Hey All,
Went out clubbing for the first time in a couple of weenks last night.
By dint of London Underground not having Oyster Card machines that were accepting notes at either Stratford or Angel, I managed to travel from Point A to Point B without having to pay for it (as an experiment I'm seeing if I save money by favouring pre-paid over a weekly travelcard. Verdict so far: I do if I cut down the number of unnecessary journeys).
Anyways, Tube Snafus in my favour coupled with a Free For Members night meant that I spent less than I usually do when I go out.
Which is doubly good because yesterday was the first of the month. That's right: council tax again! My flatmates have given me their share of the cash, so first thing tomorrow I will head down to the Post Office and pay that in.
Other things on the Monday list include writing an application for a position in a comics/collectables store and boning up on classical music (at least enough that I might be able to bluff a shop looking for staff in the classical department). A games tore in Stratford is hiring again, so I think I'll hit them as well; I don't play games so much anymore, but I still ove reading about them as cultural artifacts (I'm trying to avoid using the word 'Texts' because I always found that term, used in that way, dryer than a mouth full of flour).
Anyways, enough from me.
Over and out.
