observations and random fleeting thoughts

A couple nights ago I woke up at 3 and stayed awake until about 6ish. During that time I realised the book by Hemmingway isn't called "The Sea" but "The Old Man and the Sea".

My new (used) iBook should be arriving in the post today - very very soon. But I have promised myself I cannot play until I have finished at least 1500 words.

I had a dream last night that I got a package in the mail and it had all the instructions/externals for the iBook but not the iBook itself. The package had obviously been ripped open and the iBook taken from the package.

I was face-stalking the ex last night in my rather over-extended facebook procrastination effort and realised from a comment one of his friends left him that he has a girlfriend now. It kinda stung. Not really overly much, but enough to be uncomfortable. I can't believe it's been over 3 years and it can still manage to hurt even a little.

I've been on an egg craze lately - eating an egg almost everyday. I started off with eating soft-boiled egg with sweet soya sauce and pepper (something I learnt to do in Indonesia - I was catching a cold and the people I were with in Sumatra took me to eat 'telur kampung' (eggs from village chickens). You get 2 soft-boiled eggs, crack them into a glass, add sweet soya sauce (kecap manis) and pepper and mix it up, then down it like a shot. I've moved onto hard-boiled eggs with my noodles in soup (hard-boiled eggs and soup = awesome) and once I had a hard-boiled egg by itself.

Similar to me doing my thesis last year, I dream about all the things I can do when all this is over. Learn/brush up on some language skills - both communication and programming languages. See friends in Edinburgh. Visit New Orleans (this probably isn't going to happen). Start life. It's kinda scary. I'm actually going to have to get a long-term full-time job for the first time.

Right I better start work - the sooner I start the sooner I get to play with my new toy!!!
