the title pretty much says it all. poor li'l guy's a roadside-feline away from being in traction. btw, what the F is 'traction'?

facials all around!
a picture i forgot to post months ago. a 'facial room', also translated into chinese.
next time i'm giving a chinese girl a facial, i'll know precisely how to spell it. did i say "chinese girl"? i meant to say "myself".

you haven't seen bali until you've caught a performance involving monkey gods fighting human armies.

CNet Malaysia?
as a former employee of CNET Networks (based in San Francisco) for 5 glorious ornery years, i feel it's my duty to rat on anyone infringing on its world-renown slightly recognized trademark. CNET, if you're reading this, you can paypal me any large sum of money for my loyalty as well as the inevitable windfall from your crushing litigation of CNET Malaysia.
CNet Malaysia
btw, if you're having a hard time distinguishing CNET Malaysia from CNET SF, here's a hint: one exploits its asian workers in sweatshop conditions and is heavy handed in dealing with sexual harrassment complaints... the other one's in malaysia.
Brunei, it's not just for rich terrorists anymore!
after one and a half days in Brunei's capitol, B.S.B., your intrepid (& learned) explorer discovers as many interesting facts a person can possibly discover about a place when he breezes through en route to more interesting pastures.
myths:
- Brunei's streets are paved with gold
- public fountains pipe champagne 24-hours a day
facts:
- one of Brunei's princes has a yacht named 'Tits'
- 'Tits' has 2 smaller tenders named 'Nipple I' and 'Nipple II'
- one of Brunei's princes has little to no class
- loads of Filipina domestic help run amok
- i've given up any hopes of losing weight off my corpulent frame
not yet known:
- whereabouts, if any, of the 'loose-moraled' white women that make up the sultan's harem
- my current weight since gaining 30 lbs (14 kg) this summer
the ordinariness of Brunei leaves me as shocked as you. in summary, Brunei looks peculiarly like the country it's sandwiched between, malaysia... except with a different currency and a heap more filipina domestic help.

wacky fudstuffs
if you can get over the fact that a grown man spent the past 2 nights sleeping on garfield bedsheets, you'll be able to see the strange fruit displayed before you. in my quest to educate you drooling ignorami blockheads, this post is the first in a series of 'fruity' and educational reports that highlight the amazing array of wacky edible products in asia.
(fyi, there's little to no internet in these parts of indonesia - east of lombok. you're lust for thejerk.org (formerly meatcondom.com) updates may have to wait until i return to civilization).

pickleboy: deep wallet, shallow urethra
damn this guy. although he signed up for a backpacking trip, complete with sleezy hotels and 3rd class transportation, he continuously insists on comfort and opulence. his only salvation is his desire to stay in fancy beachside resorts, bringing me along at little to no cost. i suppose when you earn a medical degree at UH-UMC (Univeristy of Haiti - Upstairs Medical College: it's not just for dental school dropouts anymore!) you're bound to have a few bucks to burn. but not all of us can attend a dubious, second-rate Bahamian medical schools, you see.
