If I haven't mentioned before, when I lapse in writing this thing, it gets worse with each passing day. With more events to recap, the less I want to sit down and play catch-up on what's been happening. Somewhere between being busy, lazy, and mobile came the inevitable, immutable, result: Procrastination. That wicked time-thieving imp has remained Perched atop my shoulder daily. Whispering conspiritorialy in my ear "You can write in your journal tomarrow"

Persuasive lil' bugger, too..

There are a fair few things new in my world. Most of them unexpected and random. The road has been working it's signature magic; landing me once more hip-deep in unforseen circumstance, among intersting people, and in odd surroundings. The last time I posted here I was headed for Prauge, via Berlin, for new years eve.

Well, a few things worked out a little.. differently.

I never made it to Prague. I made it to.. Poland.
I have been living in Krakow for the past 23 days. Rent-free in a hostel.
I am working as a System Admin and Web Developer for the Hostel's owner.
It's deliciously weird here - and I'm delirously happy.
It's fucking cold as hell.

Hidden between the lines of the above facts, lie a great many explanations, anicdotes, and tales of drunken debauched adventure. Chock full of perlious hilarity, strange happenings, new friends, and good times. There are too many stories to simply summarize, and most of them really deserve a proper telling.

So rather than pay mere lip service to these chronicles of high-weirdness, I'm going to go back and write about them. In seperate entries, as I should have done initially. I'll have plenty of time to reflect and write as I sit huddled indoors, a refugee from the biting Polish cold - compiling Postfix in the dark.

So, I'll start with Berlin and start stiching up the the gap to the present. If you are keen to follow-along. you may do well to remember that I will be posting multiple entries simultaneously. So checking backward from the most recent is probably a good idea if you don't want to miss anything. To keep it all sane- I'll make a catagory called 'Berlin-To-Krakow' and post all the timeshifted entries there, as I'll still want to post new stuff here.

There's a catagory for photos now, expect to see it filling up with backlogged pics as well.

Warm Regards and Cool Runnings for all,
