Over the last week or so I have been getting really really bad cravings to eat chocolate right before I go to bed. Which I end up caving into cause they are really really bad. I'm going to have to work on stopping that, usually I'm pretty good abstaining from that sorta thing.
So whats new? Fuck all, just sorta sitting in limbo doing what i barely have to do to get by. Waiting for my money situation to sort of sort itself out, I spent quite a bit over the xmas period on everyone in my family, usually I have the cash to cover it and the usual 'life' expenses but this time I've fallen well short. Although I can't say that I have regretted buying/spending cash on the stuff I got for people or got for the flat, so that is generally a positive for me.
Waiting for all the uni shizzle to start up again for the year, this starts happening in just over a week from now, with all the allocating of classes, society meetings and other crap that will have to be done. This is good, I am feeling like I have minimal time but it is not like I am doing much with this holidays, apart from playing Civ4, which I am finally getting sick of (well for a while anyways).
I've been reading my books I got for xmas/birthday, I finished The Google Story not long after christmas, while I personally found it a fairly interesting read and started to get all my technology juices flowing in my brain again, I would have to agree with most of that 'Publishers Weekly' review found on the page I linked to be pretty true. The book felt like it was writting a chapter at a time and really bloats each chapter with covering stuff from earlier chapters and constantly reminding us how Google is a 'Good Company' and reminding us that the founders are well educated, 'good guys' that genuinely like each other and that Larry is a technology nerd (And hence the 'quiet one') and Sergey is the guy that actually has a personality (despite also being a nerd) and yada yada. But yeah, I still didn't mind it for all of that :) .
Currently I'm working my way through afew books consisting of
The Rough Guide to First-Time Europe. A bit light on with actual information about countries in Europe and has a lot of stuff in there that would be covered in any 'travel' book, but still I am enjoying reading it and it really makes me want to travel over after this last semester of uni.
1421: the Year China Discovered the World I'm liking this book, really gives a decent history on China in that era and how they actually sailed around the world to places like America and Australia hundreds of years before the history books state, seems pretty factual based too.
and last but not least Hacking Digital Cameras which is sorta reads like a collection of web articles about doing strange shit to digital cameras, one of the things I am really interested in doing from this book is making a car mount for my camera (on the inside near the rear window). Something I might get off my arse and do before school (but probably not).
