Hey kids!

Here's a fun thing to do if you have some kind of MP3 player with ear buds:

1). Plug earphones into player.
2). Start track playing.
3). Close mouth.
4). Insert earbuds into nose.
5). Open mouth, and your head cavity now serves as an amp.




This job is damaging parts of my brain I probably need.

I told Dave on NYE that each time I mention going overseas I feel like a liar.  This is because up until now, what I do has never sustained the life I've always wanted: one involving travel, meeting people and adventure in the most non-twee sense of the word. 

Well, I said goodbye to J today, and unless I make this happen I won't be seeing her again anytime soon.  And I know I'll do this.  Still feels weird saying it.  But I've got 8-10 things in the pipe, and if only a few pay off I'll make it over.  There's this job, selling my stuff, ELR/PLR, the novel sale, copywriting gigs here and in Helsinki, proofreading academic papers for a professor and a few other ideas.  And books like Feed Yourself for $35 A Week, which may become my bible between now and then. 

I'm glad she was here.  We had a blast. The idea of continuing this over there, in a well-paying job and a place of my own, until the book sales kick in... brilliance. 

Also looks like 2010 is going to include Helsinki, Berlin, Leipzig, Edinburgh and New York.  Fingers crossed.  Saving at a rate of knots.
