Today, in an effort to save some time, I took the metro - and wound up walking two miles out of my way... in the rain. I had a great mozzarella-and-chicken salad, though. And the rain didn't bother me much at all.
..if you fancy a few cheeky halves n are in Manchester this weekend or if you get fed up wth trying to get past brum on your way to or from london then give me a shout.
At the station today I overhead someone saying that #80 bus was late; it was caught in traffic. I took it upon myself to start walking until the bus saw fit to catch up with me, which it never did. For an hour I walked past three Gothic graveyards, a series of Tandoori take-out establishments, the Posh Pets dog groomers, a number of ivy-covered bed... Read More
Friday I leave for Europe for 5 weeks. 3 weeks working in Newcastle, one week being silly in London, and one week in Zagreb visiting my 96-year-old ladykiller grandpa.

My recollections crack and shatter as soon as I step on them. The fragments fall below my ice-cold ego and onward I ride the carousel of life. I relish feeling so alienated... Read More
What did you learn on your drive home today? You can only exist in you suffocating vacuum for so long. There are palm trees to discover, waving at you in the wind, waving you to come in.
You learned not to take chances with a 20-year-old Mercedes carting along a horse trailer. Yes, it was lumbering onto the freeway remarkably slow, but it wouldnt be... Read More
They all reminded you of yourself. You saw the plaintive faces once inside, all of them reflecting back to you who you are. Everyone from the by-the-book door lady, who told you you needed to walk clear around to the other side because your printout wasnt honored here. Artificial lines are what irked you the most, and you already considered going home. Then the gent... Read More
Something in your carefully selected articulation suggests more than just one sentence. I have taken a great compliment by you, and wish to extend the same. The problem is, I don't know anyone rich enough to buy you the world. Yet.

Sounds like you've acclimatized fast.
