Let me be your implement
Oct. 25th, 2004 11:47 amThe parents really have chosen well. If you sit in the living/dining room, your whole view is sea (unless it's fine in which case you can make out the Isle of Wight). Real British Sea Power country - much as I love that album, I hardly ever listen to it in the city.
Not that the view back in London is without its charms, of course - and this morning the leaves seemed to be migrating rather than simply falling.
Having somewhat lost the taste for prose fiction these last couple of weeks, and with all the novels on my To Read pile being rather too urban, I read Paxman's The English on the train. It was every bit as acute and amusing as I'd hoped. The only downside is that the chances of me finishing Ackroyd's Albion this decade are now even lower.
The parental digital radio means I've finally heard BBC 6 Music, and I love it. It's XFM minus the ads, plus better DJs. Essentially, it's XFM if XFM didn't suck.
Many, many comics to read. Am finally up to speed with Avengers Disassembled, and musing about continuity and hypertime. But that can wait for another post, and an LJcut to protect the non-geeks.
