(yes the title of this Blog is named after Rob Blagojevich in honor of his new spot on celebrity apprentice. THANK GOODNESS HE'S BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT!)
Anyway let's get back to business in Thailand. I would like to apologize to all of my fans about totally slacking off in the blog writing department. Isaac has totally been carrying all of the burdon of blog writing and I am sorry. I told him that it's because he's so much more talented and prettier than I am but he only accepted that excuse 100 times. His ego really needed the boost. He feels much better about himself now so I guess I should just write on the blog.
I can't think of too many exciting things that are going on over here except we did have some awesome political turmoil a few weeks ago. I don't really think I should give too much info because I don't want to end up like Claire Danes in that movie: Brokedown Palace. Anyway the short version is that these people are dressing up in red and they don't like the government so they have parades and stuff. I got to see one of the parades on the way downtown on saturday. They were all happy and carrying flags and riding in the back of pickup trucks and on motorcycles. It reminded me of baseball parades except there are no grenades at baseball parades........at least I don't think..........
Anyway, don't worry. They only throw grenades at banks and I don't think I look like a bank, although Isaac may beg to differ.
In other news, Isaac and I spent a really nice day at the mall all day on saturday which was great for our relationship. haha that was a JOKE! Going to the mall together all day with your husband is NEVER a good idea. Nothing makes men crankier than having to spend more than 30 minutes in the mall without buying electronics or going to the movies or something. The good news is that I got a new outfit despite the fact that Thai stores don't carry clothes that are anywhere CLOSE to my size. I felt like I was shopping at children's stores. Actually, maybe I was in children's stores. I still haven't learned how to read Thai. dang.
Isaac and I ended up splitting up (he went to look at cameras, we didn't break up! Don't worry, Dad, we were able to salvage the marriage. You still have your favorite child, Isaac.) and we met up at this student exhibit at the mall of artwork by kids from our school. It was the perfect combination of sexual stuff and swears. Honestly, one of the paintings just had the F word written all over it. Another one was a naked female body being ground up in a meat grinder. It was pretty interesting/disturbing but I guess it was a memorable artistic experience. Nothing says art like the F word and nudity. All of the meat grinder art made us hungry so we went to Outback for steak. Mmm beefy.
Random story: On friday we had a few wierd encounters with our neighbors and Isaac took a video to share so let me take some time to explain. When we arrived home from work, we noticed that there were all these people in front of our neighbor's house and they had built this 2 story shrine thing with gold and money all over it. They also had these gigantic speakers and a band in the street and they were playing music and whatnot. We figure that they were finally welcoming us into the neighborhood. It took them long enough. Sheesh! We're still waiting for them to drop of the gold and money at our house.....
ALSO, when we got home we found some OTHER neighbors in our yard and they seemed to be telling us that there were 4 snakes in our front yard. We looked around and couldn't find them anywhere so hopefully they're in the house. Last time there was a snake in the house, I ran at Isaac with a knife. Really it was just a coincidence. I happened to be chopping up vegetables when I saw the snake and I didn't want to drop the knofe because, obviously, I didn't want the snake to use it against me! OBVIOUSLY. Isaac freaked out about the knife and totally overreacted. But he did use his snake charmer skills to get the snake out of the house........after moving every pience of furtniture and running around like a little girl. He's my hero! I love you baby! :) Seriously.
Ok I think those are all of the stories I have for now. Hopefully I won't wait 4 months before my next blog.
Thanks for reading!,
Becky
