...asleep, I suppose, preparing for tomorrow's busy day. Put the horses out in the field, race back home, catch a bus to the airport, hang about at the airport (the worst part of flying), get to Dublin, check into room type place, hook up with the others, wander over to the Point... etc.

...but I'm not asleep. I'm not even fully packed yet, but maybe 85% there (toothbrush, camera, laptop, junk). Instead, I'm kicking back, drinking really sugary sweet tea an solving a last minute work problem. Got to love these 24/7/365 shifts. I'll need to remember to do the overtime paperwork when I get back... Wee, more time off in 2007. Like I didn't have about 2.5 weeks left out of 2006 already. I suppose that brings my total time off for 2007 on round and about 40 days. Yes, that's 8 weeks. What will I do with myself? Oh, right, go to some gigs... I suppose I'll manage that.

I wonder if this movie will be dubbed in Dutch. If it is I'm so taking my nephews to it for Christmas and expose them to their first bit of (evil) Bowie. I'd love to go a bit nuts with them and get them interested in music in general but their parents (my brother and his wife) are a bit fruity about some things, so I doubt they'd appreciate it. I don't think anyone is capable of living up to their standards Whatever. Never thought my bro would be so hard to deal with, but then I suppose we have kind of grown apart a lot lately. Our lives are just so different, so contradictionary.. Sometimes it's hard to imagine we're family. Except, of course, one of the twins is the spitting image of me as a child, so I suppose there's some genetics going on there. In a couple of months I'll have another niece or nephew... Weird that, from going to the smallest family on the planet to a fairly big one.

Positively rambling now, kind of mellow. Very neat... I need to sleep.
