To celebrate the start of a glorious new week – and feel like I’ve achieved something – I finished up something new for the joy of damage.
In other news I got my de facto national identification number today. Pain in the arse doing anything without it (like getting a decent phone).
Security is weird here. You can commit credit card fraud all day and no one will notice. On the other hand, people are constantly on guard against identity theft. Address labels must be stripped from rubbish garbage. Delivery notes from the Royal Mail US Postal Service (USPS) don’t mention your name.
Talking of garbage, NYC is a super-progressive recycling city – It’s The Law. After the marathon Ikea session I spent a solid forty-five minutes jumping on cardboard boxes and tying them into anally tight bundles with twine.
I’m not sure that sounds right.
At least I now have a kettle, so could recover in quintessentially British fashion by consuming pints of tea.

Er, are those American pints, or Imperial pints…?
Just wondered…
