Day 86 (June 5) - Margaritas

It's hard to find Mexican food in Thailand. A couple of months ago, I would have said impossible, but we have found one decent Mexican place in Bangkok, and I had enchiladas on one of the islands, so, if not impossible just very, very hard.

Anyway, we found some on Friday night, and some passionfruit margaritas too!

Day 85 (June 4) - Bowling

We went bowling Thursday night. Bowling is not one of my talents; the best thing I came away with was this picture. Not really sure how to set one's white balance for blacklight.

Day 84 (June 4) - Lychees

Karl brought some of the really big lychees into work today. I like the little ones as well, and arguably their flavor is better, but nothing beats a mouthful of fresh, juicy lychee. Accordingly, during lunch I ate so many I felt a little queasy after.

But it was still worth it.

Day 83 (June 2) - A Leaf

Not much exciting today, just a leaf after the rain. We have rain every day now, so it's nothing that unusual.

However, I do have some good news! (Drum roll please!) Various from Ireland has given me a Kreativ Blog award on her blog (which I recommend you check out, she is a master wordsmith), and I am supposed to pass the award on to a few worthy bloggers out there. I will need a couple of days to ponder, but it tickled me pink to come home and see that yesterday. So, yay.

Serendipitous and unpredictable, these cyber-connections.

Day 82 (June 1) - More Bottles

You would think I was an alcoholic, but actually I often have a really hard time finishing even one beer.

I am addicted to this narrow depth of field thing. What's the equivalent of Methadone to wean me off of this?? Could I go cold turkey, back to f/8 or f/11? Even f/5.6 seems like a dismal prospect now.

Okay, one more for the road.

I swear, I can quit any time I want.

Day 80 (May 30) - More Out of Control Bokeh

In the spirit of the past few days, I have not changed the aperture on my lens a single time. It's f/1.8 or nothing.

Today I went to MBK, a huge mall in Bangkok with a couple of the other teachers from Nakprasit. This is a picture of a display of watches there. I felt okay taking the picture because I bought a watch from the lady at the booth; I think her first sale of the day.
