Empty Cage

The reason for the lack of updates is a simple one. I have been doing absolutely nothing interesting. I know that sounds like a bit of a cop-out but it’s absolutely true. I’ll try to sum up some of the high points over the last few days to keep people at least semi-interested. I haven’t [...]

Title is a Beatles song quote that has been stuck in my head all day.
Only a short entry today as I didn’t really do too much. I spent most of the day at the British Library, and you would not believe some of the books that I saw there, you would faint with amazement — [...]

For the faint of mind my cute wording of escapes instead of the classic comments was switched back to the cliched comments tag. My mother can rest easy tonight knowing that I have done her will. All is now right in the world, and, do I suddenly hear the sound of beautiful birds singing sweet [...]

Yesterday’s entry is a bit dreary. I thought long and hard about what I had written here and read my comments very carefully. The big problems are the ups and downs, not just the downs. It’s very much how I imagine drugs (don’t I sound like such a prude now… Who am I kidding? I’m [...]

I’m going to now use text based images to explain to everyone something about my life, back in Canada everything seemed very much like the following line:
—————————————–
Notice, very static and unchanging, I could have lived life in my sleep and still gotten by pretty fine, here in England is a rather different tale, my line [...]

My last entry was so rushed it doesn’t make a word of sense, so sorry to everyone, I had very little booked internet time left when I started it. I’m now on the final leg of my journey from Whitby back to London, but I guess I need to start at getting to Whitby. I [...]

No, I didn’t do the Viking thing, I did that last time. However, I did tour the outside of minister and all of the cool little shops in the area. I was very, very stressed today for no reason, so I talked to the family a lot. As painful as it is to my pride [...]

Three big days in a row and I have yet to report on either of them. I am currently at YHA in York. I am ticked at the YHA of course, I get here tired and lost and the front desk guy asks if I want an YHA membership, as usual, I say no and [...]

I know it’s really only been a few days and that I shouldn’t have ever expected this to be easy and all of that lovely stuff, but I cannot help but be depressed at the fact that, holycrap I have no stinking job. I’ve been sort of gradually e-mailing my resume (CV) around but finding [...]

Orientation yesterday actually reminded me exactly how jet lagged I was, because between taxes and accommodation almost everyone had the dazed ‘jet-lagged’ sort of face on — except one Aussie guy and an American girl who seemed particularly loud, though likely only because the rest of us were so tired. Fortunately they both already had [...]
