Monday was apparently a bank holiday. Shops shut early, the post office was closed, as were banks. Yet Kingston University still saw fit to schedule lectures. No, I don't get it either.
On the bright side, with the resumption of postal service on Tuesday came a couple of packages and NO (!) bills. Sam K kindly sent me the monthly consignment of ZD magazines from the States (of which I'm only in two this month, sigh), and I finally received my birthday present -- a pair of adidas Climacool sneakers -- two weeks late from Foot Locker. I haven't been able to get shoes in my size for years in Hong Kong, and unfortunately the same is now true of London. There's nothing more frustrating than going into five or six stores and seeing them stock sizes that just so happen to be one size to small.
And now for something completely different... I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it: Pick up the Beatles Anthology DVD set. Great stuff, lots of genuinely funny moments of interplay between the four of them.
Tonight's the big game in Europe, the Champions League semi-final derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan, and I'm going into town early to do a bit of shopping before watching it with a few friends. Should be good fun, and to support my side I've added a new AC Milan wallpaper (and a bunch of Laker wallpapers) to the Phone Downloads section of the site. Check it out if you've got a colour Nokia phone. Hell, try it even if you don't -- I want to know what it looks like on other phones.
