finding it very hard to focus when my mind is still somewhere over the pacific — the soul travels much slower than the body
16November2009 08:43
this change at the day's end is the part I love about sydney's summer weather; and the pale sunset in the storm's aftermath is beautiful
16November2009 08:23
just realised I spent, for 3 weeks in the usa, about half what I spent for a year in france; I now feel faint, and the jet lag isn't helping
15November2009 23:58
out of jury service; will have to perform my civic duty next year
15November2009 20:20
just discovered commbank put the cost of overseas cash withdrawals and credit payments way up (to 3% from a flat fee and 1.5% respectively)!
15November2009 06:42
colourful plastic money feels strangely cute/unreal after handling the us's weird paper money (tho it was vice versa when I first got there)
15November2009 03:59
got home to a letter summons-ing me to jury duty - tomorrow!! and they knew (from last excuse), I'd only be back today; sneaky
15November2009 00:13
back in sydney! off to mum and dad's for some real food and decompression
13November2009 15:16
starting on the long trip home; free wifi at boston airport thanks to google
11November2009 20:59
in boston; the best word to describe this place is "cute"; found a delightful jazz lounge with live music every night
07November2009 18:13
no wifi at the hotel so checking in from a cafe; washington DC is gorgeous — lots of opportunity for beautiful photos
04November2009 04:15
I've one more day in nyc and I've seen everything I wanted to see and spent enough money shopping — what should I do now?
03November2009 02:53
kinda related, I'm developing a sneaker obsession; bought new nike runners (lunarglides — nice) and various (4 so far) pairs of other sneaks
03November2009 02:50
thanks to hotel gym and crazy nyc streets, discovered treadmill running; still getting used to it, but sure beats not running cos of weather
01November2009 05:41
have to say, halloween is- odd; though I do better understand the custom having been here for it
01November2009 05:39
about to go back in time again — daylight savings ends here tonight; think I want that extra hour for sleep though, so turning off, and in
31October2009 04:42
saw wynton marsalis last nite (very cool jazz), tegan & sara tonite (incredible — see them live); got thievery corp tomoro nite; love nyc
29October2009 22:41
enjoying spending lots on shopping/food/concerts, but it's the completely free little magic moments that are making me want to move here
29October2009 22:31
I plan to! RT @johnaugust RT @ManMadeMoon Dear BitTorrenters. pleased MOON is popular: 40k active seeds! [...] please buy the DVD as well?
26October2009 23:11
thought I just loved NYC, then I discovered shopping in soho, and ayza: wine and chocolate bar; now I'm smitten, and spending too much money
25October2009 00:37
got soaked on the way home tonight, so I should hate it, but I'm loving this city — and I've never fallen in love with a city this quickly
23October2009 01:48
been up 31hrs now and badly need sleep, but walked a cpl blocks up and down 42nd st and I'm loving nyc already! (people here walk like I do)
22October2009 23:20
arrived safely and checked into the hotel in nyc — beautiful view; chrysler building is half a block away outside my window
22October2009 00:11
but first, travelling into the past — it is now late wednesday afternoon to prep for LA time
22October2009 00:04
about to go into flight mode — will check in on the other side
21October2009 23:01
took a while but I'm all checked in and cleared security — now in the qantas club lounge for breakfast (thanks todd!)
21October2009 07:42
work email account deleted from the iPhone — I am now officially on holiday
19October2009 10:03
must remember to keep mouth shut while travelling: http://xkcd.com/651/ "you can't arrest me if I prove your rules inconsistent"
19October2009 08:14
I've an ever-growing shopping list that I'm trying to put off till new york 4 days hence — now thinking I'll travel with just an empty bag
18October2009 11:44
world's funniest island offered a few good laughs, but if it's setting the bar, makes me pity the world's unfunny islands
17October2009 07:55
awesome breakfast late on a saturday afternoon — this is why I love surry hills!
16October2009 01:56
accidental eye contact in the lift — quick, look away, pretend it didn't happen
15October2009 20:36
enjoyed Rabbit Hole at NIDA last night; thx @jessicasutton and twitter-provided serendipity
14October2009 05:54
foiled; plane aborted takeoff and we're milling about canberra airport while they reboot the plane — the first resort of tech support
14October2009 04:34
flight to sydney cancelled; lucky we got to the airport early and just made another plane; wouldn't be happy with virginblue if 5 mins later
12October2009 08:27
bumpy ride to canberra and now the cab situation is dire, and there's a storm rolling in; missing sunny sydney!
10October2009 00:52
"Wave's UI is a communications program for folks that don't carry on conversations" http://bit.ly/2LFhRz — looking forward to trying it out
09October2009 09:50
did enjoy dan hill's closing #keynote; especially loved the idea of making the invisible data in our environment visible #wds09
09October2009 09:48
fled #wds09 closing drinks but didn't make it home before the downpour so i've stopped at world square for another drink
08October2009 21:31
off to #wds09 day 2; my big (if delayed) discovery from last year was Chatter (twitter, ambient intimacy); wonder what it'll be this year
