New house!!

Tonight is the first night in my new house(!) Actually, Saturday night was meant to be my first night .. But I didn't actually make it home. Katie's housemate was having a garden party and, in a rare turn of hospitality, London decided to be stinking hot. Many white wine spritzers later I decided to crash in Katie's bed. So after having a lazy Sunday over at katie's, I have finally branched out on my own two feet and made the short bus ride down to my new abode.

My new room is lovely!! It has a pretty little sloping roof, wooden floor boards, and a double bed decorated with soft, flower shaped red Christmas lights so that I feel like I am some sort of porno version of Mary Poppins. There is a cool jazz-ish pub on the corner called the Effra, and one of my new housemates is having her birthday drinks there this Wednesday. There are also a lot of people selling ganga on the corners, some evangelists blasting out words from our savior, and a chorus of arguments coming from most houses at most hours. Brixton is "colourful".

I am a bit interested in a job that I came across last week. It is working in product development for an SMS aggregator who specializes in "social networking" products. Bizarrely, perhaps, that stuff is really up my ally interest-wise so I am thinking to follow it up this week. Other plans include an outing to Brighton at some point in the next week or so. The girl whose room I am subletting is doing work experience down there for a few months, so it would be nice to visit and have a look around while the sun shines.
