• _Fall of Giants: Book One of the Century Trilogy_ by Ken Follett So…I think this may be near the end of my summer reading books. There might be time for just a couple more before real life returns and I do not have as much freedom to read, but we shall see. 😉 Anyway, after reading _The Pillars of the Earth_ by Follett, I was not so sure if I would read another…

  • Aside from going out to see the famous islands around Phuket, there is not a lot to see on the island itself. However, there are a number of main sights and we finally saw the last ‘big’ one the other day. Up on the mountain overlooking the cities of Phuket is a big white Buddha. At night it is lit up and during the sunny days it shines atop the mountain. It’s kind…

  • In case the preview post has been keeping you up wondering what it is a preview of…. For a while I have been contemplating another tattoo and known that I wanted something that would go nicely on my shoulder. It was a bit of a dilemma since my other two tatts are located in places that are easy to hide. Also, there’s that part of me that thinks I may someday return to…

  • Just a short week left away from the desert heat and eye candy of the brown pajama people. 🙁 The weather has been wonderful the past few days, which is awesome!

  • This is an interesting new feature to the site called ‘status’. I think it is something like an FB status update…Too bad there isn’t an emoticon section and then I can just play with smiley faces! 🙂

  • My normal schedule has been completely turned upside down, inside out and backwards. I am not exactly sure how it happened, but upon arriving in Phuket, I have given Rip Van Winkle a run for his money! 😉 So, I have started staying up until 2am or later. Even if I go to bed at midnight, I end up reading until nearly two. Sometimes, we watch movies until late. Then, while I used…

  • _Oryx and Crake: A Novel_ by Margaret Atwood I have a read a few of Margaret Atwood’s novels and really enjoyed them, but as they are more science fiction, I do not often think to read more of her novels. During one of our BBQ parties, we were talking about the future world and overpopulation, etc. (We might be a bit nerdy… ;)) This title came up and I was curious to give…

  • We have been doing a lot of relaxing here in Phuket, so much so that I have hardly taken any pictures! (shocking, right? ;)) Despite our sleeping and chilling schedule, we have been doing quite a bit of exercise between using the gym, swimming at the pool and doing walks along the beach when the weather is reasonable. I am determined to get myself slim and trim again. The idea of having a…
