So Chinky Pinky sent me this email, which though not exactly original rings very true:

Ticket to Sri Lanka $1435
Changing the ticket coz the travel agent was stupid $86
Phone bill for bitching about changing the ticket $40
Spending New Year’s Eve in Sri Lanka - PRICELESS! 

Of course the heartache I had to go through for that end objective was a bit more than detailed above as was the amount I spent on my ticket, but the benefit to my mental health should be disproportionately larger. On that note is there anyone around for some quiet drinks, discuss blogging, photography, life in general? If so hit me up, childof25@gmail.com…

On the note of making connections does anybody know this chap Viraj Senewiratne featured in the Sunday Times this week? Ok ok I know it’s a bit dodgy trying to get hold of a 30 year old Thomian, in fact both Chinky Pinky and R on being asked this question snorted and mentioned that six months in San Francisco was probably six months too long. Fear not though I don’t have any nefarious intentions on this fine young gentleman I was just taken with the possibility that there might be some environmental entrepreneurs in sunny Sri Lanka and think that connecting with such people can only be a good thing. So if anyone does know him…please do let me know.

P.S. Was that request weird and stalkerly? I really hope not.
