The big post, as promised and postponed several times

Hello people, or those of you who read my blog in the very least.

First: the setting. I'm sitting in my comfortable, adjustable, very prominent chair, typing on my new desktop, as my laptop is still broken, it's raining cats and dogs outside, I'm having my tea done and meanwhile I'm sipping refrigerated sangria, thus further fueling my mild drunkness that, as usually, lingers around from two days ago.

Now, the trip first. I went on a cycling trip with Vocta, Tomba, Slev, Hořec and Mikee. It was quite pleasant experience, it took 4 days of actually moving and one day of sighseeing in Budapest. We did some 300kms, two thirds of which in two days. I must say, that with the heavy bags on the back of my bike (we carried tents and sleeping bags with us) my legs did hurt rather badly the fourth and fifth day. The weather was more than nice, it was searing hot during the days, very sunny (guys got burnt, I didn't, having been tanned from Croatia already), though the first two nights it rained and was quite stormy. The sighseeing in Budapest was rather tedious, as the city is very similar in nature and sights to my beloved hometown, Prague, only much larger. We had no problems on social level among our group, which was good. I can recommend the way along Donau to everybody and anybody, as the tracks there are very smooth, well-maintaned and it generally is possible to find a camp or some sort of accomodation (we only had to sleep outside a camp once, because we timed out journey somewhat wrong).

Next: the United Islands of Prague. What I had chance to witness was pretty nice (though I had serious problems determining the gender of the lead singer of Bratři Orffové band, in higher positions he sounded 100% like a female, at lower he was somewhat weird male, and he looked like a guy too) and I feel a great moron for leaving. I met there with a female friend of mine, Al the great friend of mine and some other known faces too. I left without uttering words of goodbye and without a reason. Well, almost. As I already told those of you that this matter involves, at times I get really lonely when surrounded by people having fun, be them my best friends, it doesn't matter. This feeling was stronger than I and I had to leave to be by myself, as I couldn't bear it. I know this doesn't make much sense and I hereby humbly apologize to those of you that this affected. Sorry, I will try not to do this next time around. It's stupid and insensitive towards you and it makes me miss out on great fun and stuff.

What's next, hm? My job is fine, I still translate for the Winsite company that provides services to the Prague City Hall, it's fun and it pays really well. My desktop is awesome and also a lifesaver - as my laptop broke on me. My plans for holidays are...well, next to none. I don't have nothing planned, but I would like to do things. Any ideas, any suggestions, any invitations?

I shall not delve into the intricacies of my love-life in this post, as they are rather bleak and disturbing and I do not wish to make this an emo-like post. I could, however, use your advice on this matter, preferrably in person, actually. Should anyone feel up to the task and would like to give me a tip or two on this matter, invite me for a beer or something, we'll make something of it.

I don't see anything else to post about in this very moment, so this is it. Any suggestions are welcome and you know it, right?

Toodle-pip!

    I believe I haven't heard that one before. I might start using that, just to piss people off.

  3. MtG -> Toodle-pip is a phrase from Jeeves and Wooster. I think it amusing. Do use it, old fruit, it will make you look unusual (well, even more unusual on any account).

    e -> No, I don't. Honestly, that idea of yours is not as tempting as you might think it is and even if I accepted it and took part, there are still three months left. So yes, I DO need ideas, suggestions and invitations.
