Many bloggers, when feeling guilty for a long absense, will write an opening to their newest entry that always sounds like this: "I know I haven't written in a while, but I've been really busy." I am just lazy and only slightly busy.

First thing interesting that happended to me in this period of time was recieving a freelance photography job from Buckley Rumford. If flew to Chiang Rai, photographed some nice fireplaces in nice houses, then flew back the next day. I learned a bit about lighting figiting with my light kit and now see the reason some photographers will have two or three assistants to handle them.


School registration turned out to be a bit of a pain. I couldn't register Wednesday morning as I had thought, and had to wait until Thursday to add/drop. I basicly got scraps as most classes at time I wanted were completely full. I'm still pretty happy with what I got. Principles of Public Relations and Advertising, Critical Reading, Modern Presentation Techniques, Prnciples of Public Relations, Jurisprudence, Badminton, Art Appreciation, and Statistics for Scocial Sciences are all spread between Tuesday night and early Saturday afternoon. And VERY spread I might add. I'll be hanging out on campus a lot now.

I got an SMS right before class tonight telling me I got an A last semester in Interculture Studies. This was the subject I hated because there were no books and a 7 page essay final with only 2 hours to finish. Apparently saved by the curve. The University still hasn't released grades for most classes yet, everyone checks online daily. This particular course was one I was worried about, so an A is pleasing.

A guy on a message board asked me to deliver some gifts to Pup, from Potato, as he was a huge fan. He was a Vietnamese-American from Southern California, who enjoyed learning Thai from Potato songs and wanted to "repay" the band. Certainly very generous. We met at Central, where his wife has a clothing store. I took P'Oie, a producer, along as well, mostly as a witness that I was making this up. Pup ended up getting some really cool clothing, imported drinking water, and 4000 baht in cash along with a really cool thank you note.

Bom, told me a boss from Music Cream in Grammy should be calling me soon as he is interested in images for the upcoming Potato release. Not a new album, but a special one with a few new songs I guess. He hasn't called yet, so we'll see if I get the chance.

Just read the article you wrote on Rumfords in Thailand - great prose and good pix! Hope you think it's good work also and that you get more opportunities to write and photograph your stories.

Pretty good work, kiddo!

School schedule sound gruelling! Seems like a lot of classes for one term. Are you just ambitious or is this a normal schedule of classes?
