Two things strike me as incredible today.
1. My little sister, Rachel, is turning 22 today.
2. I get to celebrate with her in Cambodia-as a family unit with my mother, along with wonderful friends (Sesame for lunch!)

Siem Reap. August 4, 2013.
I had the enjoyment of spending a few days this past week with friends (Jesse, Ritchie, Duncan, Steve, newly friended Eric and a few Scottish gals whose names I unfortunately don’t remember) and family (mom and Rachel) in Siem Reap. Full of relaxation, naps, entertainment, loads of good food, and several Indiana Jones-like tuk tuk rides: it was a weekend away to be remembered.
Reunions.
I appreciate a good reunion.
It doesn’t have to be for me personally even, if I see a beautiful transaction between two friends or lovers (or owner and pet, whatever) reuniting-it strikes a chord. In the past week and a half, I’ve gotten to experience three (and a half, including one with my mom after a few weeks of distance) in Cambodia, my home as of now.
Adoptee.
I watched World War Z this Monday (finally), and I came away with two things.
- I miss dressing in a post-apocalyptic friendly manner: biker boots, thick denim with long johns underneath, oversized tee shirts and leather jackets. Also known as Washingtonian Fall/Winter attire. These flimsy silk dresses, satin boudoir shorts, crepe silk joggies, and heeled sandals that are basically my staple wardrobe items would have me hungry for brains within minutes.
- I battle abandonment issues just as strongly as our character Gerry does with the undead.
