Seems like no short trip this time around...

And again a night post from tha Billy Condo. Finally got some time to update again. Well actually, I don't have the time, that's why I'm posting in the middle of the night. But hey, In Memphis it's day time, so it's just the angle from which you look upon things I guess.

I have been very busy with the education and even though I have vacation right now, I still manage to don't have enough time. I've been looking on the Internet for a short trip outa here and even spend the afternoon at the travel agency. But it's gonna be hard.

Either everything is booked up, or the hotel is available but no plain seat or the train is booked up. Or I have to pay my ass off because I am alone and have to pay a fucking one persons commission so that nice deal that says: 'London: plain ticket and 2 nights hotel for only 69 euro' becomes a 320 euro nightmare! And that's only flight and accommodation. So add up all things like food, tickets, transportation, the bar ;-) and so on, well, that's gonna be an expensive two days.

So I guess there won't be a trip out of here. I even looked at the option of going to one of the Dutch islands. But then I still have to pay like 250 to 300 euros for 4 days. And that's only accommodation.

I just cannot afford that kind a money for a few days. I need to invest a lot of money the coming time for my education and the various soft- and hardware I have to buy to get my MultiMedia Engineer thing rolling.

And of course I have to save up some money to go to the States somewhere next year. It's been almost three years already since I've been there last. I got an email from Don that he's about to sell his beautiful big house from the early nineteenth century (see picture). I always loved coming to that house. It will be strange to visit Don next time and not going to that house. I have some good memories of it.

That seems to be the trend lately in my life: change. And I hate it. Although it also can bring you new things, it's not always for the better. But I guess I just have to swallow it and move on.

Anyways, enough of this down bringing post. I'll be back shortly on BlackMylar Europe, which can use a new post and if I got the time maybe a new podcast. So I'll see you there, or maybe you'll read some more 'exciting' vacation stories on Pasquinel's Place. Who will know...
