Hong Kong and Macau

Photos are up.

When I have more time to reflect on my travels, I'll talk about them.  For now... enjoy the photos.

YARGH!

My laptop... the one that had a cup of tea 5 months back... decides it wants to work again.  Unfortunately, my previous archive drive is likely to be dead for good.  Great news... My laptop is working.  Bad news, I still have to give Lenovo a piece of my mind about their warranty policies... That, and my Sansa clip is still non-operational.

HDD

Ugh... Found out I can't recover my lost hdd at home.  If I want some of the photos back, I'll have to send it in to a professional to get it fixed, and unfortunately that'll cost too much.  I'm missing most of this year's earlier photos, the last bits of when I was in college.  Fortunately (or unfortunately) I wasn't taking too many photos early in my trip to Japan, so the loss isn't as great.  I think I've also lost some important documents too... but I think those are somewhat recoverable as I go along.

Sigh... what a pain in the ass.

On another note:  Life is starting to settle down and I'm starting to become productive again.  Let's see if I can keep it up today.

Nightmare

Had a repeated nightmare last night... well ... dream maybe. I already forgot what it was about, it was in two parts. First part had something to do with me being the leader of this family of monsters or demons... but they seemed kinda normal to me except I was more like a king than anything. Second part was me fleeing from something under the same theme as the first part... I think. Anyways, I woke up halfway through it (cuz I think it got too bright to sleep (the sun wakes up early in this part of the world)) and when I went back to bed, I repeated the dream, except this time, I noticed more details about the world I was in. Pretty nifty stuff. Its been awhile since I've had a dream structure like this where I revisit places in my dreams. I think the last time was in Feb or Jan... cuz I'm pretty sure I had one when I was living with Mitch... ... in the apartment... I think.

Japan

What can I say... this place is awesome.

Although, I would very much like to stay in one place. This whole travelling being homeless thing is very very tiring.

Photos
