First Rant

Ok, so I got my suit for the big Ball tomorrow night and everything is just fine. Picked up a little street food on the way home. This is sweet, the rant comes later. I went over to my local people, that's them to the right, they are just about a half a block up Soi 16. Normally I would get the usual chicken, or something on a stick right. Well I was totally surprised to see that it was seafood day!! Yes folks the long arm of the Catholic church has somehow reached all the way to Sukumvit Soi 16 in Bangkok. Hahaha, that is really rich don't you think. They have seafood day on Friday in Bangkok!!

I ended up with a salad. My man asks me if I want spicy, I say sure. He smiles and says "Yeah, you like to do spicy, You can do spicy?" Um Sure, I say. No problem. This was a simple little cabbage, tomatoe, carrot and other stuff with some tiny, tiny dried shrimp sprinkled over top. Brutally spicy. Not "My mouth is a volcano" hot, but a true test. Only way to make it here. Spicy street food. By the way if you are coming to visit...... one trip to the street vendor for something spicy is part of the price of admission. No ducking out or reneging on this.

The Rant.
I came back up to the room to eat my salad and a notice on my computer says ...."Watch the Ryder Cup Live Now". Yeah right, except if you are in Thailand. The cable tv guys over here make Ted Rogers look like a school kid. You need like 4 levels of Cable Package. Something like - Premium Gold Elite I think it was, and of course you have to have basic cable with a VIP package to get the first level of PGE. Holy mother of Pearl. Bottom line, no Ryder Cup on tv for Jer.
And when you log into your PC and think well I'll just stream a little video for a while and see wasssup. Nope! Get a cute little message that says not available in your area? My area! My area is all of ******* south east asia ya dweebs. What the jello is going on here. (I know this is a family blog so bear with me here) Give a sports fan a break!!
So I have to settle for an update on BBC 1, that's worth the price of admission!
I'm off to the pool. Reading Truman Capote, In Cold Blood, splash, read, you know the drill.
