Curse the Flooding

The flooding of last week has meant that the Roehampton University library has been out of order. I can't print up any t-shirts, I can't go on the internet late at night. This means that the time that I most what to surf in must be spent doing something pointless instead, like sleeping. So I have been going to bed around 3AM quite regularly. It's awful.

So it's been another three or four days. That's not as bad as Ryan's blog, which I have been waiting for for months now. Well, almost months, but it feels like it. So anyway, the days have been spent being productive: The room that we were destroying, well, we destroyed it. And now we have rebuilt it. And it's amazing. Ok, we haven't quite finished yet, but it still looks stunning. My abnormal television is now in an alcove, and is out of the way. Half the room is pretty much devoted to the home cinema setup, with just the rear speakers needing wall mounting. Two sofas form go together, L-shaped, in another alcove, forming what Emma and I have dubbed the Love-Shack. My IB Art painting sits above it, between where the rear speakers will be, and I have to say that I am happy it has found a good home, with the wonderful magnolia just complementing it.

The other half of the room has the smaller TV in it, and a dining table, as well as my massive arm chair. We finished most of it yesterday, so I'm happy that it's over. Just a little sanding and one more coat of paint on one wall. That's been the focus of everyone while Kaori and Katou have been in Paris. They should return today.

That's about everything. Carlos flies in tomorrow and I'll go pick him up. When term starts again I'm sure we'll have a housewarming party or something cool to be getting along with. Dan's come around today, and we're both very hungry, so we'd better find something delicious or interesting enough to take our minds off it. He's made a whole desktop out of Shortcuts to the Recycling Bin, and I don't know if that qualifies.

Anyway, I've wasted enough of your time.
