3 Days To Go…
…and I’m getting quite excited now. But it’s excitement with a tint of sadness, which was quite apparent at the end of last night.
Lev and I went to Bas Vegas for a nice meal – complete with doodling on the tables:
Following that we went to see a rather high brow piece of cultural “infotainment”: Borat.
Despite the second half feeling like it was just treading over the same ground that the first half did, I still heartily recommend seeing it, if only to sit in horror whilst watching Borat and his rather portly producer running around a hotel stark naked and staring in disbelief at a crazy Christian Gospel ceremony in Texas – where Cohen doesn’t even need to make his character do anything ridiculous to make the audience cringe…
Anyway, after seeing that, Lev and I said goodbye “for a year”… and as I drove off I suddenly realised that, oh my god, I’m not gonna see my friends for an entire year.
It’s really quite scary.
Anyway, another goodbye happened today – this time with Gary Steers (him from SGR Colchester fame) and Sarah Soon-to-be-Steers:
They got me an amazing selection of amusing and useful gifts for the journey… including a pack of cards with a lame – sorry, great – chat up line on each card.
My favourite is the following:
“Hello. I’ve got 3 months to life”.
It’s just so wrong. I’ll let you know if it works… :-)
Right, time to go… got some getting ready to do for my Work Leaving Do this evening!
Til tomorrow (whereupon I might be a touch hungover)…
