Life as a nomad

Tonight is my LAST night in my flat. Tomorrow we are moving in with our friends, Philip and Anne, a week later, in with Jason and then one more week with Fiona. After that, we're spending a week in Scotland before jetting off.

It's going to be a hectic couple of weeks, so many things planned:

Madonna in Cardiff
Office leaving drinks
Leaving Party
Joan Rivers
Dinner with Gideon and Mark
Vlad's birthday drinks
Tranny Olympics (don't ask)
Dinner at the spectacular Richard H's house (preceded by cocktail @ The Casa)

Actually, when you write it down it doesn't seem so bad. Sounds like fun, albeit shamefully camp.

I am so bored of constant admin at the moment, once we've moved out I'm hoping things will calm down and I'll be able to socialise and relax again. I guess, the constant domestic chores has meant I haven't spent too much money... save save save.

While digging around I came across this interview that Time did with Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in September 2007, before she was elected. It has some interesting quotes in it, and two in particular caught my attention and gave me pause for thought. You can't be a capitalist only when there are investment profits but then a socialist when you experience losses. and We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility!" I'm intrigued by both of these ideas. The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US...
