Adieu to You
On my last day in Siem Reap, I once again went to the Old Market to buy another pair of baggy pants. After stumbling upon The Blue Pumpkin Bakery, I picked up some macarons. Unfortunately, they were sort of crunchy on the outside. Kaya Spa gave me a very good one hour candle massage for $25; … Continue reading
I Want to Go Home
This past weekend was spent in L.A., not for any particular reason, but because I’m “homesick.” The trip didn’t start off all that well. My 8:00 a.m. flight on Virgin America was delayed until 9:15 a.m., though we weren’t actually airborne until about 9:45 a.m. A friend of mine had wanted to pick me up … Continue reading
An Oasis of Serenity
Saturday morning was my departure to Ubud. I’d hired a driver named Gede, who I’d met when getting a tattoo a few years ago at Demon Tattoo on Double Six Road. You can contact him through Mr. Rasta Transportation (62-831-1803-985). We’re friends on Facebook, too, so that helps as far as my getting in touch … Continue reading

I picked up 3 of them – one for my boy, A; one for my female boss, C; and one for myself. A. wasn’t … Continue reading
Dessert Dealer
More than a year ago, I got my main boss and a few other people addicted to cupcakes from a cupcake “truck” called CupKates. I would often see the CupKates truck on my lunch break when I was walking up/down California Street. When I bought one for myself, I occasionally bought one for my boss … Continue reading
Let The Games Begin
In reality, the games (in this case, the search for a new roommate) have already begun. They officially commenced Wednesday night and will be over this coming Tuesday night. I advertised the room on Sunday night and was immediately inundated with something in the realm of 30 E-mails, with about 10 to 15 more each … Continue reading
“Paris Is Always A Good Idea”
Do you recall that line from Sabrina? The ending of that movie always makes me tear up a little, though I never saw the original one – only the most recent remake. My flight to the City of Lights was mostly uneventful. It was slightly cold on the plane, however. As I wrapped my blanket … Continue reading
