So Creepy...

So I just randomly started watching the movie 28 Days Later, which is a bad idea since I cant deal with scary movies...but the whole opening scenes are a guy walking around a completely deserted London. Totally trippy.



Post Script: Totally woke up at 4:30 in the morning and had a really hard time going back to sleep because I kept picturing Rage Virus infected people crashing through my window.

Holy shit, I am in love....

...with my new neighborhood. How dorky am I....I just bought a hoodie that says "PORTOBELLO" on the front. I am officially a West London hipster snob now. HA!

If you come visit me here, make sure you catch a Saturday so we can go down to the market and sip coffee as we people watch.



Good times!

I am Legally Single

Today I got to work and logged on to my email and had this to read:

"So we are divorced..."

Wow...what a way to start the day, eh? I remember actually gasping as I read the words.

I can now call myself a divorcee. That word conjures some kind of Jackie Collins novel image of an older woman on the hunt, and yet it also describes the reality of who I am. Weird.

My divorce took a long time, and the final resolution almost seems like an anti-climax. Especially with me in London and him in California. We have almost switched lives and countries. Funny how life works.

So tonight I need to celebrate/mourn...right?

What about my job?

So I did kind of throw it out there a while back, but never elaborated...

I am indeed a working stiff again. I am doing a 3 month contract at a fun little interactive agency called Grand Union. The people here are really nice, and so far the project work has been varied and interesting, with the usual frantic moments from time to time.

I am even getting to do some stuff that I have never done in my career before. Like the other day I had to spend half a day at a photography studio, while we shot for a sexual health online campaign. This was a project I got thrown into on my first day, and which found me attempting to cast FHM type models for a week or so. All the men in the office kept stopping by my desk to see the model cards.

The creative director and I had an easy fun day at the shoot, and managed to get a canalside drink during a break, and even took some funny pics:

Did I mention I am now addicted to tea?



I work hard for my salary


This is what happens to creative directors who don't listen to their project managers!


So things are good on that front. Monday I get to attend an all day video shoot that involves 15 acrobats doing crazy pileups and pyramids. Banner ads...yeah. Oh yeah, I also do full on web development project too, but thats old news.
