Ooooooooh, sweet

The teaser trailer for the new Superman film is out, its clear I dont work in London anymore, cause this has been out for a few days and I only saw it now, well the link that is, its busy downloading on my super fast 56k dial up modem right now.

I really hope Brandon Routh pulls it off, because from the promo pics that have been released I'm not yet a believer.

Not so anymore

I wrote this post while still in London, and then after decindign to return to Cape Town figured it was a pointless post, well its been lying around here, and I've still got people in Lodnon reading this, so here guys, this is my opinion:

The ever beautiful London Winter is here, not yet in full force, but definately here. Its constant, cold, wet, dull and yet so beautiful. Everyone is so morbid and semi-depressed (probably victims of S.A.D.) that anything remotely attractive or different stands out like a punk rocker at a funeral.

The glowing christmas lights down Oxford street, the exhaustively decorated window displays, and best of all, the reflections of all this on the wet roads. Winter in London doesnt have to be as gloomy as everyone makes out to be. As long as youve got a warm body to hold onto and a thick scarf around your neck, you'll be just fine.

As for me? I've got the scarf.

Yeah, but that was then, I'm now in the sunniest of Cities in the world, celebrating one of the hottest Christmas periods around... and I got sunburned today :)

A Short Update

So I’m back in Cape Town, where do I start? Why’d I come back? What am I gonna do with myself? … Who knows, I sure don’t ha ha.

Wait, let’s see, I got tired of London, not tired of life, just London, it felt like London was emptying out and I was still there. The job hunting was crap, and a little too ‘real’ for my liking, id been comfy for a year, maybe a little too comfy, but hey when you’re in a foreign country living on your own, why the hell not? You’re gonna spend half your time at your workplace, so you may as well enjoy being there, so I did (most of the time).

After a while London seems much smaller than what you first believe; only it still takes forever to get from one side to the other.

Its great being home though, haven’t done that much yet, but I figure what’s the rush? I’m gonna be here for a while now. Been to a few house parties, I love those, nothing changes, except for the faces. Went to the local pub last night, ‘for one or two’ no really Steve, it’ll just be one or two, honest. Yeah right, whatever. It never is. We get there and bump into some old school friends, we had one or two, but then we also had a few more after that, it was a good night, but I could have done without the hangover.

The other thing is I cant shake this damn tired feeling, its not jet lag, 2 hours time change cant do that to you. Maybe I need to get to bed earlier :)

I wrote some more stuff in the UK, but its among loads of other papers and junk that I havent sorted, maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

Just a Quicky

Im Home! Back in Cape town, land of the sun and white sandy beaches (which i have still to see). Seen loads of local beer though, they were all really friendly, anyways I've got lots to post, will be appearing soon.

Until then, dont stop reading me.

The Return of the George

I'm not entirely sure if that makes complete sense as I started this blog in London, but since I came from Cape Town, I'm hoping you catch my meaning. Yip, my times up, Im a headin home!

London has been awesome, what more can I say, anyone who's lived here knows what I mean. It can be brutal, but mostly? Its been a blast! One task I did fail on was trying to see every pub in the city, ha ha. Yeah, whatever, just kidding. I find the ones I like and kind of stick with them.

I havent grown tired or bored of London, I just feel that its time to go home, carry on my life where I would be in 9 months anyways, this way I feel like I'm getting a head start.

I'm gonna miss alot of people, alot of places, and alot of stuff about London. (not that there is actually a word like 'alot')

Going back to Cape Town doesnt mean the end of this blog, so please check back every now and then, I'll be writing about life in Cape Town from now on.
