On the Road Again
Now that I’ve been home long enough for my soul to catch up to my body, it’s time to hit the road again. I leave Friday morning for Tokyo for a week. Generally I prefer to do a minimum of two weeks for trips that far just to make it seem a bit more worthwhile, but the latter half of the trip, which was to New Zealand, was canceled. Probably not an awful thing, considering the flight from Tokyo to Auckland is only 14 hours or so. Tokyo is a pretty cool place though, and hey - it gives me something to blog about.
I’ve been lazy about updating the gallery section with the pics from Hong Kong and Australia, but I’ll get to them sooner or later. Just figured I’d mention it because people have been asking about them. I need to weed out all of the crappy ones (most of them) and upload the rest, but I’ll try to get to them soon.
Also, it appears that the luggage apes have done yet another bag of mine in, so it looks like I may be shopping for something new. It’s too bad - I had such high hopes for this one, but the zipper got ripped apart by the loving caresses of an overzealous baggage handler that has seen one too many World’s Strongest Man competitions on late-night ESPN.
Anyways, stay tuned for more fun with odd wiggling foods and more.

the universe doesn’t want me to run any more instances, EVER.
New Zealand would have been kickass, you could have traced out the path Frodo and Sam took to deliver the ring. That would have been some fun times.
Besides, by the time I get back we’ll probably need the same ones anyways.
Dave sez…
Tell ya what - we’ll run anything you want when I get back. Just gotta enlist the other cool folks to lend a hand.
I agree that NZ would have been cool to go to, but I’d much rather do a vaca there than have to work. When I travel for work, my time is kinda limited, so it’s not nearly the same as going somewhere to chill out and enjoy the scenery.
BTW - doing the Frodo and Sam thing may be difficult now - there was a mudslide last month on that mountain that wiped away some of it. See http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13573252,00.html. It’s too bad, because I would have liked to have hung out with the Balrog - aka ‘Smokey Nuts’.
