I haven't updated the time zone setting in Blogger, which is currently set on CET, so no, it's not the middle of the afternoon as I write this; rather, it's eight-bloody-thirty in the AM. I'm trying to get the most out of my days here, which means defying my natural instinct to stay in bed until eleven.

The weather here has been quite lovely, some rain, but mostly sunshine with an autumnal nip in the air. Perfect walking-around weather - which is what I did yesterday, and will continue to do today, though with time on my hands and to myself, I'll most likely spend a few hours in a darkened theatre at some point, watching either Sky Captain or Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

I've had technical problems with my moblog this past week, so even though I've taken a bunch of shots with my mobile, I haven't been able to post them - sorry. I cleverly changed my carrier on Friday, the same day I was leaving for New York, which has botched up my MMS and net services. I'll try and fix it while I'm here, but the moblog might have to lie dormant until next week.

Right: coffee time. I'll be back with more tonight, including (probably) some sort of movie review.  ¶ 14:15
