Kryptonite

Not sure how I managed to for get mentioning Kryptonite, the signature drink of Angkor What. It’s made from vodka, gin, tequila, triple sec, blue curacoa (sp?) and red-bull.  Last night I saw two couples fall in love over pitchers of the stuff.

Yes, they serve it in pitchers. Think the scorpion bowls at Hong Kong in Cambridge but instead of them bringing the Asia to you, you’ve brought you to the Asia.

Quick Thoughts From Cambodia

I’m just about to curl up with a nice bottle of rice whiskey and a cigar that would be contraband in the US. It’s hot as all hell here, so I’m trying to move as little as possible while drinking as much as possible. I’m sorry if my drinking so much rice whiskey is in anyway connected with the global food crisis and rationing of rice.

It rained yesterday and two days ago. The rainy season may be showing up already.

Angkor What is a bar in the middle of the bar district in Siem Reap. They serve  rice whiskey by the bucketful, topped off with Red Bull. Predictably insanity ensues. The bar opened in 1998 but the jukebox sounds like it hasn’t been updated since 1995.  

I’ve been told Gowanus Canal is open already. It’s nice to have something to look forward to when I get home. See you there next Saturday!

Thailand, Laos and Cambodia

Have I mentioned that I’m going to be out of town for a few weeks. You are all on your own. Try not to wreck the place. There’s extra money in the coffee can in the refrigerator if you need to pick something up.

I'm Not Big On April Fool's Day

but if I ran YouTube, I would have made every video a rickroll today.

Related: this is probably why I don’t run YouTube.

“

The article says, “Naming a favorite book or author can be fraught. Go too low, and you risk looking dumb. Go too high, and you risk looking like a bore — or a phony.”

Or maybe you could just say what you really enjoy and risk looking like who you are. That single New Yorkers can’t handle that simple idea tells you all you need to know about them.

Books Are Stupid Because

6. You’re illiterate.

I’ll let you visit me so you can experience the awesomeness of books. But you’ll just want to put up a video of it. So I should probably rescind the offer. Except I won’t.

Come by if you want to experience literacy.

1. They take up an insane amount of room

2. They are heavy

3. They smell funny

4. They tell strangers who visit way too much about yourself

5. They’re a fire hazard
