The flat is in Primrose Hill and it&#8217;s a converted old mansion block of<br \/>\nsome sort.<br \/>\n&#8211; I move in at the start of November and there is loads of space for bookshelves and the like.<br \/>\n&#8211; It&#8217;s about a 40 minute commute to work which isn&#8217;t too bad. It&#8217;s all on the tube tho&#8230;which is kinda bad but I shall see how it goes. There are a few ways of getting there to look into.<br \/>\n&#8211; Alex, my new flatmate has a dog. It&#8217;s a small(ish) Spaniel. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever mentioned before that I hate dogs. I don&#8217;t really hate them, I&#8217;m just in general scared shitless by them. I had a bad experience with a large Alsatian when I was about 10 and I&#8217;ve not gotten on well with them ever since. However I met the dog last night and all seems fine.<br \/>\n&#8211; I&#8217;m looking forward to using the move to organise my stuff. I&#8217;ve always loved being able to sort my books onto shelves. I need to get some new shelves and I&#8217;m planning on spending some time getting all of my books and graphic novels onto the shelves in some kinda order.<\/p>\n<p>In other news.<br \/>\n&#8211; 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&#8217;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&#8217;t win the bar tab tonight but the person that did wasn&#8217;t drinking much and bought a round for the people sitting nearby which was well us.<br \/>\n&#8211; I don&#8217;t remember being so glad it is the weekend in a good while, so having Monday off is a real bonus.<br \/>\n&#8211; Hugh gave me four new episodes of <i>The West Wing<\/i> to watch over the weekend. This is a good thing.<br \/>\n&#8211; I finished and loved (again) Alfred Bester&#8217;s <i>The Demolished Man<\/i> and I&#8217;ve moved onto Phillip Pullman&#8217;s <i>Northern Lights<\/i> trilogy. I had read the first book before but never moved onto the other two mainly because I didn&#8217;t have them at the time. So I&#8217;m reading it again now and I have the other two to follow it.<br \/>\n&#8211; Some downloading to go overnight I suspect. The usual shows are out. Watching them tomorrow morning(ish) sounds good to me.<br \/>\n&#8211; I&#8217;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&#8217;ll head in there for about 6 and take it from there.<br \/>\n&#8211; I had stuff I wanted to mention but of course now that I&#8217;m typing stuff I can&#8217;t remember any of it. Ah well another time perhaps. Good night<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So time to type a little with some updates.
