I hate travelling. Well, no that’s not true really, I’m just never fully prepared for it. I’m going to Dublin tomorrow night. While I was able to lay my hands on my passport pretty easily, finding the damn plane tickets was a whole other story. In the course of getting ready I realised I still have not completely unpacked from Japan. I really should get around to that at some stage soon. I don’t have to bring much for the trip, a couple of days worth of clothes and some other bits and pieces. I think I’m pretty much ready now, just have to grab my camera and one of my last bottles of sake to have with my parents and I’m done. I have of course forgotten something but fuck it, I shall live.

My eye is really getting to me.

I have been listening to Adore by The Smashing Pumpkins. This is a truly great album and brings back a lot of memories.

2002 Year-End Google Zeitgeist. Pretty fascinating. I think Google is a place I would like to work, the entire company ethos seems to be “hey that sounds cool, go do it”.

So very tired.

I’m reading LA Requiem by Robert Crais. It’s not bad although the plot is a little weak, it is written well enough to keep my happy. Should finish it on the flight tomorrow. Must throw in something new to start on then.

Mac Addicts to the Rescue. Fuckin’ nice one, well done that man.
