interesting things

I feel disturbed...mai sabai jai...

I think what makes me really sad is how Heath Ledger died. When I see pictures of the Joker from The Dark Knight I think that is why, and it makes me very sad.

Other interesting things: they arrested a protester who committed "lese majeste" - speaking against the monarchy - at my dorm! She was (lived? I don't know) on the opposite side, on the fourth floor...I live on the first. I didn't know a thing, but when I went to by dinner from the vendors in front of my dorm, the "maa ka" - lady vendor - just started talking about it to me. She probably thought I looked very unaware and needed to be enlightened. Or else it was late and she was thinking again of the exciting events from the afternoon - police all over the place, at 1 p.m.! And how probably we will be in the news tomorrow. She was she was running all over the place...couldn't chili the food properly; she was so excited. Lol...you can find the story at http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/breakingnews.php?id=128999 and http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/breakingnews.php?id=129000

In other news, I randomly found the company that I've been getting all these phone calls for at my office in the past 8-9 months (scores of phone calls, you could say) on the walk home yesterday. They're right across the street from my street! So maybe some things really are right under our noses...or it's coincidence...or finding a needle in a haystack...or being hidden in plain sight...or maybe ignorance or lack of observance on our part! Lol.
