I like this

Stolen from lark_ascending.

What I like about the place where I live

- it's tiny but I have my own shower room and kitchenettette (i.e. smaller than a kitchenette)
- it's reasonably quiet
- I have essential European amenities that would be considered luxuries over here (mixer taps, double-glazed windows you can open completely to the inside - not just one panel etc.)
- my landlord is only in for a few weeks at the time, with three month breaks in between
- my rent hasn't gone up in the nine years I've lived here and is now very good value for what it is
- I live in one of those nice pockets of Arbury/Kings Hedges, both neighbours to the left and right are lovely and one of them is a car mechanic but chav central isn't far away
- Chippy/Chinese take-away, small Tesco, cash machine are all less than 5 minutes walk away, a good butcher a bit further.
- easy access to A14/M11

Too many books...

I only just got rid of two boxes full and already have a stack of new ones to get through:
The Sparrow (just started), Children of God, Anansi Boys, the two latest Edge Chronicles books and wicked_wish's Two and Twenty Blackbirds.

I think I need to find a job in London so I can read on the commute...

Unfortunate name of the day

Sarah Lillicrap
(reporter on ITV News)

[Serenity]

It's reviewed on Film 2005, which just started so tune in now!
Here's hoping for Jonathan Woss!

Edit: I guess this review couldn't have been any better! Rah!

Go Serenity!

ION, the guy who plays the Operative in Serenity plays a drag queen in Kinky Boots. ;o)
