I don't update this much anymore;

I am at work and really, do not have time. I do want to accounce I signed a lease for a new flat in London, which is exciting. I'll be living in the North of the city, sorta near Camden Town. I like privacy, so that's as descriptive as I'll get. In addition, things are chugging along; thesis is coming together, all is wonderful with Alice and I'm looking for better work, even though I have enough jobs to keep me busy. I don't have enough to keep me fed. Such is life. More soon. I'm seeing Hayden and The National tomorrow in Amsterdam; should be fun.

Until then, here's a widget:

Hello...

It has been raining in London for three days straight. I go back to Amsterdam tomorrow. That is all.

Update....

I have had no time to update this blog, let alone do anything aside from work and school. Yesterday, I said to hell with it for a few hours and caught up with some old friends before watching 'Who Killed the Electric Car.' If you haven't seen that movie, it is well worth renting; very interesting and disturbing. Made me happy to live in Europe.

There is very little time when you live in two cities. It's funny how romantic my life seems to outsiders, especially when I saw I live in two cities. But the romanticism of it all is not true, as really, it's tough to keep on top of everything when you are constantly in flux. I am adapting, though, and all is well.

Thesis is coming along, slowly but surely. The next two weeks will surely be hell school wise, but every November a time like this comes and kicks your ass. I remember complaining about the same thing at Leeds and McMaster. It's the same here, except more individualistic; I don't really have classes, just priorities and commitments.

So today marks the first frost in Amsterdam. Winter has officially begun. The weather has been actually fine as of late, but very cold. It feels, well, more like Canada. Other than Amsterdam or London, I have stayed put as of late. I plan on heading to Rotterdam and Utrecht in the next few weeks, as well as Wales in December and up into the country north of London, but that's all. I certainly am slowing down for a bit. More traveling in 2008 will happen, but not at the level of 2007. I travel too much.

Hope all is well with everyone, really. I'm smiling.

nothing to report...

really. I had a crap flight yesterday. BMI = incompetence. They are just wretched. Large update on the way this week.

Listen to Kae Sun

Update....

I am in London now, just catching up on some work whilst trying to get ahead of other. I made a promise to myself and my thesis advisor that I would have 1 (hopefully 2) full chapters, in addition to the one that is already 3/4 done completed by the end of the month. I am freaking out a bit, but I think I'll get it done. I've also started house-hunting. I don't know who, if anyone, reads this, and I like privacy, so I won't say where. It is in London though.

I miss Amsterdam; the city is so beautiful in the fall, especially when it's crisp and you can sit outside at a cafe, beside a canal, and just relax. I'll be there every weekend in November, and I am looking forward to it to a point you cannot even believe.

Other than that, I'm just settling into work, plugging away and focusing on Kae Sun for 2008. I will also be home for a few days in January. Fun!
