IT's FREEEEEE

I just checked my email and I had three new messages from my Camden 'freecycle' group.
It's great. People post things they have and don't want anymore and if someone wants it they take it. FOR FREE! Pick-up generally required. It's a bit of a tease though because someone is giving away a washing machine (something I want, badly), but I don't imagine I could get it on the tube, or into our apartment. And I don't fancy sleeping on the washing machine (no room for any major appliances).
I should say, however, that our apartment has become incredibly fanciable in the last few weeks. We traded our artistic bedside table (a cardboard box i decorated) for a (shock) bedside table. For some reason it's made a huge difference.

I also should plug (again) BBC radio - the Phil Jupitus show is always wicked- and you can stream it ANYTIME YOU WANT... For Freeee.

I'm working again-yay- and it should turn into a full-time job. I'll likely go to the hell designed for self-righteous environmental feminists who end up working for the ad industry just for the money, but it means I can afford to do a Master's in Sustainable Architecture and Alternative technology (i got accepted- yay), so I think they may cancel each other out.

the UK is on a high terrorist alert. This is as useful as the windchill factor. No one really knows what it means and you still have to go outside.

I always thought Herman would be an entertaining profile for NOW's My Style column because of his love of free things. It would read a little like this:

"I found my hat in the garbage - it was FREEEEEE! My neighbour left these shoes on his driveway - they were FREEEEEE! These pants were given to someone at work but they were too small for them so I got them - for FREEEEE!"

You were accepted for your Masters program. ooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo Congrats!

Wayne doesn't let me take garbage home and call it decor. A couple months back I saw these cool old suitcases (a little worse for wear, but still cool) sitting with the garbage around the corner from our place. I phoned him to get him to pick them up before the garbage truck came around, but he was having none of it.

The last paragraph of that post is a delight to read. Good work.

Perhaps Wayne could learn a little something from Herman's cheap yet remarkably stylish ways.

Thank you Patrica and Jowita for your good wishes and Jeromy for his kind comments and thanks to you all for not making fun of me for going back to school...again!
