Picture Hosting and Inconvenience Stores
My picture hosting problems have been solved, with a little help from Ben a.k.a. MasterCyl over at -=Lansmash=-. Now all I need to do is get my pictures uploaded and redirect some links. With some luck, I will get around to this tonight.
In other news, I have learned an imporant lesson this week on taking things for granted. My local Lawson convenience store, situated an incredibly convenient hundred metres down the road from my flat is undergoing refurbishment this week - pretty much eliminating any utility it once had as a place for me to play consumer. After such a long and happy relationship, for this week I have been forced to choose between the close, but less appealing Family Mart a little way across the road and the large, but distant 7-11 further down the street. Both of which require more walking, and therefore less convenience. Woe betide me. Kinda.
It disturbs me somewhat the degree to which I have become dependent on having a 24-hour store a mere minute down the road from me - I have no idea how long it will take me to get over the withdrawl should I return to Australia.
