ladies and gents....

allow me to present Frances, the brat... errrrr I mean cat.



We interrupt this Jet Lagged blog for a Geek Moment:

This! is fucking cool.



The Score:

Sushi = Yummy. Except for the snapper

Peter Gabriel = Decent. I've seen him do a better show. I'll probably go into more detail on the morrow.

Vancouver.= O. Canada.

Peter Gabriel (again) = Much better show. More active crowd

KLM and the blue liquor that they give you.. = ahhhh sleep.

The Netherlands. = See previous entries about no Hookers or Hashish

The Solstice (Possibly from within the arctic circle) = From Amsterdam. T'was a day of Museums.

London = Dank. Rainy, no grid.

London Theatre. = A treasure trove. from which, I chose poorly

A meeting that may just turn into a partnership/job interview sort of thing = Promising.

The Celebration of Dead Baby Jesus' Birth from some drunken, cynical barstool in London. = Indian Food. with 18 choices
within 5 blocks on my hotel, I chose poorly.

Finland = 30 C below. Most taxicabs there are Vans or Volvos

Aurora Borealis = Too cloudly. Too far south. Too few Sunspots. Though there was a Finnish re-creation of Stonehenge in Kemi in a field next to my hotel.

Finnish Rock Clubs = Didn't Bother.

Finnish Rock Cathedrals = Too cold

Finnish Sushi = Your local Wallgreens sells better.

a visit to the Nokia World Headquarters (hacker tourism) = Too cold.

Finnish Mexican Food. = Fried Shrimp.

No Laptop = Score 1 for less luggage.

No Email = HAH! I lasted about 4 hours.

No Blog = see above.
