I’ve had my Shiraz wine as an aperitif.
I’ve had my Carlsberg to go with the sausages and the salad.
I’ve got my Earl Grey for the rest of the evening.
I’ve got Deep Purple.

I’m fine. Well, I’m better than I was a couple of days ago.
The dinner has been a nice one, easy and fast to cook, but so enjoyable and nice that it is sure helping me feeling better (and full :p) right now, but what I think it’s really making the difference, is that I know that tommorrow I’ll take service again, after about 10 days at home (between OFFs and STANDBYs).
It’s quite strange to realize (in fact) once again how much I’m addicted to the job I do, and how much this is part of my nature now. When I am stuck on the ground, for whatever reason it is, I kind of suffer, it’s just uncomfortable for me not to fly. The point is most of the time I don’t see what I do as a job, I simply do it because I like to do it, which I think is kind of lucky situation to be in, when doing something that you like is actually earning you money to buy your food and pay for the roof you’ve over your head :p
The point is: I’ve a lot of addiction, really a lot. A large number of them are not exactly listable here [;)] but sure their common trait is that they make me spend money, not earning anything in return in the form of currency. Yes, they give me satisfaction and good pleasure, sometimes, but having my actualy real job listed among them is a kind of big luck. That’s why, probably, I’ve not thought too much about moving from Italy to UK to continue being a Cabin Crew, being what I like to be.

I don’t know exactly why I’m writing it here, actually this is probably the most personal post I’ve ever made here on the-shrike.net, but tonight I felt like doing it, and here it is.
I’ll be flying to Paris tomorrow afternoon, so enjoy your week-end in this side of Europe (and the world) while I’ll be flying over Siberia to Tokyo at 38000 feet… and semi & improperly quoting one of the character from one of my most favourite series ever:

I’m Federico, and I am almost happy…

Being 27 is fun, even when you don’t have a proper (at least in the common meaning of the term…) birthday to celebrate.
But let’s say it’s even funnier when your neighbour/friends get the right idea for a fantastic gift, and happen to walk through your door hanging a big red box that seems to weight quite a lot. And it’s (finally) definitely amazing when you open it to realize that it’s full of 27 different varieties of beer (in bottle and tin), one for each of the year you’re old.

A great gift indeed, which reminds me of my sister’s one for my 26th birthday, even if this one is definitely huger. What I really need now are some money to buy me a set of proper glasses to taste all that beer… this reminds me I am still without a job ¬_¬

Anyway: good 1st of March and a good non-birthday to everyone out there!

(the picture is even the living proof that the 3.2MP camera of my N73 rocks, and that this mobile even works as a USB mass-storage device under Linux without a flaw. Amazing! But that’s another story.)

In my daily geeky trip throughout all the beauty of the net, i always find out something very interesting and very useful. And what’s best than coming here to share it with you all?
This is because i love you, of course :p

So here it comes, Droogle.
No more unused and forgotten alcoholic beverages in your homes, now with just a click you know how to best enjoy them, obviously mixing them together!

Your kind curson suggests: this! ;)
