Flight fail
Today was the day that I fly out to Shanghai ,China for some resource gathering for next years' studio art show, but things didn't quite pan out.

I guess there were some indicators that things just weren't going to go as planned when the flight was originally delayed from the normal departure time of 1:19pm to 3:00pm.

OK.  No problem, kinda sucks because I'm going to get there a liter than planned.  Original arrival into Shanghai was around five or so in the evening of the next day, but no big deal.  There would still have been time to get settled into the hotel and get familiar with the area around the hotel.

Again, the flight was delayed from three to five.

waiting, waiting, waiting.  Fine.  Decided to go to the book store and picked up a couple of magazines while I waited.

The plane did not get to the gate until around five, so boarding didn't get done until quarter pass six.

Finally, I thought, on my way across the sea.

Wishful thinking, indeed.

After sitting on the tarmac for another forty, forty-five minutes, the captain voice chimes in on the PA saying that there's a problem with the flight controls...

Every one's told to get off the plane and to the ticket counter for overnight accommodations, and that the flight will continue the following morning at one in the afternoon...

Really?

Oh, well...flow like water...

Quite a long and cool day
Started out before 7am to go surfing with the co-workers.

The Sunrise was beautiful.

The water was great - with a wet suit, of course, haha.

Waves were crap - got pounded, so not much fun, but it was nice to be in the water.  can't wait to get my own board and get better at it.  Too much fun!




The office was quiet.

Still feeling lazy as hell, which needs to change.  Starting to do some research for a DLC for next year because I got assigned the task Tuesday.




Gym at lunch, but was not into the workout:S




Got a nice surprise when I got back to the office.

My new computer has arrived!!!

It's been a long time since the last one, and that thing is running win2k:S  Hella slow on boot up and pretty much nothing really works on it - software wise.  Can't even browse the web very well at all. 

Now I'm set up and it's connected to the TV with wireless keyboard and mouse!  Freakin awesome!

Talk about a nice space saving set-up;)

Only thing lacking now is...software!

So, for now it's just a glorified browser:-I




So many things to do, so many things still needs to be done!

More cleaning around the place, organizing, throwing things away as I go through all my stuff.

Really need to get my life together.

Simplify

Simplify

Simplify...as much as I can.

Tons of books that needs book shelves for, etc, etc, etc.




Now to update the box blog.
