    Overheard at Big C

    March 3, 2026 /

    I picked up Mina at school a couple days ago and we stopped by (the about to die at any minute) Big C on the way home to do some shopping for the few things it’s worth going there for – coffee beans, pistachios, keto sweetener. Mina overheard a staff dude asking one of the butchers in the meat area,”do chickens have spines?” The butcher confirmed kind of incredulously that they do, indeed, have spines. This set Mina off laughing for a good couple minutes. Then we got to the checkout, where either my pronunciation when I asked the old lady running the register if they had bags was off,…

    fish balls? pig balls? beeg balls?

    February 19, 2026 /

    This is Thai luk chin (ลูกชิ้น). I believe they were served at a highway noodle resto between Sarakham and Borabu on a uni trip with Tee last year. I haven’t used the word beeg for more than 20 years; it was Adam’s invention back in the day. Wrinkleh.

    Modernized!

    February 10, 2026 /

    I stuck with the previous theme for quite a while, but it was really just a new take on the old two-column blog layout I’ve used since blogspot, yo. It’s been a QUARTER CENTURY! But we are not going to talk about that today. Below, I am adding a photo of a waitress (the owner?) of a plate lunch joint in Pattaya we ate lunch at last year when visiting students interning at hotels and resorts there. If the photo does not appear, my new template needs additional tinkering. When I wrote the word “below” in the first paragraph, I should have said “above,” because that’s where it appears on…
