one night in bangkok...

this photo happened, but now those silly euro-shorts are torn and covered with my own blood, and the flip-flops have suffered the same fate, while i lounge in the most exclusive resort in northern laos...

losing a toe

i'm probably not.

but that would be super bad, wouldn't it?

you all should see it though.

i'll try to take pictures when i go back to the hospital in the morning.

then mechelle and i are off to chiang mai for a few days, luang prabang, laos, then vientienne, siem reap (angkor wat) on a pig and chicken flight or something that costs way to much money to be powered by dry old rubberbands. but awesomeness awaits, and so does veterinary treatment on my furry corpus.

i am becoming more like a monkey every single day.

i have so much more to say, but a baht a minute in my current economic crisis is pretty steep. that's like a dollar an hour!

woof woof...

...crash!

saw my own chin-bone yesterday.

hands arms and legs are pretty thrashed, skin-wise.

but i did get to see my own chin bone, which is cool, and they took an x-ray of my skull which looks like quite a nice specemin.

now i eat breakfast and go to another place where there are dogs to avoid crashing into so i can crash into streets instead.

woo-hoo vacation.

refugee camps don't have internet so much

everything is happening but sleep and then when i get to this island paradise this afternoon i will swim and sleep for days.

uganda and azerbaijan can suck it.

thailand is totally better.

and now i go out to dinner, i'm thinking thai? friday night we cinco de mayoed mexican in bagkok and got "meters of tequila" and then hilarity ensued.

yesteray it's just luke and me.

now it's just me.

swimming like a slicked up seal.

the fur makes me go faster.

i have seen an elephant and a monkey.

and lots of guns.

and made refugees from many countries smile.

what have you done lately?

and so because i am a better person than you could ever even endeavor to be, i am treating myself to beach bungalow perfection and thai massages and whatever i want for the week and then michelle flies to bangkok, which is a shit town, and then we adventure the seasia together.

i'm thinking more beach.

gotta go.

gotta go swimming with monkeys watching from the coastline.
