Was a bit sick on Monday with a cold. Monday night through to Tuesday morning was a bitch for certain. All this week work in my regular accounts has run out by noontime, and the afternoon hours have been lax.
Bought the fourth book in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan... yet another 1,000 pages of SciFi/Fantasy empty calories. (I did finish reading "The Quiet American" in between though, if that's any literary consolation.)
Today was Buddha's birthday, otherwise known as "Vesak" or in Thai, "Khao Phansa" — the most holy day in Buddhism. No alcohol is sold in the Kingdom today, and all the bars are closed. Therefore, Stan had Mark and myself over for dinner and drinks tonight. (We also watched "Mythbusters" on The Discovery Channel.)

Hey- so there is a huge buddhist temple around the corner from our house (which used to be a Masonic temple!), and they built this crazy stage out front with a model of buddha standing there in front of what looks like a neon wheel of fortune, and they painted two signs on each side saying Happy Birthday Buddha! in English and (I'm pretty sure) Vietnamese. It looks like the county fair over there at night. Pretty cool. :)
