Mar. 19th, 2008 09:19 amWell I made it safe to London and am currently sitting in the Flat of Awesome, which is indeed the Flat of Awesome. It really makes me want to move out. *wistful* I could totally find a flat like this in Cardiff.
However, the flist threw up two things of interest despite my absence ;) today, firstly this interview with Terry Pratchett which is lovely but has totally freaked me out with that note about fillings, considering that my mouth has more fillings than teeth now. I really need to get a job so I can invest in none-brain-destroying dentistry. o_O
And the other was this charming interview from Anton Nosik, a higher-up at SUP. Which really sums up the attitude I've been feeling from LJ lately and when my paid account expires for the final time in a few days, I will be shifting base operations over to IJ. I'm not deleting anything; I'll be around here and posting odd things and comments and such, but all LJ's done in the last year is piss me off, whereas all IJ and Squeaky have done is impress me. I should really stop faffing and do something about it. I feel like LJ is pointing and laughing at us now, and damned if I'll stick around to support any service that treats paying customers like that, more than I have to. More people are migrating to IJ it seems now and if LJ carries on the way it is, I'm sure there'll be even more. I'd rather get comfortable over there now because I want to, before LJ does something that means I really have to.
In the meantime I am in London and
kindoftrouble has left me keys and pointed toward the museums and Harrods, so I should be going. Things to see, expensive shops to visit, money to spend - but not too much, since we're not hitting Forbidden Planet until the weekend. ^_^ I might need to take out a loan.

Date: 2008-03-19 11:16 pm (UTC)It's closed membership, so you may only be able to watch it (that should work, because it worked for me. If not I may have to rethink.) Though I have the rest of the PCtI series and some others to repost when I get home, so you may want to wait until after that or you'll have a splurge of old fic. :)
