Goodbye London

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Well, kinda all packed up and ready to go now, granted it’s now 4am in the morning and I doubt I can get any proper sleep. Funny how I can’t seem to stuff my suitcase full of stuff, hopefully it’ll be nice and full when I come back (and hopefully not filled with JUST lucky charms haha). Not really set on things to do and see so I’ll just post them up here and hopefully people can post on what they think I should do so I can check it out and go 🙂 Would really appreciate it if you can all start listing them because I want to really make the most out of my trip to New York.

Actually I’ll just post that on another post, this will be my goodbye post hehe. Anyway, I think the thing that will drive me mad most is when I’m up in New York is company (or a lack of). Hopefully I can phone up Kiernan when everyone else is asleep hehe (she doesnt mind :p). But otherwise it will be around 7.30 where I’ll have a sneaky skype with people before I head off to work (mmm 10 minute trip).

It is going to be weird travelling by air for the first time. Luckily I’m going with a manager so I’m not on my own cocking up or something. The films on board are pretty cool too, I can watch either Atonement, Control or Rush Hour 3 (might do all 3) but chances are I’ll be sleeping most of the flight due to the fact that I’m still up typing this and getting ready.

So yeah, farewell London. Will be back Sunday morning feeling perhaps slightly jetlagged and maybe hungry for some sushi (though there’s a sushi bar in my hotel which I’m very keen in visiting hehe). No idea why I’m even posting this because I will clearly get wireless in my hotel room and surf the internet when I’m back home from doing whatever hehe. So yeah, goodbye folks.

Commuting

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Rightio, I thought I’d make use of the time on the tube and write blog entries instead of watching futurama or playing ds on the tube.

I’ve got the thing almost down to a science, from standing in the right part of the platform to timing myself to leave and arrive to work when it’s least busy and crammed. I think commuting is by far the most annoying thing when i started work, you just sit there waiting for the train to take you from point A to point B. I know there’s nowt i can do about it but it’s well worth a rant (especially when the damn place is packed silly and you’re forced to just stand there doing nothing but make sure you don’t fall on your arse like a mofo).

So yeah, i guess i’ll just have to make the most out of it.

I’m glad i’ve added blogging to the list of things to do when i’m on the tube because it was starting to get boring, here’s my lovely list of things i can get up to:

• Write a blog entry
• Access my server via putty, maddox style
• Play ds or psp
• Listen to music (usually accompanied by something else)
• Read the free papers
• Watch futurama

Sadly out of those things i could do, blogging seems to be the only one that’s actually productive..

I’m writing this using the notepad on my phone and syncing it up when I’m back home. The process is slightly tiddly but all in all a smooth process. I might look out for blogging clients on my phone to speed up the process further but I prefer the good old fashioned text editing and copying/pasting it onto here.

Anyway, yeah, expect future blog entries painfully written on my mobile hehe.
