Entry 03102103 // Bye bye summer

Well, some has come to an end. The weather is still warm, but there are clouds in the sky and it's supposed to rain all day today (still hasn't though).

Last night saw two movies: Pacific Rim and Monsters University.

To tell you the truth, expected a bit more from Monsters University... a bit more comedy and less predictability in the plot, but all together it was an interesting movie. Pacific Rim on the other had could've been way better than it actually was. There are somethings that didn't make sense in the movie as well as the level of predictability in the ending. Apparently they are working on the sequel, so that might actually be more interesting than the first one if they do it properly. I was sort of disappointed that there was no Japanese Jaeger as this mecha-giant monster movie is quite inspired by the movies, series and Japanese animation. But nothing can be done.

On the car news and getting my own place... well, still saving money to be able to get a decent car that won't break down on my long journeys that I plan to take around Europe. And can't find a nice place that I can afford in Barcelona. So on both fronts, the doors are still open.

Apparently, I'm going to be on "vacation" this winter, so trying to figure out somewhere to go to even if it is for a week or two - depending on how much it might cost me (a liver, or arm). And going to try and tie up loose ends on my project so that I can start hunting for financial support.

Also going to do a reboot of my online tshirt store, getting some sales over there, but I could do with some extra cash... well, better go and finish setting up the work station...

Heart of A Traveller - Scotland.

After working so many days together, finally have some days off. Although I'd love to go somewhere, I have so many things to do that these four days, I'm most likely to stay close to home.

Since I can't travel anywhere, the television has decided to take me sightseeing for the future. As usual there was nothing good on television, until a documentary started about Scotland - Scotland Revealed. It's a nice documentary about Scotland where they give you just enough information so that you know what they are talking about but at the same time they keep enough information, making you want to go there. It's presented by a geologist (note: one of my favourite subjects is geography), and apart from the history, she talks about the geography of the terrain as well. After seeing all the beautiful landscape and listening to the history, the only thing left to do is to actually go there!

And this year, I might just do that. I have a good friend who lives there. This way I can actually visit her and see one part of the world which I find very interesting.

[Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland]

I've always found history interesting and the rich, yet bloody, history of the English Isles is one of my favourites. This includes Scottish and Irish history as well. As many places in the world, with rich history, Scotland is no exception. Full of castles, lochs, mountains, history and nature... it just moved into one of the places that I have to go to (if you're wondering which other places are, you have a small list on the bottom left ;) ).

There are so many places in Scotland that I'd like to go to, that I don't think I'll be able to see them all in one stay. I just hope I don't forget my camera...

... at this very moment, that I'm writing this - I'm watching the documentary and Scotland just moved up to the second place that I most want to visit. Going to have to make a list with my friend of places to see!!! Can't wait >_<
