The Flat

sorry, i had to say it...i'm slowly being converted

1. the dollar officially sucks.
2. lodon is officially expensive.
3. my place is going to be officially sweet -- but since i'll have no money left to buy food or drink, your visit may not be so sweet.
4. actually, warm beer is half price, so we're cool.
5. assuming my juvenile criminal records remained sealed, i'm moving in on oct 15. longer than i would've liked, but hopefully worth the wait. check out a few pics.

and now some other random observations...
1. when traveling down a road that is no bigger than a small bike path but is apparently a 2-way street, yield to the big red buses
2. indian food here is, for lack of a better word, brilliant. mandar would be so proud.
3. euro'08 qualifiers are on all the time...i love it.
4. mind the gap.
5. from sky tv news...a solid minute-long report on the air guitar championships in finland. some guy from japan - wearing a tiger sweatshirt and somehow oddly resembling michael flatley - won. the first prize...you guessed it, a real guitar.
6. seen: a gem of an ad in the richmond train station...
"kellog's crunchy nut...it's ludicrously tasty."
7. days in london: 6; days with sun: 6. it's time then i think to stop chuggin the haterade on british weather.
8. scotland is apparently the shit at elephant polo...who knew.
9. free william wallace.
10. you can in fact get peanut butter here...but only after a really strange look from your server, a minimum ten-minute wait, and out of a jar that was probably found behind an ally dumpster or something.
11. .co.uk rules.

anyway, real world starts tomorrow. hopefully i'll get my computer up soon so i can upload a few pics. i have some gems. and sorry for the mass emails, but write back and let me know what you're up to. until then,
cherrio mates
