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?

Welcome to Space Year 2012.

Things are doing pretty well. Doing science by day and being a geek by night. Still living with Jo in Islington, but my girlfriend lives in Leytonstone so I end up there a couple of times a week.

I am wearing glasses and cycling now, so am probably subject to Hipster Creep (the early Radiohead single that only cool people would have heard of).

Hipster Creep! Oh dear. My glasses are rather thick-rimmed and I love my bike, but I will never forsake it for a fixie because coasting is far too much fun.

Give me a shout if you're in Leytonstone and at a loose end?

Sounds good, we go to the Red Lion semi-regularly anyway. Or is the William IV nearer?
