this is me in the early hours of january 1st 2008 on the main beach in hadd rin on koh pha ngan in the gulf of thailand. i think i’m trying to put a spell on you with my magic pail of vodka.

surprising: i never threw-up.

not surprising: tom and i got in a huge fight and ended up not even speaking to each other. this is a new year’s eve tradition for us. the year before it nearly came to blows as we sat watching the fireworks over puerto vallerta. i guess there’s something about romantic sea-side relaxation and awe-inspiring beauty that fills us with murderous rage. next year we’re planning on giving each other minor disabilities in st. barts.

today, as i was walking along 3rd street to meet my friend sophia at the beverly center, i saw a guy dressed in saffron-colored buddhist monk’s robes riding a skateboard and feeding the meters as he passed. i wish i had my camera on me, it was pretty cool.
