Indonesia they are killing the last of the tigers who have started attacking the illegal loggers (which, of couse isn't illegal and government backed, or at least the cunt who claims to be government). So small is the remaining rainforests that the few remaining tigers have nowhere to go. Did you know they are hunting them with machine guns? Probably the greatest species that we have successfully wiped of the face of the Earth as the fucking cat is getting in the way of progress.

Glad to see Obama attacking the AIG bonus payouts. I see cuntman Dick Cheney is on the fizzbox slating Obama for the reversal of policy.

Like I was saying to Danny, what is so idiotic is that how different US policy is from one president to the next. Shouldn't it all be moving in roughly the same direction. The utter change in policy at that level is so stupid. Talk about polar opposites!

It seems to me that the civilised world is driving a giant bulldozer with everyone fighting over the controls heading towards a huge waterfall.

Time to jump off and head to the hills.

Russian troops in Afghanistan.

Awesome war flick.

Thanks to Rob for reminding me to take some snaps of Oi while pregnant.

Generation RX

Listening to John Zerzan's radio show, he mentioned a new documentary, "Generation RX". It's about the drug companies getting children hooked on anti-depressants and the like.

Nasty stuff.

I watched another amazing movie today; "The Boy in Striped Pajamas."

An incredible film and with David Thewlis.

Glad to see Prince Charlie has told the world to wake up. And today on Any Answers/Any Questions with David Dimbleby, there was a lot of serious discussion about the impending doom. I was surprised at the amount of people calling in and at the level of fear and acceptance of what's coming down the line.

Personally, I have been fairly sociable of late and have met up with the boys as often as I can. A lot of expats here live in a room and never go out. I fight that and am determined to remain as social as possible. Thanks to Peter for teaching me valuable tip.

The holiday is going very well and now Oi has finished work and college and we have been having a relaxing time together.

Check out those movies.

Prime Cut

I have just watched one of the best movies I have ever seen and I can't believe it evaded me for all my life. Prime Cut stars Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman and Sissy Spacek. It blows the shit out of so many movies trying to do the same thing; namely Taranino. He never did one this good. Do whatever it takes to see this movie, just don't die beforehand.

Other news, Tom left for BKK yesterday and going to the States on Sunday to chill in Phoenix at his mum's and then to follow the Grateful Dead all over America on a gruelling 2 month gigfest. I wish him well. Tom is an awesome guy. Always up to party and as good as gold. I have spent a lot of time with him of late and every minute has been a blast.

The holidays are going well and Oi and I spend our days relaxing. I am doing a 3000 piece jigsaw and playing Burnout Paradise (an awesome car game). Oi sleeps, watches TV and plays the hidden item games. It has been great. We are biding our time for the baby and all the shit that will go down when it happens.

We have to move house before then as mum's a plenty will descend and we want to be somewhere with a garden and enough space for me to escape from the teeming masses that will surely dawn.

The trip home is looming and I try not to think about it too much. It's the flight I dread and the process of traveling to the other side of the globe. I thought I had hung up my traveling boots long ago, but duty calls and I must venture into the world once more. It will be great to drink ale again, see Shamus, see the English countryside, see mon frere executed, mum, Nick, eat Spanish ham and drink Spanish wine, see Raffa, Peter, Joel, Jimmy V, Marc, Marsha, Andy, Matty Beck and my sister Tish.

Yes there are many good things to look forward to. I will have to visit the chemist and dose myself up for the plane journey. I will just keep my shoes on in case I have to run over burning steel.

And then I will return to the birth of a child and join the ranks of Jimmy V and Peter.

Sounds good to me.

Tomb Raider

Yesterday I went with Don up to the border to buy some goodies from the duty free stores near Malaysia. We took the back road which we had to find first, but it was well worth it. We saw some great scenery and it was a very quiet road. We had breakfast with the farmers who were totally freaked out by us. My rear tyre blew and I had to get it changed in a village. The guy changing it told us about some things to see near by. After my bike was fixed we went down one of the little track and came face to face with this amazing temple.

We wandered around and there was a cave network too which we explored.

Then we headed on to Padang Basar where we bought wine and chocolate in the duty free.

We came home via Sadao and I called in at Egg's house and met his dad. Then I went to my old school, Kritsana and gave some old friends a real shock. It was a great day.

UNfortunately, in the evening my eyes were really dry and I rubbed them a bit to hard and have removed the tissue from one eye. I passed out and ended up in hospital. I have to go back today to see the eye specialist.

Also have been enjoying 2 player Ice Hockey fun with Tom on the PC and continuing my search for strange and wonderful movies.

More Movie Megathon

Where will it all end?

Today I have watched most of MASH. The original Robert Altman movie and very funny it is too.

Tonight, being Monday and the beginning of this enormous holiday, I have invited Tom and Don over to an extra movie night. I am tempted to screen This Sporting Life with Richard Harris as I have ne'er seen this one. But there are many now to choose from. Here's a rundown of the current list;

Hair
The Man Between
The Man with a Gun
Leave Her to Heaven
Kansas City Bomber
Rachel and the Stranger
Geordie
The Fortune Cookie
Quintet
Lord Jim
Three Days of the Condor
Lady in Cement
Hudsucker Proxy

Many more to come.
