hello everybody. this is a temporary solution to a permanent problem...
and i can't spell... but this is it for now so enjoy... or don't .............An
act locally
the computer lab has been closed over much of easter break but is today through friday this week. even thought i really haven't got much to talk about in a way, i do.
taste like an english channel... (no i'm not taking a piss at andy...:)
monday, april 14th (richmond stn, ldn waterloo stn, portsmouth & southsea stn, southsea). i got a late start on monday and didn't depart london waterloo until about half five (pm). i arrived in portsmouth (via train) about two hours later got out and tried to figure out how to get to a hostel from the station. you know its kind of funny when you don't really plan out a trip and you have no idea where everything will be when you get there. the portsmouth area was a lot bigger than i thought it would be so i did a lot of walking while i was there. i found my hostel (for �12 a night, bueno) and chilled there for the rest of the night. gone in 60 seconds was on the tele. one of the people in my room was from france, the other two i didn't meet until later...
tuesday, april 15th (southsea, portsmouth). woke up at nine and left the hostel an hour later. walked around on the shoreline (right near the beach) for a while and then did some wondering. while i stopped to look at a map some lady asked "are you lost?" and i said "well, i'm just sort of wondering... um, where is the high street... where can i get some breakfast?" so she directed me towards the city centre. this journey quite the walk. i ate shortly after i got there. i then walked to the ferry port which was a hell of a walk and went check out the prices. i was planning on staying in france for two nights. the lady told me it would be fifty quid and i said "are there any deals or anything cheaper?" and she told me that i would have to go to 'the travel shop' to find out which was 'just up the road'. 'just up the road' turned out to be a twenty minute walk and 'the travel shop' turned out to be a travel agent of any type. so i went into the shop, waited my turn and asked them about any deals on the ferry. what they did was call the people i just talked to twenty plus minutes ago and offered me the same deal. so i asked if there were any internet cafes around and they told me there was only one in southsea... so i took the bus from the north end to the city centre and walked to southsea, finally found a library and booked a time for the next free computer. while waiting for my computer i had to use the loo and the librarian said that they didn't have one but the closest one was in a pub across the street otherwise there was the pubic toilet two blocks away. i started walking to the public toilet but then said screw it, i'll just go into the pub. the pub turned out to be a gay bar. i ordered one half pint of guinness, went to the loo, drank the guinness and went back to the library...

i'm back to my old habbits, i got shrimp fried rice at the chinese place on hampton hill high street. i walked in the resturante and as i approached the back counter where the bloak was standing he said "hello, can i help you... oh its you..." i then ordered the usual and we talked about china while i was waiting for my food 'to take away'. apparently he also studied geography in china.
after easter break i think i'll sell my bike and buy a bus pass for the remaining month i'll have left.

new, updated, & hopefully improved www.geocities.com/saintmaryscollege.
i'm just sitting here thinking about nothing looking at the thin air breathing up the oxygen
still working on the header, but i hope it looks better. i'm wearing a sweater, listening to yellow ledbetter. well, not really, but would you like to think so. hey look at me i'm bender... i'm a robot look at my head, my name is bender look at my head, i've got a big ol' head... all right thats it shows over.
as you can see i'm working with the header once again. eventually the entire top part will have a white back ground, eventually. i also changed the environmental link symbol from a world with people around it to the earth day icon (in the upper right corner), which is linked to a better site envirolink. there is also a link to wwf.org (world wildlife foundation) under the links section down the left side panel. i must say thought that i'm running out of room over there.
