from the Suvarnabhumi Airport - Bangkok
ahh, free wireless internets and a Dairy Queen Blizard. What could possibly be better. OK - maybe coffee, but I wanna sleep on this flight tonight - and no luck with a business class upgrade :(
I'm actively downloading pix from one camera to the laptop - I'll do some editing of I can't sleep on the flight. I did a bus tour around the old parts of Bangkok and visited a few temples. Of course it ended at a gift shop. I wasn't keen on buying gems and the place just seemed like a big tourist trap - since I didn't bother buying anything the driver they gave me to take me back to my hotel took me to the wrong Holiday Inn. Jerks. He got it right in the end.
Update: The DQ manager is doing job interviews at the next table. I can see the candidates face over my notebook. This one's really nervous, more so than the last (who kept looking at me, but I didn't pick up on what's going on.) Then there's the other guys stuffing fries into his mouth - sitting basically next to the candidate. Dude - do you have an office you could do this in? Or maybe this is all a test to see if the candidates get put off by such distractions - na, not for a DQ job. I have my headphones on so I can't hear - it would be in Thai anyway.

oh cool, someone is playing 'Lump' - I like that song, oh wait, it's their ring tone.

self from inside a water glass
got a new toy yesterday. Olympus 725SW - we've been wanting a small compact for a long time (for climbing and business travel mostly) and this one is shock resistant (will survive a 1.5M fall with no problem - not tested yet) and is waterproof to 5M. Last night, at the pub, I had to try out the waterproof so this picture is taken with the camera fully submerged in a glass of water.

if you are reading this
then you are lucky - our ISP has been flaky over the last few days leaving our blogs down more then they have been up. It seems to have been on line for a good 4 hours now... dunno if it's 'stable' yet... oh, Telstra BigPond Cable if you are keeping score.

weekend update
Saturday: house hunting. To sum it up we found the perfect pace which was unfortunatly located directly in line with the busy north/south runway of Sydney Airport's(that's the long one that 747s use.) And, um, the best part about living near the airport is that it doesn't take long to walk home... - no.
Sunday morning: Gym climbing at Climbfit. Hey Tim - I did that V3 (Green Marble) bouldering problem that was giving me grief a few weeks ago. I knew I had to repeat it - fell twice, then sent it a second time. Tried another V3 and that one went just fine. Third V3 - um, no, I was a bit cashed at that point. Now - apparently V3 is about equivalent to 5.11c/d which is putting me pretty close to where I left off climbing some 10 years ago. 5.12a is looking pretty good for a 12 month goal.
Sunday afternoon: Hung out with Rodd and Kris for a while and had a wee play with their wii. (I think Amy has some shots of me 'boxing') and then stopped by Morgan's to sit for his portrait project.
