The Time Traveller's Girlfriend

I travelled through time this morning. It could have been far more exciting, but I travelled forward at the same speed as everyone else. While it felt faster at certain points, when I arrived at work I realised it was 8:16am and I'd left the house at 8:00am. If my calculations are correct, this means that it took me 16 minutes to get to work, which is the same as most days.

Time travel isn't always everything it's cracked up to be.

'My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with.' - Oprah Winfrey

A Long Walk To Anchorage

Holler! 

Yes. Here I am. Ready to contribute to the world's leading half-assed and sporadic blog. Well, shoot me for being busy! Between a fleeting visit to Australia to gatecrash my dad's 60th, a mega, super typhoon on my second day back in Taiwan, showing Tegan and Sara around Miami, parking my 125CC scooter on my right big toenail and launching my solo career, there hasn't been much time for blogging. Oh and work hasn't exactly been understanding when it's come to giving me leave to hit the studio and rock out. Maybe I shouldn't have told them all that I started my guitar lessons a month ago? Nah! 

So, let's start with the fleeting trip to Australia. T'was glorious! Not much more to say about that really. Crackin' time, evened out the ratio of alcohol in Australia to that in Taiwan, we're tipping the balance again! I took one for the team by spending 6 minutes and 35 seconds of my trip sober. 

As for the typhoon, well we have definitely done something to enrage Mother Nature. While we all rejoiced at the chance for a day off work, we were hoping the long weekend would be granted without all the destruction that occasionally comes with the beasts. Many thoughts are with all the families affected. 

On a lighter note, despite the fact I showed Tegan and Sara around Miami, while I was sleeping (and in Taiwan, while they were in Canada). It really took it out of me. I felt jet lagged the next day after all that shopping. I'm still not sure if it's socially acceptable to include the events of a dream in the events of one's life, but desperate times call for desperate measures. 

I'm gutted to report that the next incident is factual and unfortunately wasn't contained to a dream as it should have been. The parking of the scooter on the big toenail did in fact happen. I'm trying to be positive about it, though. It served as an important function in community relations by further alienating me from my neighbours. Why is it that all the people that have restaurants below my block of flats can't speak a word of English but know the "F" bomb? 

...hmmm...on further thought, it might be the same reason that I know how to say it in approximately 20 languages. Well the world is a multicultural place and I guess if you can't get your point across any other way the "F" bomb comes in handy, even if it doesn't even start with "F" in the chosen language. 

Anyway, the much coveted Community Member of the Year trophy has slipped from my grasp yet again. I'll have to go for the Vagrant of the Year instead. Shouldn't be too hard! So, back on track, toenail is blue, still in tact however, which is a god send since it's just grown back. Who said I'm accident prone? Shut up! 

So as for my solo career. I'm spreading my wings and soaring. I might even have the debut album out earlier than first though. Prediction at press time is that it might be ready by January 15th of 2014! You heard it here first. I've got a mean G-chord on me now (and I'm not talking about my underwear). 

Stay tuned for sneak previews of the hottest album of 2014! 

Who's got a good quote from Oprah? Or at least something from her Book Club? What a gem! Rock out, y'all! Holler!

P.S Not sure what the blog title means. Any suggestions would mean a lot to me! ;)
