Moments of Permanence - October 31st, 2009

About October 31st, 2009

evening 07:42 pm
This message comes to you from a four-star hotel in Aberdeen. Which turned out to be sliiightly more expensive than I thought it would be, as the internet access costs 15 pounds for 24 hours, but given I am, for reasons I shan't at this time go into, feeling really quite down, in discussion with Chas I concluded it was probably worth going with.

As it is, I'm getting some use out of it, as it occurred to me that with my expensive but unrestricted broadband I could re-install my Half-Life 2 series in the hopes that they'll actually work again. (Steam does have some advantages.)

When I entered my room the TV was showing a splash screen that welcomed me by name. That was a little freaky.

Still, given the forecast for tomorrow's weather is still "heavy rain", though the gales forecast seems to have passed, I think I can do worse than here. I have munchies, there's a restaurant, a gym, a pool, I have internet.

Biggest problem may be that putting my stuff *back* in my car may be annoying, as I ended up taking the approach of just dumping everything I thought I might want with me in my suitcase, but now the place where my suitcase goes in my boot has a bunch of stuff in it.

Later: Posting videos of tigers and photos of Scotland.

Current Mood: depressed
