Hoi, polloi!

It’s Tuesday morning the 16th and we are chilling in Bali. We left Vietnam for Singapore Saturday morning and spent Saturday night and Sunday in Singapore. Got to Bali about 11:00pm on Sunday night. We’re staying at the very nice Bali Hyatt resort at Sanur, the same place we stayed for Christmas 2008. Tomorrow we [...]

Blackout

Just as we were packing for our trip tomorrow, our power went out for a couple of ours. We ate dinner by candlelight, and then went riding around on my motorbike for about an hour because there really wasn’t much to do in our hot, dark apartment. Here’s the strange view from our window – [...]

Late Afternoon Boat Walk

I’ve been noticing that there were a lot more boats than usual docked alongside the river next to our apartment building, and kept thinking maybe I could take some nice photos of them, so this afternoon I went out and gave it a shot:

Tomorrow: Honeymoon!

Tomorrow (Saturday), we’re off on our official honeymoon. One night in Singapore, then six nights in Bali.

(There were actually four novels, but they condensed them into three films.) All three films – which are all very interconnected – were excellent. Especially considering that they [...]

Upular Remix

43km Tonight

Got to burn some calories before our honeymoon in Bali next week as there is a lot of great food in Bali and I don’t plan on holding back.

Pandas!

I don’t have a big thing for pandas (that I know of), but this photo is too cute: Aren’t pandas actually supposed to be vicious? It seems like I read that somewhere.

Orangwutang Word Cloud

I thought it might be interesting to create a word cloud out of my whole blog to see what words I’d used the most, etc. It was a little more involved than I thought it would be – and frankly not that interesting. First, I had to export my blog as an XML file, which [...]
