It's been so long since I've been home for the 'ol X-mas season that I forgot how entertaining the guy that lives across from my folks is.
His Christmas decorations, while quite twisted and not for the kiddies, are oh so fun. It starts out slightly tame--an x-mas tree in the front window set up horizontaly and surrounded by black cats and pumpkins. Moving to...

Good god, has it really been a month since my last entry?!?! The Cruise Ship Universe's Time Warp Phenomenon has hit me hard. It's easy to lose track out at sea normally, but since my current ship is doing longer (10/11 day cruises) it's even harder. Used to be I could at least tell what day of the week it was by the port we...

Well, we made it to Miami. Oh such joy I feel!?! The trip from Boston was rather nice. 3 days at sea, but there were no Passengers on board so the crew got free range of the ship. The night we left Boston was he roughest seas I've ever felt. 2 1/2 years at sea and it was starting to get to even me

Ahh, the wonders of Sattelite internet. Less than half the reliability, 3x the loading times, and only 15cents a minute!!!
Well, what can you do eh?
i have found my new favorite place in the world, just edging out Barcelona, Quebec City. It is an absolutly amazing place. I walked around for hours and burned 2 rolls of film. It has a very European ambiance,...

So here I am, settled in on the newest ship in the world and feeling like I was never home. I am loving the run we are doing now, Eastern Canada and New England--tomorrow we will be in Quebec City until 11pm! I love the crispness in the air, the colors on the trees, and the bitter cold wind at night.

Ye Gods i hate packing. How does one decide what to take when you are leaving for 6 months. I find it pretty sad that my whole life essentially fits into 2 suitcases and a backpack 
Ahhhh well, out the door in 15 minutes. This is jercrow PDX signing off from this location. Next update from the ship in a couple days. Stay tuned for...

Oh the incessant ticking of the clock. Merely 2 more short days until I walk down that jetway and answer tha call of the ocean, ummm and the paycheck, for the next 6 months.
I feel the tide's grasp upon my ankles, attempting to hold me forever. I am in a situation where I am doing well, but I am not doing great. I make...

Hmmmm, home again. I had forgotten how much I love Vancouver, even if all the anti-smoking laws are a bit heavy handed. I'm all for non-smoking restaurants, limited smoking sections, and such, but a completely non-smoking nightclub?! Luckily, a number of clubs seem to have a look the other way policy when much.
The trip was great, although I was somewhat disappointed by one club....

Thank you, thank you! Welcome home hugs from my Mum and Faith, it doesn't get much better
I haven't really had a good a good night out yet this vacation--at least not one where the call of the dance floor is greater than the call of the bar?!? I've heard speak that the Back Room is a decent place to go, but my limited mobility this time around has thus far prevented me from attending.
I look foreward to any leads for weekend excursions. I need to immerse myself in good music to wards against 6 months of Salsa, Soca, and bad hip-hop!

Jobs? I'm at that point and I'm not kidding. Please email me.

I still have no pics of myself to put up, so the burning of my SIMS neighbors will have to suffice
Still no change to my sleep routine. As you can see from most of my board posts, most of which are between the hours of midnight and 7am. Happens every vacation though. I think the close confines and lack of total privacy on the...

We must be doubly careful in places like these. I'm sure there all kinds of nasty moustraps abound to catch our feet in the dark

Yup, dunno why I've had that quote stuck in my mind for so long, but it seemed fitting at the time
And the photo----I don't have a scanner so I only have a few photos that have been emailed to me from various ship-people friends Besides, when it's formal night on the ship, and you need a drink, borrowed ties and jackets are the price to pay. At least the ever so cool nametag doesn't show!

Here I am worried about so little precious time home, yet I waste it. 3 days hve gone by and I just hide away and fire up the computer. I turn in when the sun rises and stay in bed until as late as 6 or 7 pm. What a waste.
Time for a change I think. It's a nice, cool...

Mmmm, sorry I missed it, had to take a quick a quick breakfast /nap break. Just over 2 hours later and many new posts abound already.
Thanks for the heads up though.

When one works 7 days a week for 6 months straight all you can look forward to is vacation, yet when vacation rolls around it seems like too much and not enough at the same time. Normally I would have 6 weeks, which isn't too horrible. Enough time to have some recharge and recovery and still go out and play. It is also enough time...
