So time to type a little with some updates. Back to a list I think to get it all out
Flat stuff
– I have a new flat and indeed a new flatmate. She’s a V regular who posted in my thread looking for advice. The flat is in Primrose Hill and it’s a converted old mansion block of
some sort.
– I move in at the start of November and there is loads of space for bookshelves and the like.
– It’s about a 40 minute commute to work which isn’t too bad. It’s all on the tube tho…which is kinda bad but I shall see how it goes. There are a few ways of getting there to look into.
– Alex, my new flatmate has a dog. It’s a small(ish) Spaniel. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned before that I hate dogs. I don’t really hate them, I’m just in general scared shitless by them. I had a bad experience with a large Alsatian when I was about 10 and I’ve not gotten on well with them ever since. However I met the dog last night and all seems fine.
– I’m looking forward to using the move to organise my stuff. I’ve always loved being able to sort my books onto shelves. I need to get some new shelves and I’m planning on spending some time getting all of my books and graphic novels onto the shelves in some kinda order.
In other news.
– Work is pretty shit. I left in a really bad state this evening and just went down the pub with Rich. For the first time in a long time I had some vodkas, all mixed with coke. I’m sitting here typing after having at least 6 of them and not feeling a thing. 6 pints would have had me a little woozy at the least. So it was good. We didn’t win the bar tab tonight but the person that did wasn’t drinking much and bought a round for the people sitting nearby which was well us.
– I don’t remember being so glad it is the weekend in a good while, so having Monday off is a real bonus.
– Hugh gave me four new episodes of The West Wing to watch over the weekend. This is a good thing.
– I finished and loved (again) Alfred Bester’s The Demolished Man and I’ve moved onto Phillip Pullman’s Northern Lights trilogy. I had read the first book before but never moved onto the other two mainly because I didn’t have them at the time. So I’m reading it again now and I have the other two to follow it.
– Some downloading to go overnight I suspect. The usual shows are out. Watching them tomorrow morning(ish) sounds good to me.
– I’m so looking forward to sleeping now. I want to not have to worry about getting up in the morning. I want to wake up naturally and laze about for a while. Party kicks off at 7, and my plan is to get some food in town before hand so I’ll head in there for about 6 and take it from there.
– I had stuff I wanted to mention but of course now that I’m typing stuff I can’t remember any of it. Ah well another time perhaps. Good night
