BLOG: So Hollywood

Posted on May 6, 2026May 6, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday evening. At the Cantina. I came here to distract myself from stewing over the Russian. This proved to be a good idea. For one, it’s very busy. Two, the owner is here. He greeted me by asking how my book is going. He, like every man I know, asked...Read More

BLOG: Man vs Bear vs Crocodile vs Lion

Tuesday. Rainy day. Stayed at home today. I am obsessed with this new instant coffee I bought. Indocafe. So good. Best instant coffee I’ve had in Asia so far, except for that rare mocha brand I got in Thailand once and then never saw ever again. Tragic. Truly tragic. I...Read More

BLOG: Rooftop Rumble

Posted on May 1, 2026May 2, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Here we are. Saturday morning. Up on my rooftop, which is unusual for me. I had to come here to clean up the mess I made last night, so I decided to stay for a coffee, a smoke, and a blog. Somehow still fully intact after I ran into Hot...Read More

BLOG: Shark Fin Soup

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. At the coffee shop. It’s raining today. It rained all last night. The construction was still going on outside until about 2am when the rain started, so the very loud sounds of the drilling were replaced by impossibly loud, extremely terrifying thunder claps. Needless to say, I did not...Read More

BLOG: Stories from SEA

Posted on April 15, 2026April 16, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Where does the time go? I have no idea. What am I doing? I have no idea. Making a mess of my life and my finances in pursuit of my insane dream to become a professional writer. Seriously, what am I doing right now? I should have just gone...Read More

BLOG: To Market, To Market

Posted on April 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday. At the coffee shop. The last few days haven’t been great, to be honest. I was feeling pretty low after what happened in the Mid-Levels earlier this week. Who wouldn’t be, right? You get on a plane, you fly to the other side of the world expecting to live...Read More

BLOG: Chinese Laundry Day

Posted on April 9, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday?! I am losing days left and right over here. What is even happening to me right now? I think it’s called “getting older.” Yesterday I was not feeling well at all. I couldn’t even watch TV. I mostly slept all day long. I’ve been sleeping a lot more since...Read More

BLOG: The 2.5 Star Review

Posted on April 9, 2026April 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Earlier today, I said I had nothing else to say about my date with The Russian. As my day unfolded, however, I realized that, yes, actually, I did have something else to say. That something is that I have thought it over and decided I am giving this date a...Read More

BLOG: I Think We Lost The Plot

Posted on April 9, 2026April 9, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Where did the week go? Oh yes, I know. I spent all day yesterday sucked into Netflix while actively avoiding reality. Nothing like a good true crime docu trio to wake you up to all of the different ways life could go wrong. I’m not really partial to the...Read More

BLOG: I’m Cracking the Egg Joke

Posted on April 7, 2026April 7, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday, again. How did I lose an entire week of time? Aside from the fact that it was raining blood and frogs. I feel like the time passes so fast here. It used to pass much slower in Bangkok. Speaking of Bangkok, I checked my web host mail and found...Read More
