Alright, it took me a couple extra days to get around to adding to the travelogue, but here we go.
So John came and found me in a cafe in Granada, near the University, drinking coffee while it rained outside, trying to stay awake and read after not sleeping the previous night and flying in that morning from London.

You find the same ham in the south of France - pretty awesome. I remember when I was a kid and my dad brought one home, it was always like christmas or something 
Right, so, travelog...
I arrived in London Sunday afternoon, meandered around to Cakemix's place (who was so very kind as to put me up for the nights I was in town), and after dropping my bags, we walked down to the Lowlander for beers and food, then wandered about the West End, eventually settling at the Crobar for a few more drinks.

It's well worth seeing but as I said, try not to fall asleep during Tarantino's movie 
Ok ... I'm back in Los Angeles after 8 days between London and Granada.
I think it was about the right mix ... maybe should have done one more day in Spain and one less in London, but it was good to get both places in. I got to see all the old gang from London, and still go somewhere new and exciting where I'd...

aosoth:
the ham in Spain, huh? I try not to take it personally 
I'm packing my bags.
My flatmate is convinced I'm never coming back. I'm like 95% sure he's wrong.
Too much unresolved business here.
But you know, I never rule anything out entirely ... that wouldn't be me.
Later, cats.

Long, drawn-out conversation with the girl throughout the day yesterday, via text messaging. We finally actually spoke on the phone just before midnight. The conversation started around 10am.
Well, whatever.
I leave for Europe in 57 hours.

What day is it?
Ah, yes ... Monday. Well, I fly to London on Saturday. I'm trying to figure out when I'm going to have time to do laundry between now and then; I'm not excited about the prospect of showing up in Europe with just a suitcase full of dirty clothes.

I've been talking to the girl a bit. It looks like we might be able to work things out. It's probably going to have to wait until I get back from Europe, though, since I work every night until I leave.
She called the other night, asking if I had the night off, because she was down by the beach and wanted to go for...

So today, Friday, was the 5th anniversary of my mom's passing. It's the first time I've faced this as a sober man; in fact, it was the day she died that I started drinking heavily. Go figure.
I'd been expecting to be a total basketcase today, but once the day rolled around, I was fine. It was just another day. I don't know why I...

After something like 8 or 9 years, I finally had to give up my old Texas mobile number. I had to switch carriers because I had absolutely no reception at my new job, and barely passable reception at home, but they wouldn't port my old number. Well, they would have, if I'd gone back to Texas to do it, but that ain't gonna happen for...

3 weeks until I leave for London and Granada. I can't explain how excited I am.
It'll be different, being in London without being a total drunk the whole time. Last year when I visited, I was greeted at the airport by someone special, who took me straight to the airport bar, and that pretty much set the tone for the whole trip. I was...

Everything in moderation mate. You can still have a good time without getting hammered - the tough part is avoiding the bad influences in a city full to the fucking brim with heavy drinkers. Why not substitute booze with fine food? Drink less - east more. I've got a couple of recommendations for you while you're here. They aren't your usual standard mind - but very good eats for not much money.

urgh. I wish I was coming with you. I need to arrange to get a box of books shipped to Australia...
So, I'm single again.
Apparently I was such a drunken jackass Saturday night that the girl I'd been seeing just couldn't take any more, and cut me loose.
After I told her I was cleaning my act up and didn't want to be an alcoholic anymore.
She told me if I really was going to change, I needed to do it for myself, and not...

New job. New lifestyle.
I'm done with being a drunk.
Yep. You read it right. Seriously.
I wasn't a boozer until about 5 years ago. If I can make it through life to age 29 without being a drunk, I can stop being a drunk at age 34 and get my shit together.
I'm not saying I'll never drink again. I'm saying I'm done with...
