I moved into a new apartment today

I moved into a new apartment today. The only furniture I have is inflatable, the only cutlery I have is a plastic fork and chopsticks (thanks to tonight's take-away), I have a fridge magnet but no fridge, and I'm connected to the web via a bluetooth connection to my cell (new number on my contact page) which is dialed up via GPRS. I'm writing this blog sitting on a box containing all my outdated college manuals.

It's been a little over a month since I returned to South Africa, having spent most of that time in Still Bay - only coming through to Cape Town for a week at a time to flat hunt. I hadn't really thought about London until yesterday, excluding the occasional e-mail. If feels so distant, almost as if I put my life here on hold, and coming back I've just continued where I left off. In some ways I have; in the back of my mind I always knew I was only going to spend 2 years in the UK. And then looking around me now, in some ways I haven't. A great start to the new year so far, though.

As some of you that frequent this blog may know, I've spent the past 6 months, on and mostly off, working on a pet project. Having mentioned it once or twice, I've mostly keep it under wraps. It will remain that way for the next 6 months at least. I don't want to hype it up (yet), especially since the idea has evolved so much since I first started that it wouldn't make sense to. I started off calling it a .com startup, which it isn't. And it's changed names countless times, although now the name is finalised and a sexy logo is slowly surfacing. I'm really confident about the direction it's taken and I can't wait to get it launched - until then, I'm doing what I love. Inbetween a few contract jobs, this baby will consume me. An unhealthy variety of late mornings lie ahead.

So I guess it's official then... Alanis Morissette has announced the end of her music career with her cover of Seal's 'Crazy', one of my all-time favourites. If you've heard it, you'll agree.
