You know you both complain and text too much when your
texting buddy, after not hearing from you for 24 hours, thinks you’ve early
terminated your Peace Corps service. Thanks for being there, Joel. Sorry my
phone was dead.
Today I went to Thailand’s answer to the box store, Big C.
They had a sale on electric fly zappers. I thought about it and seemed kind of
wanton to zap all the flies. Now at home I’m swarmed by flies
and zapping them seems like a nobler pursuit.

My corner neighbor teaches the neighborhood children English
every Saturday and Sunday. When parents drive by to pick-up/drop-off their kids,
they probably notice the lazy Farang, napping in plain sight, not teaching
English. They probably wonder what good it is having a pet white person if she
isn’t even going to teach English.
