My first week back from vacation has passed without any major events.

Considering the apprehension I felt last weekend, and the whole “let’s do something” attitude, I ended up slipping back into my life without remorse. Don’t get me wrong, I still have all those delusions of grandeur swirling through my mind – travelling the world, doing volunteer work, going to the gym, etc… but somehow it’s just far too easy to put all of that on the back-burner.

Statement: Last night I drank a lot. It’s been a while since I drank so much – I mean, I can’t say it’s been a while since I drank, but it’s definitely been a good period of time since I really wanted to drink so much. I’m wondering what that shot I had was? I remember it being incredibly tasty with no bite.

Anyway, it was a “Charity” party, but from my point of view, it looked more like just a party at a bar as there seemed to be minimal charity appeal. I had these visions of expanding my social network, but as always, the reality of it is that that didn’t really happen! I mean, I met a lot of people but I doubt that it had any long-term affect on my network at all. Sucks slightly. Don’t get me wrong though, I had a fantastic time and it has definitely been a while since I’ve been invited to such a party – a charity function or not. Hopefully I’m not wasting away all these opportunities by being so reserved.

This past week, I’ve been on a mission to streamline stuff, specifically my computer; as I’ve mentioned previously, I’m backing up all my data as regularly as possible – with the thought of my computer dying hanging over me – plus, cutting out as much crap installed on my computer. Hmm, I don’t really have much else to say on this topic. I did look into how I could blog post without going through a browser and using a text editor instead… but that went nowhere.

I was asked yesterday who I missed the most during my vacation. I let the question slide by making a stupid comment but having thought about it – wading through memories of last week, I don’t really know to be honest. Well, to be honest, it was only a week and I had my phone on me so I wasn’t exactly out of touch.

Hmm, anyway, my stomach is grumbling so I think I’ll wrap this up for now.

Today was a pretty dull day. I sorted out my shipping for tomorrow for all the boxes I’m sending over to Tokyo. Apart from that I didn’t really do anything except read during the day. I headed to Nandos for dinner later and then hit Trailer Happiness. I didn’t really know what to expect from the Rum Club night but I did end up joining for a tenner. It was pretty cool though coz there was a free bar for a few hours. It turned out it was the launch of the Appleton 8 Year Reserve so a few cocktails were on the house. There were a few speeches about the drink and all the flavours, smells, etc but it was a nice night out.

The funny thing is I was planning for a late night, looking up routes home for 2/3am but we ended up splitting around 9ish – the free bar finished around then! Ah well.

It’s strange how much slower I walk these days. I seem to be cherishing every moment I have left in this beautiful city. I still can’t imagine how I’ll feel on the day I leave…
