Things change fast in Asia...

just as Dave would always say.
I just got off the phone with Khem and he is booking our tickets to Nepal as I type this.  The date for me leaving started at Jan 22, which I later found out I was mistaken, and it was Jan 24.  However, the 24th was no good, so it was pushed to the 26th or 28th because the flights to Nepal only leave every other day.  Then the 26th was out because of plans, so that left the 28th.  Now the tickets will be on the 30th.  This is fine by me actually, I'll still have 4 days in Kathmandu, instead of 6 or 8, and the actual trekking date hasn't and won't be pushed back so, whatever... Wednesday I'm going in to the consulate and getting my Nepal tourist visa.
I went and saw Invictus with Katy last night, really good movie, although I wouldn't expect any less from Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Matt Damon.
I painted the free wooden desk that I got from T.I. green yesterday, I had to do it on the little sliver of a balcony we have outside.  I could only get oil paint, that why it needed to be outside.  I still need to borrow a drill to repair it completely, It is functional, but not rock solid yet.  I'll post some pictures when I get it set up inside.
I'm going to try to make some homemade bread today and some ghee so my roti might turn out like it should. 
I just received preliminary confirmation of a Lapsap Band reunion, Nate has already confirmed his return to Hong Kong and James is in the negotiation stages, whoo! I'll have a reason to play my crapjo, I mean banjo again.

  1. That thing about O'Brien/Leno is rubbish. Like I ranted last night, they didn't even give O'Brien a chance. Can we all spell "unprofessional?"

    I like the picture of the desk! I commented on it, but don't know if you check for comments on the other blog...

    Hope the ghee and bread are coming along successfully!!

    Cathay City was freaking COOL. The whole time the staff was showing us around, I was thinking, "I wish Adam could be here to see all this!!!" I'm going to try to find my USB cable now, and see if I can get the videos off my Nokia and onto facebook, but I'm not sure what the quality is going to look like.

    Speak to you later!!
