The Kids Are All Right.

Yesterday I walked home from work. I didn't actually mean to, I was going to watch a movie and I was killing time before it started, I thought I'd figure out where the next bus stop was so I didn't end up wandering around aimlessly late at night but then I just kept walking. I'm pretty proud of myself that I managed to not get lost/break my ankle on a cobblestone.
I was trying to remember when it starts to get dark in winter at home, because it was like 5 o'clock and it was dark already. It felt kind of surreal because there were so many people on the street and shops were still open and traffic was everywhere but my brain was telling me it should be like 9pm.
I find it really annoying how there seem to be no rules about which side of the footpath to walk on in this town. Like there are lots of other taboos you must not break, just try standing on the left instead of the right on an escalator in a tube station and see how long it takes before someone yells at you, but when it comes to footpath walking absolutely anything goes. I try to stick to the left. It makes sense. Drive on the left, walk on the left. But I just wind up in an endless game of chicken.

Anyway. I did got to a movie, it had Julianne Moore and Annette Bening in it. They were lesbians and the chick from Alice in Wonderland and the kid from Bridge to Terabithia played their sperm donored kids. Mark Ruffalo was Mr Sperm. It was ok but predictable and it annoyed me a little bit. I won't tell you why in case you have a burning desire to see it.

The best part was that I saw this trailer:



It has everything. Eruptions, mystery, Finland, weird looking kids, a giant hole, guns AND Santa Clause.

I have been here for over a week now and I can't decide if the time has gone fast or slow. I'm just holding out for my first pay day because maybe then I can start looking for a flat and actually feel like I live here and not that I'm just on some shitty holiday where I have to go to work and don't get to do anything fun.

You should all skype me probably. Because I would like that. I'll even take a snapshot of you and put it on the blog! ALL ABOUT INCENTIVES.
