Moving on up - beer and loathing in the square mile

Well its March which means one thing... Time to move flats again. That and basketball basketball basketball.

First things first. This weekend means that I have been in the UK for 6 months and I have 12 left on this contract. Feels a bit crazy. Also realised that at the end of this month will be 6 months in this flat, the longest I have spent in any one place since I left Greensboro. So the new place... Thanks to Jon, the gingner psuedocanadian flatmate - he found it, we will be moving from the semiposh suburb to the City. Yup - City boys now. It will be about a 15 minute walk to the office - not that I go there much. Its new, hardwoods, good views and a balcony (on the 6th floor). Should be cool. unfortunately Frenchie is leaving us for France and we are getting a new flatmate (friend of Jons....).

I got to see UNC lose today... Sad, only the second game I got to see this year and it had to be this loss. Oh well, with Lawson it was going to be hard. But at least we already have a NCAA berth.

On another note, I spent last week in Glasgow, again. The good news is that I should be working in / around London the neek few weeks. And once my schedule for the next month is solidified, I get to plan my next VACATION!!

I did have visitor this weekend too. A friend and his friends from UNC was starting a backpacking tour of Europe for a few months and started in London. Its always good to see a familar face and to catch up.

Last note - the second part of the title is from a book called CityBoys, about investment banking and the party life style in the City (i.e. Square Mile). Its good book, easy to read, funny and disturbing.
