I am now unemployed, Excite UK having closed down. A few possibilities for future employment biting but no interviews or anything yet.

Went to see Harry Potter last night, which was fun. Going to see Fellowship of the Ring tonight, which should be even cooler. Then going back home on the train tomorrow- got a 1st-class return ticket to Manchester for £55, which was cool, although my experience of Virgin Trains last time was less than encouraging... let's hope the trains I reserved seats on are actually running.
