Doctor Dal's New Life: 16/01/11 - 23/01/11

Doctor Dal's New Life. I don't like Oreos but. Addictions, or are they just predilections? Let us not sully the debate with perorations, these are obsessions and fixations whichever way you look at it. First (and probably worst) is the cigarette, a ridiculous habit that devolves to hitting up and seems to entail less and less actual enjoyment, rather just escape from duress. As Yul Brenner would say with his dying breath: Whatever you do, don't smoke! And can food be an addiction? Or just a niggling need?

Doctor Dal's New Life: Trip to Mae Sai & Burma
http://renodal.blogspot.com/2011/03/trip-to-mae-sai-burma.html
Doctor Dal's New Life. Trip to Mae Sai and Burma. Trip to Mae Sai Mar 2012. This is the last two of four days of driving around the area. Mae Sae is 4 hours away on the border with Burma (Myanmar). You walk across and there's a market for dodgy products, very cheap. Got a new "Nokia" phone for Kaan and me, just 1,900B. cheap as. And now, back in Chiang Mai to finish checking results at CMU, and then total immersion in my master's studies. Nice to see you here. From the Brain of. Wednesday, March 09, 2011.

Doctor Dal's New Life. La Nausée, Sartre's Annoyance. So now I know- the problem with the picture upload is in my NEW MacBook- NOT in Blogger. time to go visit the MacZone shop to see what they can do. Today I feel a bit like the anti-hero of Sartre's existential novel; wandering a strange city, not really understanding what these people are doing, like him spending a lot of my time reading and writing alone, and wondering what I could do to connect to these strangers. If nothing else it will give me the...

Doctor Dal's New Life: Roll out the essays!
http://renodal.blogspot.com/2011/03/roll-out-essays.html
Doctor Dal's New Life. Roll out the essays! And let's have an essay of fun! So on Friday I sent off my first assignment (English for Academic Purposes/EAP) for semester 2 of the Master's. and now 3 days to go for delivery of the next one- Language Policy and Planning. The first one drove me a bit crazy. It's the first time since 1973 and 8 years of study along the way and it's the first time I have studied full time. It is a bit of a luxury but a good one. That's my way of thinking- how to make it better...

Doctor Dal's New Life. Tomorrow is Macha Bucha Day. Thursday, 17 Feb 2011. 7pm Woke from a two hour nap as so often happens to me these days. Had been watching the latest House download on my Mac. Have you noticed how the series has become more family-oriented (and sex-oriented for that matter) since Hugh Laurie became the executive producer? It will be nice to get out of town for two days and gaze at the jungle for a while. And now, off for a walk, and then dinner, a movie (Mother Night). Such a long ti...

Doctor Dal's New Life: Difficult, impossible... normal.
http://renodal.blogspot.com/2011/03/difficult-impossible-normal.html
Doctor Dal's New Life. Difficult, impossible. normal. It's Tuesday morning and it's quite cool and cloudy. It's been raining and the cloud cover keeps the temperatures in the mid 20s- should be good study weather. But nothing is perfect. However it is not so easy for me to concentrate on just one project. For one thing, I find that I can only really concentrate for about six hours during the day, and then I need a break. Maybe my brain at 56 just isn't as durable as it used to be. On top of that an odd t...

Doctor Dal's New Life. 312 Weekender, 56. It's started again, the afternoon nap. I try to avoid it and during the cooler months of November through March it is usually easier, but right now it is getting to the early thirties by lunchtime. I get home from work, eat something, do my email and by 3pm I start fading. 312, The Proposed Weekender. Given the odd history of apartment 312 Lanna Nakorn, I might as well make it my weekend artist retreat. Yep, it happened again. On Wednesday I turned 56 amid no...

Doctor Dal's New Life. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004). Liam Aiken, one of the unfortunate children. Most of the time the movies on TrueMoves satellite TV are rubbish, and then by accident they show something decent like Lemony Snicket's masterpiece. (Click HERE. For Rotten Tomatoes take or on this blogs title.). Jim Carrey being truly evil. I was out for a bit more than an hour, and came home dripping wet and exhausted- making it impossible to concentrate on anything for the rest ...

Doctor Dal's New Life. So the photo upload feature is not working- again! I really hate that. Anyway, in Thursday night Kaan wandered back in the evening, probably to change clothes and go out for food, drink and karaoke etc for the next 24 hours- as he had done every night for weeks. And a strange thing happened. Not for the first time, but this time in a way that was new and different. I complained a little (? It would be better if you gave me back the key", I said quietly. That was two nights ago.
