Hey Reggie I read your page too!
When I'm near a computer and I'm not paying too much I read back and catch up on most people pages. But I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder who is reading my page.. Its kinda funny after a few years of sitting in front of computer everyday at work then 18 months of travelling my computer use has changed a lot. When you are paying, sometimes as much as '4, $6USD, or $10NZD and hour to sit in front of a PC you really change your priorities. Sometimes that means you don't get a chance to really reply to people mails or just browse around the net.. bit of pain. I also get sick of making lame excuses for short entries, or signing off tiny mails with the old.. 'well I have 2 minutes left' or 'this is costing me $x/minute'. Also it means i don't have time for much else other than what I'm up to, where I've been entries here. I would like to say more here about how I felt about something, or at sometime but I just don't find the time.


So back in Guildford last night/today. Checked out with the Strood posse and I can doss there until the end of May (When they are getting kicked out - again..) So picking up the rest of my luggage from here and bailing back to London tonight. Great the train and tube with piles of luggage.
How fun.


So since I've been back in England the weather has totally sucked. It hasn't managed to rain but its dross overcast and nearly raining all the time. No blue sky, not much sun .. and bugger all weather that's warm or cold really. Sadly enough I realised its been over 6 months since I last got rained on. So I'm kinda looking forward to some solid rain.


Got all my photos of the remainder of Winter Park and our road trip developed. Four rolls of 36 shots. Ditched about ten prints straight up, since they were just bad, or poorly taken. Little disappointed with some of them since they're just a bit too 'snap-shot' if you know what I mean. But its hard to take a decent photo when you're leaping out of the car for like 2 minutes somewhere you've never been before. I remember on trips with Leon we used to stop .. and he'd take like 10 photos and spend about 30 minutes at least pissing about. Most of the photos he was unhappy with, and there would always be at least one of me lying on the bonnet in the sun waiting for him.. or looking bored.. but 1 in 30 of his photos would be wicked.
