Hahahahaha! I have a copy of Haruki Murakami’s Pinball 1973, in English!

Unfortunately though I won’t get to see it for about 2 months as I’m abroad right now (Thailand) and its only just arrived at my home. As soon as I get home I’ll photograph it and pop some photos on here. I won’t attempt to review the book because I suck at literary / artistic criticism.

I’m telling myself that I will resell it (after much admiration) because I can’t justify the amount of money I spent on it, on a mere book. At least I think I will. Hmm. I should work on trying to find a way to convince myself keeping it is morally acceptable =P

Please show your envy (or make your best offer) below :D

Seriously, how cool is this guy? He’s been to a lot of places, awesome! I could have done the same, had I not been to Thailand SIX times now. No regrets though, because I know I will see all the places I want to, it’s just a matter of time. Anyway back to the praise, how is he able to just not care, and dance like a crazy man infront of all those people?! Legend. I wish I could temporarily abandon my ego.

Check his site out here.

£100,000,000 would have been nice. I got about £6.

Metropark, Sathorn, Bangkok

The adverts on tv for the new Metropark Condominium near Sathorn make it look really nice, but unfortunately they don’t give a URL to check for further information, only a phone number :( I couldn’t find any website for it using google or yahoo, but today Orm and I saw a big promotion for it in Siam Discovery Centre so we grabbed a brochure which had the website address on the back :)

I’m mentioning it here because I know my site will turn up in google and should therefore help people to find the official website :)
