  bike around the internet as much as i do, and you don't forget tattoos like that.

  didn't think it was worthy of a brand new thread, but olympic tickets go on sale next week. might be worth hoarding cheap seats for an event or two- you have a year and a half to figure out logistics.

  large chicken burrito. it was really impressive and so filling i was a bit dizzy in the sun a half hour after. I think they're going to be a quayside market fixture, it wasn't a special occasion or anything. New and improved mexican sunday!

  Hey Leigh! i was in the same position last january, and moved to ncl for a year- you're going to love it.
  If you need an american-lady opinion, or help sorting out decent places to live/areas to look, i'm happy to help (by satellite, not in ncl anymore, sadly).

  housing-wise, one thing i wish i knew earlier in the game is that heaton is actually a pretty comfy/residential area to live at a fraction of prices right Inside the city, and its a really easy/flat/straight ride into town. closer to a huge/cheaper grocery store, near parks, ouseburn, two bike shops, etc..

  i chickened out on the research, and moved straight to the centre of town for safety/naievetes sake (which was an awesome apartment), but my heart is still in byker/heaton.

  also, the kids are dangerous. lived in west philly for 3 years and never ran into quite so many bold, feral, truant kids as i did in the byker metro station.
