back to normal life

woohoo! finally caught up to all Fringe episodes!
now i wait for it to resume in September.

i shall start catching up on True Blood next ;)

still deciding if i should do that 3rd chair tso audition.
they did accept my application, but i'm doubtful i'll get into second round.
well, i still have half a month to think before the deposit deadline closes.

now i go sleep...
gotta head to London at 6:30am to avoid traffic.
wtf...

association

a thought came to me after watching Conan O'Brien's interview at Inside the Actor's Studio, that a career is just like riding an elevator not knowing which floor you'll end up at.
while you're at the bottom or at the start, someone can occupy the elevator up there and not go down to let you go on.
but sometimes you encounter very nice people who would hold the doors and wait for you to enter, while you're frantically try to run to it 10 meters away.
if you're lucky, your ride up will be smooth without any stops in between.
or you could be unlucky, having to stop very often for others.
or even worse, you could have super bad luck being mugged, robbed, and hurt by someone in the elevator.
and at the worst case scenario, the elevator cable snaps, both the elevator booth and you fall to a certain death.
of course, it'd be nice if you can ride it all the way to the top and enjoy your scenery there.
afterall, that's what all of us secretly wanted from the bottom of the heart.

next goal

Chicago & Toronto

let's keep praying for Earth!

i'm just curious...
where did all that polluted nuclear rods cooling sea water went...?
we see them spraying it into the reactors, but where did it go??!

looking to plan for my next complete adventure.
so far my target is the atlantic maritimes.
at least i'll be far enough from asia, close enough from home, and my gps would have all the streets that my feet land on.

cutting short

don't think i'll need to write much about the recent happenings.
just want to say one thing though... that i'm more confirmed about certain things in life.
time to go do stuff at HOME!

眼睛快要跳出來了...

在電腦前呆了好幾個小時, 可以算是有點收穫.
找到了日本的 GPS map, 也把它傳到 SD card, 可以在我那陳舊的 Garmin 上使用.
可是小街道都沒有名字, 只有大街才有. 現在努力找解決方法.
可能要用英文版... 唉...

幾天都沒早睡, 現在很疲憊.
M 是晚了. 活該! (>_<|||)

最後衝刺

太好了! 終於 confirm 了京都過夜的地方!
是一個超酷的 designer capsule hotel, 可是分男女和超 modern.
它叫 Nine Hours Hotel (9H).
一定要去看看它的網頁 - 是那種你看了就想住進去的感覺:
http://9hours.jp/
這裡有英文旁白的廣告:

當然價錢比青年宿舍貴一倍...
我分散投資式的發信 reserve, 最後只有 2 間青年宿舍有床鋪.
不過我已經 book & confirm 了 9H.
換來是比較自由一點, 不過地點離 JR 站有點遠.

今晚終於把行程編好了.
接下來兩天要把所有的交通路線重新檢查.
再把所有的 JR 站內地圖背好, 和模擬轉車路線.

呀....
還沒有去看包包夠不夠大呢...
