after whinging for some time about the lack of available retail therapy, the IT world has once again provided and so it is that i'm now sitting here with a ASUS EeePC 1000h on my lap while i sit in front of the TV. it's not that i have any care for the olympics, mind - it's just more sociable.
this little thing has sapped most of my spare time for the last week since i decided to take the plunge to use linux for this thing. different? check. technical challenge? check. frustrating... yeah, a little. still, i've got it working with the help of google and various forums and wikis and it's generally working pretty well for me.
other than that i've managed to find a lovely level of apathy for travel. things have been going... nicely, really. not that i'm wishing for it all to go to hell in a handbasket again, but if i didn't already have the tickets booked i don't know that i'd be going. that's silly talk, i know. perhaps i left it too late in the year and 6 months of prep was just too much. perhaps i should have stayed miserable. either way, i have something bordering on high-hopes for the coming months and one way or another i think i'll leave secure in the knowledge that when i get back there will be a life here to walk back into which is something i was never quite certian of in Perth.
it really has become a case of desperately trying to not think about how soon i'm leaving so that i can enjoy my days. when things were going poorly i couldn't wait to get out. now things are going well i don't want it to end.
oh well.
in the short term i have amusements planned for the rest of the week, and some rather pleasant company organised for the weekend. realistically that's all i think i can really hope for for the time being, and i'm quite sanguine for all that.
