August 26, 2017 – 3:03 PM My Bali internet connection speeds are glacially slow… at least when I am able to connect. There’s a lot of dropping the connection, both on WiFi and on my Sprint International Roaming. I suppose one could say it’s dropped like it’s hot; this is because, well, it *is* hot. […]
August 26, 2017 – The Day After The Day of the Elephants I’m waiting for my iPhone to copy over my photos onto my laptop. It’s 8:16 am in Nusa Dua. The sun is up, it’s humid, but there’s a light breeze. I’m sitting on the communal balcony outside my vampire room and it’s… tranquil. […]
I know I’m going to regret this later. I know I’m going to wish I had scribbled down as much as I could to ensure I captured the details of the day. But I’m too tired from the journey here and the minimal nap I grabbed at Clamonic House before the pickup this AM. But […]
A very nice guy let me borrow his phone at the airport to get ahold of the hotel and confirm pickup this morning (?!) at 1:30. Delays “due to the plane lated” caused us to arrive in Bali an hour late… and immigration while smooth took a bit of time as A LOT of flight […]
What’s it like to run with potentially a couple of bruised ribs? And how about with a possibly bruised tailbone/left butt cheek? I’ll tell you Sunday. The rain from this morning made the stairs a little slippery. I was even being careful but apparently not careful enough. I missed a step or slipped on the […]
I don’t know what time it is. I don’t know what day it is. I don’t even really know where I am. The nice people next to me, a mom and her son who were returning to Guangzhou from a two month holiday spent traveling all over the US, tell me it’s Thursday. I wrote […]
I’ve tried to track down the title tack to Road to Bali. Apparently, the studio recut the movie after some test screenings and only a very brief snippet of this song exists during the opening titles. There is however a 17-minute LP of the soundtrack, one that replaced Dorothy Lamour’s singing with Peggy Lee. I […]
The entire staff of RunKevinRun.com is mortified and embarrassed. We have contributed to the ever-increasing wrong information floating about the internet and for that we are so very, very sorry. Yesterday I mentioned “In Plane Sight,” season 2, episode 14 of The A-Team. I misquoted Templeton “Faceman” Peck. My brother called me out on it […]
I feel like the blog post title would make a great technothriller cover. “The Guangzhou Layover.” It feels like William Friedkin should direct the adaptation. After struggling with being shut out of various tours (odd that in a land of a one-child policy they’d be so anti-singles), I stumbled upon China Highlights, a website proffering […]
From Season 2, Episode 14 of “The A-Team” entitled “In Plane Sight”: B.A. Baracus: Hey, Hannibal, I ain’t flying, man. Now I don’t know how you guys be getting me in and out of these planes, but this time I’m ready for you. This time… Face, Hannibal: Eclipse. [B.A. falls into a hypnotic trance] Yes, […]
