no need to travel all the way to amsterdam, boys and girls... i've got what you're looking for right here in london!

i've been in london two weeks and i now have a job and a place to live. the job was a bit of a saga, but let's not go there. suffice to say that i have a lovely secretary job in town, licking the bootheels of yet another senior executive.

my room is fabulous though, and i am so excited to have my own space. there was no lightglobe in my room when i got here, so i went down the street to get one (along with some essential food items- god, i am in love the off-license!! they are all so cute and friendly. and did i mention convenient?! so convenient!) I picked one that said "firestorm" on the packet, not really thinking anything of it. but now, as i type this under the red glare, i wonder if i perhaps should have paid more attention to that "firestorm" at the time of purchase. but nah... the benefits outweigh the cons. after all- now i have my very own red light district!
