Come on back to the war

You know those bits in films where the story skips forward and there's an establishing shot showing something that indicates what time we're in now? Newspaper headlines. A pop song. Colour schemes. Jeans suddenly baggy or skinny, hair suddenly fouffy or 'fro. I had a moment like that this summer on the tube at West Ham. In front of me there was a row of people reading newspapers with the Olympics all over them, and some dubstep went 'wommmmm' on my headphones just as we passed a row of wind turbines. Look, it's 2012!

I am posting to LJ from underground, on my commute, with my tiny pocket computer. This morning feels a bit like that. I am wearing glasses. My jeans are indeed skinny. I am listening to an old ultraruby mix (British Summertime). My hair is the same as it ever was. Hello world! It's been a weird couple of years. How were yours?

Our year? Exiled from Leytonstone in June by rapacious landlords, ewtikins and I will shortly be returning to the bosom of the Enleytonment.

Or the lower lumbar spine of it, nearer to Leytonstone High Road than to Leytonstone Tube.

I gather that you are somewhere in E11 too?

Close - near Leyton tube. Pint in the Red Lion some time?

Good idea!
