What's For Dinner?

So I find myself eating kebabs alot nowadays. Kebab shops are so plentiful, they're not too expensive, and if you find a good shop are pretty damn good. I used to change up my kebab choice alot. Doner one day, shish another, kofte the next. Back and forth between chicken and lamb, maybe even a mixed to mix it up. For some reason over the last couple weeks I settled into a lamb shish kick and haven't pulled out of it yet. So tonight, once again, I am having a (tasty) lamb shish kebab with chips (fries for you North Americans).


Funny story: When I went to the kebab joint to pick up dinner last night, as I walked in the door the fella manning the grille said "hey Andy!" I didn't realize it for a second and just replied "hey!" Once it did occur to me what he had called me I had to wonder why. The first (and only) thing that came to mind was that with my paper boy hat and peacoat I reminded him of Andy Cap :).

Wishing I was in Seattle This Coming Weekend

So I got an email from Sam at the Summit. They're having their first BBQ of the year on 4.20.08. Man I love the BBQs at the Summit and I think that it's great that Sam puts them on. Summit Pub: Good beer, good people... and at times FREE GOOD FOOD! What more can anyone ask for :)

If any of you make it to the BBQ tell Sam I said "what up", and eat some food and drink a beer for me :)

Flat Hunting

I wrote a few posts in word while I was in Brussels with the intention of posting them when I got access to an internet connection. Unfortunately I never got around to it and now it just seems wrong to post them....

So I'm still working on finding a flat to let so I can move out of West Hampstead. Got a viewing tonight for a 1 bedroom place in Camden Town. Hopefully this one will go better than the last flat I viewed in Camden Town. The last flat was really small and dirty and they wanted 235 pounds per week. Definitely wasn't worth it.

Weekend after next I'm heading to Amsterdam with a bunch of the people from Infusion. Have my flight and a room booked at a hostel. I need to start planning more trips to places I haven't been yet. So far since I've been here I've spent all my time in London with the one trip to Brussels and now the trip to Amsterdam. I'd been to all these places before... Perhaps I'll head to Paris some time soon. It's only a 2 hour train ride on Eurostar. I am also planning on hanging out in Ireland with my parents in early June, plus perhaps hanging out in Ireland for a bit with Chris and Bonnie. Hopefully as we get closer to summer I'll be travelling more and more.
