http://shelterfromthedownpour.blogspot.com/2010/01/let-love-rain-statement-of-solidarity.html

Saturday, January 16, 2010. Let Love Rain: Statement of Solidarity For Haiti. We, sun-fed islands cradled by oceans. On both ends of the earth. We, who survive tropical storms,. Celebrate life through sweat and our songs. We, brown bodies beautiful and brazen against the blaze of blue skies and sandy shores. We, shared histories of colonization, resistance,. And struggle for liberation. We, children of homelands we hunger for on these cold. Haiti; where the earth betrayed steady feet and foundations.

The Three-to-Nine: Zeus and Hera

http://threetonine.blogspot.com/2009/04/zeus-and-hera.html

Not yet, but her luggage is out. She's started packing her things.". Zeus turns and starts walking slowly out of my room. "I know," he says, "but I thought she told you about it. I thought you would know.". Or lie on the floor. Now she comes straight up to my room after getting home from work, and when I'm ready ...

http://threetonine.blogspot.com/2009/08/attempted-robbery.html

Someone just tried to break into my condo in broad daylight while Stevie and I were both home. Embarrassing thing is, he got the window open while I was awake. It was 11 am on a Monday and I was on the phone with Pam at the time:. Thai, are you sleeping? No, I just woke up. The people next door are doing some sort of work outside. There’s a hose out there and sometimes they do yardwork. They’re being really loud this morning though! 8230;I’m almost too embarrassed to tell that to the police. In the Third...

http://threetonine.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-fortuneteller-said.html

What the Fortuneteller Said. Her husband had been a high-ranking officer in the Thai military. As a result, she possessed a title like “Lady.” Given her family connections, I heard she read for a handful of politicians, and even once for an African queen on a trip to the Kingdom.

In normal conversation, Thai people rarely say “husband” or “wife.” Instead, we use a nonspecific word like “s...8220;That isn’t late, Gra...

The Three-to-Nine: Geeks and Geishas at a Gay Bar

http://threetonine.blogspot.com/2009/05/geeks-and-geishas-at-gay-bar.html

Geeks and Geishas at a Gay Bar. Now, I never expect to get flack for my race. I feel like people should know better than to make those comments within earshot. Needless to say, the encounters irked me. If we were feeling creatively suspicious, we might wonder why labels like "Gaysian" are used. In her book, Asian American Dreams. Journalist and lesbian Helen Zia offers a clue: "I was an Asian American and I was a lesbian, but in those days I couldn't be both in the same space. There's a Disney Chann.

New Blog: Let's Talk Politics. I've never been a very politically-minded person, but if anyone's been to this site lately, he'll notice I've been writing more and more about the political situation in Thailand - something which worries me a lot.

The Three-to-Nine: New Housing?

http://threetonine.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-housing.html

Besides finals, for a lot of my friends the end of the semester also means changes in housing. However, a group of my friends are looking to renew their apartment for next year and need another room mate.
