Too busy to blog, so here's an excerpt from an email describing our new flat: very 80s decor, pink bathroom, a carpet with a storied past, but good sized rooms, a dishwasher, and closer to the tube.

Found a flat with A on Albert Square -- cheap for zone 2 and near the tube. Downside: a 12-day gap between moving out and moving in means sofa surfing. Friends with spare space, speak up.

Moved into my fabulous new house. Huge living room, a media room, trees outside, 10 minutes from Oxford Circus. I love it. No ADSL until Wednesday so blogging will be quiet -- read PlasticBag instead.

After way too much stress, I've found a place in Tooting Bec: a big ground-floor room in a quiet cul-de-sac, shared with friendly guys my age. Moving in this weekend. Edinburgh next week. Anyone able to put me up for a few days?

Joined Friendster and finally discovered MoveFlat.com for London flatshares. Loot has been useless lately because everyone migrated there. Still searching for both a flat and cute single gay men.

Finding a flatshare and finding a boyfriend are basically the same problem. I keep second-guessing myself, holding out for better options until the good ones disappear. The best ones never even make it to market. If I can solve one, maybe I can solve the other.

Back after two weeks offline due to a broken PHP script, ironically timed with my new PHP job. Now I'm flat-hunting in a sweltering London, sweating through viewings of overpriced, cramped flats. I want Zone 2, near a tube, with a living room and minimal murder. Apparently £500 won't cut it.
