2011 Part 1, The Best (So Far) at the Movies »

(REEL RHINO NOTE: There is far too little feedback on these posts…do one of two things for me PLEASE…in the comments section, post your top 3 films of 2011 OR post your #1 favorite movie of the year so far.  Thanks!!)
So I got called into work yesterday, keeping me from two things:
1)    Enjoying a nice [...]

Massage »

I’ve mentioned massage in passing here but I never had one this good… I’m getting ahead of myself here. As you know if you read here often I had a bad case of impecuniosity which has been alleviated by my debit card being activated recently. I felt I owed many of the people here [...]

The ONE »

I’ve finally gotten the bank to let me use my debit card at the ATMs here in Thailand! Yea! Double Yea!!, I went and took out 5000 baht, didnt’ need that much but it felt good to have some folding money in my pocket(I was jingling when I walked the last few days) So, I [...]

Living without access… »

I’ve found out what happened to my account, first when I knew I was coming over here I joined asiafriendfinder and got a one month membership and one month of allowing those without memberships to write me. I thought that would be a good way to meet people in the places I was going. Well, [...]

Let It Fail »

The past few months have been spent by our glorious elected officials arguing over politics – not solutions. See the USA has reached its debt limit, and thus unless that is raised (we’ll talk about that in a minute) the government will go into a state of default, and thus, in effect, shut down. This [...]

More whining »

Well, at 4:30am I jumped up and dressed, went to the ATM to get some cash and some food for the first time in several days and guess what? It’s still the 4th of July back in America and my bank isn’t open and didn’t recieve yet my urgent plea to please please please turn [...]

Larry Crowne: A Reel Rhino Review »

Happy 4th of July to ALL!
 
I caught a little grief for my Transformers review…but I stand strong as a uber-TF-fan and I ask for no forgiveness.  I say there is nothing wrong with a film that plays to the teenager-tweenager in us, and while Transformers has some aspects that is geared towards mature, adult viewers, [...]

This is my life now »

Still waiting for the bank to turn back on my debit card, i have enough to last me till my next pitiful social security check when they do. I have thought and thought what may have happened to cause the overdraft and I guess I must have just overspent, don’t recall what it could have [...]

Just when everything’s going great…. »

It all goes kaflooey, I try not to cuss in polite company. My ‘date’ is postponed till the 6th, not good or bad, just disappointing, I’m looking forward to meeting her, she’s been looking at my profile on asiafrienfinder twice a day, so I’m probably ok there. My Social Security(I hesitate to capitolize those words [...]

Transformers 3: GREATEST MOVIE EVER! »

Did that title grab your attention?  I bet it did!  Nothing like a little hyperbole to get the ball rolling!
 

Transformers is not the only thing happening this weekend…I do hope to catch Tom Hanks directing himself in the titular role in Larry Crowne this weekend. I am not crazy about Julia Roberts, but I always seem [...]

I’ve never been lost but, »

I was mighty confused for three days once. Daniel Boone. Today I set off to find a bookstore that paid 50 baht a piece for used paperbacks, 20 more than other places. I had it marked on my map and, thinking I knew where I was going, I took off in the wrong direction, after [...]

A new perspective »

The game is afoot! To quote Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I have been found on an internet site I joined about two months and some ago to meet people(girls) in Thailand. CoffeeQueen has written me and we’ve talked, she’s coming here for the elections in two days and wants to meet me. She looks great [...]

How to make God laugh »

Make a plan. I can hear the Celestial Choir singing now, ‘HAH-ha-haha..’ But it’s a laugh with me sorta thing I believe. I’m sliding into the 4th, my payday with a negative 135 in my account, my check will bring it up to 435 and that’s the number I have to play with this month. [...]
