Relocation Relocation
Once again I have moved. Still in the same dormitory but in a different room. The views are decidedly better:
A little hint of OXO Tower is better than nothing.
The only thing more depressing than the fact that I have now moved FIVE times in two years is the rest of my view from this room.
Yes, that is where I work. I now spend nearly every waking moment either in that building or looking at it. I suppose I could shut the curtains but I am keen on getting as much light as I can so they stay open. The building glares down at me, reminding me of a PhD that I already spend at least 12 hours a day contemplating anyway. I have the feeling this is going to wear on my soul.
I'm also ground level on quite a busy street that leads into the roundabout where the IMAX lives. It's incredibly noisy but I prefer it to a dull and quiet (and tree-less) courtyard; at least now I FEEL like I live in a city of 7 or so million. But when a double decker goes by I feel a little too close to the rest of the London public as those on the top are level with my room and look at me in a bemused sort of way.
Not sure if it's exactly onwards and upwards, but it is slightly larger and relatively cheap so I'll complain no more.
P.S. I've finally installed a Google search engine on my blog, so go ahead and knock yourselves out.

That's because I installed it for searching withIN my blog, not FOR it, since you are already here. Would be a little silly to look for an American in London at an American in London.

Ah, that picture reminds me of the few months I spent in that very building... now over a year ago!
Good luck with the new apartment!

I'm not sure that it's a great idea to publish pictures from which people can identify your bedroom window when it's at ground level.
