Random Thoughts

I did more marketing on the weekend - visiting markets and wandering the streets.  It's like being in Hamburg again, but with smaller markets and further to walk between places.  Seriously, Auckland has real problems with the flow from one area to the next.  Wellington never suffered from it, but I'm not going to let that stop me.

What else?  Work is manic, and it hit me today that I have a mediation every week now until the end of November.  Cool, but scary as I'd quite like to have time to actually do work rather than gloss over things with the time I do have to spare.

I also very much recommend Haruki Murakami's Kafka On the Shore or The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles.  People describe Salmond Rushdie as writing magical realism; Murakami is more towards magical surrealism, and based in Japan.  If you had to choose one first, read Kafka.

Now it's time to get ready for the next day at work, I'm looking forward to my escape to Wellington next week.
