So, the future is going to be even more exciting. In the next couple of months I’ll be going through the motions of buying a car, finding a flatmate, getting a fortnightly salary (compared to the monthly one I’ve gotten so used to) all American style. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t make this move for the money. I won’t be much better off here than I was in Australia, but the difference is I *won’t* be in Australia. Mexico is only a couple of hours away by plane. Jamaica ain’t that far either. South America – just a wee bit south. Problem is that due to my Visa extension I won’t be going outside of the US for another few months until processing has been completed.

That doesn’t matter though, there is enough going on over here to keep me busy. The French food and wine festival is on this coming long weekend in New Orleans and I’ve made plans with a couple of friends to go for a road trip. I haven’t been a tourist for a while now so “I’m excited”.

Adios muchachos.

I’ve given myself the weekend to think about this and do some more figures. I should know myself better. Although I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while, I have a gut feeling that says something isn’t right with the current terms and conditions. I’ll update how things go on Monday, which is my deadline for replying.

I’ll put it sort of cryptically – tomorrow I hand in a piece of paper that says ‘next time, my flight from Australia to the US won’t be return’.

Noooo! Lately I’ve been feeling it… I’ve been working absolutely ridiculous hours at work and I’m nearly getting used to it. I’m coming to expect it of myself. This has to change, and it has to change now. I admit I may be a little nerdy – heck look at my bloody blog icon – it’s from a bleedin’ 1986 Nintendo game. I used to read microprocessor spec documents ‘for fun’. Shit shit shit.

I watch Dr Who, I watch Battleship Galactica, I own Star Trek tapes.

Crap crap crap.

Well, I may as well accept the fact.

So you can imagine how cool I find the Electronic Entertainment Expo! Dang, those PS3 videos look absolutely awesome http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/16/news_6124681.html.

*sigh*

However, I am proud to say that I couldn’t care less about missing out on the premiere of Star Wars and actually only getting to see it in, ooh, a week or two. Episode 1 sucked hard, Episode 2 sucked a little less and maybe this one will be ok. Meh, whatever.
