On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

Tuesdays With iTunes

Every Tuesday iTunes has new free music, videos, and even t.v. shows (I figured out that when I go on around 9 or 10 pm PST Monday night the new stuff is posted), and if I'm lucky a free audio book (just an excerpt), but they never seem to have movies . . . . Well this week the music video was "Halfway Gone" by Lifehouse. It seemed pretty good and so I went ahead and got it. Well, lately my new favorite song is "Hey Soul Sister" by Train, and as a friendly suggestion by the "genius'" at iTunes I previewed the video. I love it. In the short 30 seconds I felt the video captured the essence of the song, and for $1.99 I will probably purchase it so I can have it forever, and not when it expires on youtube, and of course the quality will be better! But here it is for your viewing pleasure, and mine too--until I buy the video). It's like "deep fried chicken!"
