I now live in London.

Colchester all day today.
It was wet, but nice to see the bro again. Perfect pub lunch, shopping, then spent ages in The Range (limiting myself to £20). Since being back home I’ve sorted so much stuff, limiting myself to two boxes of stationery to live with in London (one box is pretty big).
Now to finish this glass of cheap vinegar rosé, then begin sorting clothes. Tomorrow is my last day back home, before I leave...
InDesign
Anyway, what’s up Tumblr?
I’m on Stella Artois Cidre. Belgian cider made with hand-picked apples.
Apparently.
I didn't mean to drink the whole bottle.
Or get drunk.
Fortinia Soave mmmmm.

OK, I cannot sleep. It’s quarter to three and I have spent most of the last three hours finding stories on the internet and getting Alex (the Mac speech tool; he has the best voice) to read to me in headphones while I try to get to sleep. That didn’t work. I listened to a Bloc Party song on here (thanks, Braden) and was then in the mood to listen to more Bloc Party, figure stuff, and...
I cannot stop clothes shopping online.
Some of these sales are too good. In two weeks time, I’ll be like: so I can’t afford London after all, but I have a really cool new wardrobe. And I’ll look like this.
Yep, well done.

then-it-is-time replied to your photo: Ambitious? Blackburn to beat Fulham?
Ambitious, Steve ;) No, actually Fulham have been pretty bad lately, apart from the draw against Chelsea. Especially in FL. Actually, after looking, they haven’t scored more than one goal in a game in 6 games. Steve Kean likes 2012.

Some nights you just have to leave InDesign alone, whack a really bad powerpop radio on Last.fm, grab a beer from the fridge, and make a new Tumblr.
I don’t need another Tumblr; I have, like, six that I can’t keep updated at the moment. Oh well. Beer is nice.
Yes. Bacon and brown sauce sandwiches, Carte Noir coffee (the best), and it’s a bloody beautiful day.
It’s also my Grandma’s 90th birthday, so we’re having her over later for a huge afternoon lunch. I’m yet to find out what I’ve got to make/cook…

Such a long phone call with Matthew last night, talking about things we have and things we need for the new place. It is seriously going to be such a fucking cool apartment. With a 51’ 3D TV, two 360s and a blu-ray, 5,232,389,467 DVDs (possibly exaggerated), two Sky+ HD boxes and full Sky multiroom subscription to all packages and ESPN; SEGA Mega Drive, Master System, Dreamcast, Nintendo...
How many times is too many when reheating one cup of mulled wine in the microwave?
I have ONE CUP left and I keep heating it up, meaning to drink it, then getting distracted by one thing or another.
One more time, then I’ll drink it.

Today will consist of going on a train with my sister and her little boy, simply because he loves trains and hasn’t been on one properly before.
I love days like today.

Currently drinking very cheap white wine mixed with Copella Suffolk Apple Juice - out of my new wine glass chalice from Matt. Instead of amending and redesigning my CV or searching for London-based jobs, I’m cutting magic logs on RS, downloading a whole host of OSTs, and designing/notating in Illustrator. I’m OK with this.

Sorting all the things that aren’t anything to do with what I actually have to do. I will be ready; it won’t be a huge rush or a high dive into any deep end. Twenty-five days until I can begin to work where and how I want to, give or take some hours of the day. Oh and yeah.

Mum just bought me two bottles of wine to take to London for tomorrow night.
As I’m (probably) not drinking wine tomorrow, I’m going to be sensible and drink them now. Well, I’ll start with one glass.

Milton Glaser - “Where am I going with design?”
Jed, you need to follow Americastoppushing. He is a student of Glasers in New York. He blogs about him often, really nice guy too.
Thanks mate, I will indeed.

Yeah, Happy Christmas and all, but…
WHAT EVEN WAS THAT MERLIN FINALE?
It was like YES, YES, OH, G’WARN, YES, NO NO NO NO :|
Morgana so should have been rescued by Mordred at the end and them two become evil in S5 - not little baby (or cheap teenage) Aithusa.
