2nd May 2008: Fool waiting

I escaped the mall eventually, after watching some crazy dancing water dance to a song from Juno (Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches). I wombled under and over ground for a while to get to the esplanade and emerged at the theatres on the river. Took some photos and then my camera totally broke, with some help from me, so I swapped to my new camera, which is soooo slim and awesome. It has face recognition. I don't know why. Or how. Or what it really does and why it would be useful to me. But it has it.

I crossed the river, enjoying the view and walked along the boat quay past a London pub called The Penny Black and then was harassed by every restaurant owner along the river. I arrived back at the hotel and spent a while writing up half of march on my blog as well as acquiring a few cheeky bits of music for my Zen. Finally my stomach wrestled me down to the boat quay and a guy from an Indian restaurant tried to get me in his place by offering me a free girlfriend. Though it eventually turned out he said free beer, so I happily entered, and had a very suspicious lamb rogan josh, that was a bit gooey. But I had a great table looking over the river, right on the edge. After eating my fill I went back, did more hardcore blogging, showered and watched some tele while finishing About a Boy by Nick Hornby, starting The Complete Robot by Asimov and listening to the Hilltop Hoods. Multi task bonanza.

This morning I lazily packed my bag, checked out, checked in across the street, dumped my bag, got a coffee and cheese 'n' ham croissant and wrote this. 3-4 hours till the world of Orpington crashes head long into Singapore.

Blam.
