Last Night
March 21, 2008 | Comments Off
So tonight’s my last night in town - tomorrow I fly back to Blighty and return to something approaching normal life. I’m looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, with The Mrs and Gramsci close at hand, and reconnecting with all the people I’ve been disconnected from for so long.
This last week has […]

As Weeks Go…

…. this one’s been a bit rubbish.
It’s been disrupted by travel, and also by dealing with some very frustrating people along the way. It’s also yet another thing that’s got in the way of me getting everything done that I wanted to during this stint overseas. I’m very very frustrated that I’ll be leaving this […]

Another Day, Another Town

In another State in fact, and one that’s completely new to me. However, it’s one where I have 24 hours, most of which will be spent in the airport, a hotel, and an office next door to the hotel. Sightseeing, it isn’t going to be.
If it’s Wednesday, this much be Ohio.

On te cable car home just now, a couple asked a woman if she knew where they should get off to go to a restaurant that had been suggested to them. The were tourists, and clearly a bit lost. The restaurant was Italian - it’s in my neighbourhood; I’ve looked at it a few times […]

Countdown

I’m now safely into the last two weeks of my time in the US, and starting to feel like I’m gathering speed towards the bottom of the hill. There’s *so* much I still need to do, and so little time in which to do it.
And that includes some down time that I could do […]

For reasons that will become apparent, I just delved back into the archives, to discover when I first mentioned World of Warcraft in this here blog. Brilliantly, it was exactly three years ago today. Quite the coincidence.

Electin’ Again

So I watched primary results being discussed on Tuesday night with interest. McCain was never really a question, but Hillary dragging herself back from the brink was gripping. I’m very conflicted about the Democratic contest. Like many people, I don’t wholly trust Hillary C, though I do tend to think that she’s a relatively safe […]

I was accosted on a bus this evening.
Not violently or anything, but quite intensely. The guy sitting across the aisle was reading a book and noticed that I was reading a comic. Suddenly he went off, telling me (and everyone else listening) that I shouldn’t be wasting my time on fiction; I should be changing […]

I’ve been globetrotting again, including flying a new airline again for the second time in a month. Silverjet are an all-business class airline flying between London (Luton), New York […]
