I’m sitting here in the Ft. Lauderdale airport casually browsing the Internet and basking in the fact that they have electricity here and sadly I still don’t. Not that it really matters since in a few hours, actually I guess it’s a day from now. I’ll be in London sitting in a hotel room with it’s own electricity, and ability to have a hot shower. You have no idea how happy that makes me, I think mostly I’m going to be happy just to be able to turn on the TV and watch a show. Of course because it’ll be London it means I’ll be able to turn on the telly and get a footballing show. Which you can be damned sure I’m going to do, after all I am going over there just for the footballing. Hell I won’t even have much time at all to sit around and get comfortable before I have to go over and get to Highbury in time for our match against Sparta Prague.

Which is fine by me, because I woke up this morning at 6am feeling like it was Christmas. Sure I might not have any presents to open, but simply going to London feels like a present to me now. I was worried earlier in the week that I might not be getting a paycheck at all before London, which I was banking on because that was going to be my spending money. However my office managed to get power up yesterday afternoon and so I was able to find out that I will be getting a paycheck, it’ll just be coming a day later than usual. Which is good because otherwise I’d be fucked, especially since the money my parents lent me so I’d have at least something to spend, ended up getting mauled by my fucking Car Insurance payment going through. So the $500 that was there, turned into $285, which translates to a little more than about 140 pounds. Which isn’t a whole lot to last me 5 days.

So instead I have enough money to spend on getting new Arsenal kits, some shirts, and hopefully some decent food this time around. Also I’ll have to support my drinking, which if it’s anything like last time, was massive. And that suits me just fine damnit.

Ok, I figure I should get going, I think we’re boarding soon, but you can bet your sweet bippy I’ll be updating tomorrow once I actually get into London
