Olympic Champion of Being Busy
I’m busy and after a few months of cruising and doing a lot of lazing around, I’m certainly not used to it. I’ve got a friend staying with me who does a good job of dragging me out of bed to Olympics events and tourist attractions and also makes sure we hit the town pretty hard at night.
It means lots of early mornings and late nights and also means I have to think of someone else when I make my plans. Since I’ve always got somewhere to be, I’ve had zero time to devote to working which is why my blog posts haven’t really existed this month.
But it’s a good kind of busy so I don’t mind at all. It’s awesome to see my friend, the Olympics have been amazing and there will be plenty of time to devote to work and alone time in a few weeks so I’m going to live in the moment, enjoy the ride and hope that things don’t fall apart for me on the web front.
I sort of like this whole being busy thing. I’m almost laid back to a fault so having someone around to motivate me to get going and test how much I’m able to cram into a day has been a good learning experience, even if it isn’t work related. I’m not sure how much more I can take of it though!
Olympics updates to come at some point. I just got back from seeing Bolt set a new 100 meters world record which was very cool. Go Canada!

I've been travelling since January 2008 living off earnings from the web. Follow me as I bum around Asia and beyond, getting up to mischief and working online as I go. 
Sounds fun! “Carpe Diem” and all that! LOL
It’s the way to live!
Kirsty, you are a smuck!!
Enjoy the hard… uhm… play!!!
I’m so jealous! I’d love to be there on that history making night (though give me the velodrome any day. COME ON THE BRITS!)
The Olympics are only every four years for two weeks. Live it up if you fortunate enough to be the the right city at the right time.
USA ALL THE WAY!!
I am jealous, would have loved to have been there for the mens 100m final!
Mark that’s a great way to look at it. Plus I only get to see my friend every year or two so might as well enjoy it all while it lasts!
Rhys it it was a great day today for GB. My friend was at the velodrome with another mate but they were probably more interested in the Aussies.
I got to see Canada win gold in rowing which was amazing. We’re already making plans for going to London 2012 which I have a feeling will be a bit more expensive. Just a bit.
Wow lucky you Kirsty ! Sounds like a lot of fun happening there…
I just found your blog, and you combine all that I love - blogging and travel! Expect to see me around more often in the comments section. It’s exams right now, so I am so out of touch with the olympics, but my Canadian roommate and I duke it out as I vote USA! Looking forward to reading more!
