Back to the Old Routine

So, a fresh start, and the same old random crap on the Tube system.

A queue for Oyster updates was headed by a couple who wanted to go to some road or other. Not a tube station, a ROAD. They had the address, and a vague postcode. This meant the guy in the ticket office felt obliged to look it up in his A to Z and advise on the nearest Tube Station. Then explain in exquisite detail how to get there, where to change lines, which platform to stand on etc. etc. After all this, however, I did manage to top up my Oyster with £12 of refund vouchers (a small victory) and jump on the departing Southbound train via Charing X (another small victory).

No music today - a chance, instead, to catch up with some Podcasts. I listened to Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's review of last year's films, which was entertaining.

Over christmas I saw 'Happy Feet' with the family. Far too long, and a really stupid ending. And surely someone should realise by now that the maximum Robin Williams threshold is about 20 minutes.

On the walk from the Tube to work, I listened to the excellent 'Wonderful World' EP by Nine Horses - a couple of tracks from the album but two new ones (OK, one is a remix). There's another EP out soon, with a great Stina Nordenstam track on, which I must buy.
