Me vs. Rupert Murdoch

I am getting settled into my new home sans my husband and I don't like it one. single. bit. I miss my cuddles on the couch and I miss a couch because I am sitting/sleeping on a futon in the living room until Ikea decides to deliver my actual couch/bed. Eek.

The cable guy is due to come any minute now to set up my cable but I'll have to wait another 7-10 days for my Internet!! Oh Internet where Arte thou? My little dongle just isn't cutting it and I'm actually too busy shooting at work that there isn't anytime for looking at blogs.

A quick note: evidently I live in a technological black hole because no one does Internet where I live except, gulp, Sky. If you don't know, Sky is owned by Rupert Murdoch and every inch of me wants to boycott Sky and everything else that's part of his empire, but then if I did I wouldn't have Internet. Oh boy is there a battle in my head. For now I've caved and my need for TV and Internet has own out. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I leave you with a photo from my recent trip to Florida. Yes that's me! and Yep that's an alligator! I'm so brave (note: There was tape around the gator's mouth that magically disappeared in the editing process to make me seem cooler than I am.)

Whinging...

I have been doing a lot of housekeeping this week. Our flat was wrecked after the holidays and we finally got the Christmas tree out yesterday (I had to wait for recycling day). I have also been catching up on a lot of work I put off during the holidays. I've processed sooo many photos this week and I had a shoot with a 15 year-old girl (photo above). I have been a good-girl by sticking to my resolution to dun dun dun... exercise. Blah I hate it but I do feel better (when I'm not having back spasms).

Not much else is going on. I've been feeling quite blah this week. I am so sick of this flat but we have no money to move. Mold is taking over the bathroom; after almost being crushed to death but our top cabinet coming off the wall a few months ago, our drawer for our pots and pans completely came off. Its a nice flat in an 1700's tenement building with minimal character but I'm not used to staying in one place for this long.

And to top if off I've been looking at a lot of lovely blogs and been really jealous of some of the apt/flat/house/condos that I've seen. I wish I could live in an unfurnished flat with character!
