Yesterday when I was heading home from my morning run around Bangkok's Lumphini Park, I ran into the French expat who lives and works at the hotel where I live and was returning from her own early morning run. Well, actually, she sneaked up on me and grabbed me from behind, causing me to practically jump out of my running shoes. But it was what she said once she had my attention that surprised me most. "I saw you when you were running around the park," she told me. "I [...]

I have totally NOT been into the Glee show this year. But I have to say last weeks episode kind of moved me. I know the show is kitchy, lame, and not cool enough for the cool kids.
