Right, being stuck in the tube due to signal delays allow me time to write a quick and dirty todo list and things to pack list for when I goto New York. Not excited about it yet, still feeling calm as a cow (and boy that’s CALM), guess I’ll only start feeling excited when I’m on the plane for the first time hehe.
Anyway, here’s the list, sadly I honestly don’t need much, only clothes and other bits and bobs:
Things to bring:
- Plane tickets
- Passport
- Wallet with some $$
- Travel insurance documents
- Laptop from work
- Clothes
- Toilet stuff :p
- Suitcase
- Dslr Camera and extra CF cards / charger
- Travel guide for New York
- 3 odd travel adaptors
- Phone
- iPod and cable (laptop needs itunes)
Things to do
- Check if theres a suitcase available, if not buy
That’s the list for now, will add more whenever needed
It appears that I’ll be going to New York on the 21st. I’m going with a work colleague so the journey won’t be solo so that’s good. Quite excited about it all since I haven’t went abroad in quite some time, the only time when i had a chance to go was when there was a spare ticket to Sweden, shame i had interviews then and a lack of a valid passport which rendered me stuck in England.
I’ll be staying at the tudor hotel, it looks pretty fancy I must say, raddison at lexington. Hope they have free wifi there for the early morning or evening browsings but i suppose I should be going sightseeing on evenings just to make the most of my visit.
there’s nowt places i really want to go to tbh, I suppose it will be fun to visit the museum of modern art and hopefully check out art tatooed onto fat guys hehe. Central park sounds fun too, the only time I can go however is on Monday which is Martin Luther King day (lucky). pretty excited about checking out the head office too, my manager works there so it would be nice to meet him and all.
Graduation is up on friday, can’t wait. Though only because alice is visiting, not really keen on meeting other students and all to be honest, my uni housed a lot of lazy retards.
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.
and i’ve been working, like a DAWWWWG
So yeah, megabus I go and London here I come
