Did you know you can still travel across the ocean as a passenger on a boat?

Information

I have booked passage in a spare berth on a German freighter leaving from a port in Long Beach headed to Sydney, Australia. It'll be twenty-one days at sea with nothing to do but write the book I've been saying I'm going to write for the last three years. As a kid I read way too many Jack London and Herman Melville books so this is the sort of thing that appeals to my sense of adventure and turns on my creative flow.

The ship embarks on 16 February 2012. Needless to say I am pretty amped.

how much did you pay?

in sodomy...

the crew is filipino not german so it won't be quite as painful

sorry jayflip

21 days to write a book??

That's a hell of a deadline

The core of it is written already. This will be about arranging it and adding in what needs to be added. Still plenty to do but at this point it's more about getting three weeks of uninhibited creative process to pound out the rest (everything I've written thus far has been during a journey of some sort, I enter some weird state of writer's block when I'm at home or consumed with my job.)

Holy crap at the bottom it says beware of pirates!

Became a VERY interesting trip.

modern piracy is generally concentrated on several areas of the african coast, the malacca strait in malaysia, several areas in indonesia, and some southeast asian coastlines. the only landfall will be in new zealand - not much to speak of there.

if i want something extraordinary i'm going to have to hope a bigass kracken tries to sink the ship.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
