Mornin'. Have a good week, folks.
Hope the weather isn't as horrible over there as it is here.
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 1/19/09 at 8:06amDtwo, it really wasn't my fault. They drive motor bikes like idiots in Thailand. Many accidents and deaths every year. So anyway, I was in a taxi going to Chatachuk (weekend market) and the taxi parked next to a row of Tuk Tuk's (like those bikes in NY that carry 2 people, except motorized). Well I went to get out of the cab and some idiot with a whole family on the motor bike decided there was enough room between the taxi and tuk tuks. Luckily I didn't step out of the cab. No one was hurt. I left the taxi driver talking with the driver of the motor bike. My thai friend told me to just walk away. Needless to say it stopped me from enjoying my shopping experience.

I'm glad you weren't hurt, Boobs.
I did that once here in New York. I opened the cab door without looking and a bicyclist rammed right into it. No one was hurt, but the cyclist was furious and I was very embarrassed. And my doorman was laughing uncontrollably. He still teases me about it.

Posted: 1/19/09 at 8:18amYea..it seemed that the motorist was angry at the taxi driver. He looked at me and kind of went "oh". Guess he knew no matter what he said to me that I wouldn't understand anyway. Like I said, the bike kind of just skidded and went down sideways. I don't think there was any damage down to either the bike or taxi. It just had me shook up. Of course my Thai friends found it rather funny. They now taught me to look back before opening the taxi door.

Me too Shira. I really only bought one thing the whole 3 hours I was there...of course the next day I was pissed at myself for not picking up a couple of other things I wanted.

Speaking of shopping, I had an altercation yesterday in Bloomingdale's. Nothing quite so grand as the La Guardia incident, but let's just say the salesman got involved. And helped me.
It involved a foreign tourist on his cell phone in the sock aisle. 'Nuff said.

Posted: 1/19/09 at 8:28amWas he blocking the cashmere socks? It could get ugly.
#1865It's a New Year, Y'all
Posted: 1/19/09 at 8:32amWere you there, Shira?
#1866It's a New Year, Y'all
Posted: 1/19/09 at 8:33am
Nope. I just took a guess

Girly..there were 3 people. Luckily, the little kid was holding onto the handle bars, didn't even move when the bike went down. A pedestrian actually bike him/her off the bike. the person in back just jumped off. Like I said there were no injuries whatsoever. They just drive like idiots and then can't figure out why so many of them are killed every year. Phuket alone has 1,000 deaths a year from motor bike accidents. You'd think they learn. Most don't even wear helmets.
So there was no coffee thrown this time Dtwo? LOL

No coffee. A few choice words - the guy was French and was quite surprised when I matched him insult for insult. Then the salesman came over and asked "le f*cker" to take his call outside.
I then bought 8 pairs of socks. Yes, Shira, a few of them were cashmere. Red cashmere.
And J2 disappeared and reappeared, as if on cue.

Ooh, red cashmere. How lovely! I assume your shirts match, yes?
I like how J2 disappears during the scene. Adds to the story.
I need more cashmere in my life. I'll have to work on that.

Posted: 1/19/09 at 8:43am
You'll have to work for that, Shira.
ETA: Yes, of course the shirts match. Duh.

Mmmmm cashmere socks...I'll have to get me a pair of those. Right now I could use a good NY bagel *cough*
Anyone seen my poddie?
