This is the funniest story I have heard in a while.
We got an email the other day from Brian's Mum, detailing the first few weeks of law school for Brian. Now, Brian keeps warning me that he'll be so busy at school and not to expect to see him much. (I know what professional school is like...I went to journalism school, remember? Sorry, just had to pick myself up from the floor...that was a good one.) In the first week Brian has a Welcome Lunch, a buffet breakfast, a bowling night, a softball tounament, a golf tournament and later in the month a dinner and dance. I want to go to law school...I love bowling.
Last night we flew home from Koh Samui. That's right - we flew...no more fourteen hour bus/boat rides for this girl. It took an hour to get here. The Koh Samui airport looks like a cross between "Gilligans Island" and a night safari. I hate flying, and let me tell you, seeing an airport made of cocunut trees without a roof made me a little nervous...but it was cool.
In a few days we wil fly home. I can't believe it...it's been so long and this year has been very eventful. Brian and I are starting to try and figure out where we are going to live and what we are going to do. Buy? Rent? Car? Bus pass? The difficult thing is that most of the answers depend on me and what kind of job I get. Gulp...a job. I have no idea what I want to do and for the next few years at least I am going to be the "bread winner". That's a lot of pressure. My two little brothers are both still in univesity and they have jobs lined up for when they finish...good ones. Brian will be a lawyer. What the hell am I? Part scientist, part journalist? Sheesh. My Mom keeps reminding me that I will need to get a job right away (like I didn't know) and the pressure is mounting. All I want is to go back to school (that's all I ever want) and Brian just wants to work. If only we could switch places...or win the lottery.
Brian is out filming his movie today and I am hanging out in Bangkok solo. No worries...I know this place like the back of my hand now.
In more random news:
1. What the hell is with this blogger/comment spam going around? It's seriously pissing me off.
2. Way to go out Mr. HS Thompson. I like it.

CNN had the best Hunter S. Thompson headline -- "Gonzo" writer Thompson gets one last high.
Supposedly google is going to fix the spam issue soon. Bunch of yahoos
Was passing by, thought I'd mention that Blogger has implemented a word-verification option for the comments. You can read about it here: http://buzz.blogger.com/2005/08/word-verification-for-comments.html . Dunno if it would help, but it might be worth a try.
My mom has interesting nagging techniques. She'll call me at 9 or 10 at night and ask me what I had for supper. This translates to: Have you eaten yet today?
I always tell her I dont want to eat because I believe that it's a consumer-culture scam and that people don't actually starve to death. Then she gets flustered so I tell her I had a can of beans an hour ago.
Moms are sneaky. Watch out for them.
