Well, yes, I know it's been a long time. The last time I posted something was sometime in the summer, and my background has been a beach for many months. "Stuff" has happened, and I've either been too lazy to write about it, or annoyed with my computer's dysfunction (it seems to have grown a brain of its own). You probably hate recaps, so I'm not going to do that . . .
Recently, I saw the first installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and it was really really good. (I tell everyone that.) It also ended in a good spot, where there was a climactic scene, and a good stopping point so the second part can just . . . . go. (I also tell everyone that.)
It's almost the end of an era -- a decade of reading and re-reading, watching and re-watching Harry Potter. I don't confess to be a Harry Potter expert, but I will say I know quite a bit, enough to win trivia games. Harry Potter is the only series that I have been so dedicated to, next I would say is The Chronicles of Narnia, then The Twilight Saga (I only re-watch with friends never really because I love it and think it's so amazing). When I was a kid though, I really loved The Baby-Sitter's Club.
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).
