T- 13 days

Well. It's getting closer.

I still have no idea where we (Kataya and I) are going to live, but I managed to get us a hotel for 3 days on our arrival, which gives us some time to find out about different living options and then indubitably (mostly a biblical term) make the wrong choice. We're probably going to end up paying our asses off for a studio above a known crack-den, 15 clicks from the city. But hey, at least it won't be difficult to start slanging rocks when the money runs out, which it will, in about a month. Another interesting thing is going to be the level of teaching at the university, as well as the general skill-level of the students. Why is that important? I'll tell you why. The lower the level, the less work I have to do to pass the courses. (which I need to do in order to keep the government funding going) And the less work I have to do, the more time I have to travel around the city, the region, the country, and Southern Europe causing general commotion and playing with the boundaries of normal social conduct by, for example, asking random people whether or not "this is their tapasta", and then laughing my ass off, while they stare at me in a mixed state of confusion, pity and annoyment. (it's a real word, like gleeba)

Oh btw, as long as i'm jabbering about useless crap, which incidentally is my forté, i may aswell inform you, that i'm going to London tomorrow to meet the Mart-man, a buddy of mine who will shortly have a Ferrari with moonwalking rims. So i'm probably going to write something about that after the trip, assuming that it rocks, which it will.

For now, peace.
J.
