Insomnia, or jet lagged confusion? Or just that winter-time instinct to split sleep into sleeps, two per night?

It's pleasant to have these quiet hours to myself during days packed into a hostel, 8 to a room.

Kraków is lovely, as always.

Today I meet one of the artists for my game face-to-face for the first time. I'll be catching brunch with Tomasz. Then Sunday I meet Marek at a tattoo convention in Warsaw.

I've ordered the new laptop to replace the vanished one. I went and splurged on the new one. It's a dream machine for photography, with all flash drive space and an extra helping of RAM. Pretty nice for general use, too.

I found the coffeehouse I'd live at if I were spending more time here, last night. Good rooibosh teas, veggie friendly menu, and the baristas come with a serving of adorable. Cafe Mana Mana by the University. What university? I have no idea. But from the crowd in there, it was in collegetown. Some things are the same anywhere you go.

If you are what you eat, I need to escape Poland before I become a pile of pierogi ruskie.
