Destiny fulfilled and all that. Mom said "blog," etceterata...
I'm an executive assistant in Phnom Penh. That feels decidedly less like a "destiny fulfilled." More like "personal failure." Poor life decision? It remains to be seen.
Just so you're all aware - the name of my blog is not just a lazy, boring, couldn't-think-of-anything-else kind of thing. It's a clever play on the Dead Kennedys' song. I wanted to make that clear.

Also, that pic is me and Molly at Tina's wedding. I think that's a relative of Tina's. It is the most recent picture taken of me.
My stories:
Yesterday the internet was out for the whole office for about 6 hours. The whole office except Ping Serey, that is. The router is near my desk so a crowd had gathered (apparently the power source had been fried?) and Serey came in, wondering why his internet still worked. This made no sense since without the router, the whole office should be offline. It was confirmed, however, that Serey had internet access. I'm not caring too much because without the internet the only possible diversion for my brain is minesweeper (computer minesweeper in Cambodia! Windows is so insensitive) and I'm absorbed. Then I hear Noel, one of the Filipino accountants, deadpan that the only explanation for Serey's internet access is that "he must be the only son of God." That's funny! The Philippines is a Catholic country! That's really funny! I laughed.
If you're still reading my blog you've probably heard the cat/rat story because you are my parent or hetero life partner, but I'll tell it here for posterity:
I'm cat-sitting for the time being and my third or fourth morning here I was awoken at 5am but one of the cats, Contoi, gleefully tossing a dead mouse in my hair. In my bed. Like, under the sheets. It took several minutes to get the cat and rodent corpse out of my bed. Gross. That is all I have to say about that (tm FG).
The highlight of my life is Harry Potter at the moment, imported from Singapore by an Aussie coworker who went there to see The Cure. "They played for three hours and rocked out!"
