Well, is it?

For Elisse's birthday I bought her the two Daria movies, Is It Fall Yet? [translate: autumn] and Is It College Yet?. We've been watching through all the Daria episodes (for the second time), but the copy I had of Is It Fall Yet? didn't work. The ending to the whole thing was great.
For anyone who we haven't spoken too - Elisse and I have some news (not of either the marriage or offspring type). All things going well we're moving to Barcelona in August. I think we'd both like to live somewhere with a little more sunshine than London and I really want to live near the beach - even if it isn't surfable.
Elisse has got some teaching lined up for a few months when we get there and my plan is to go back to university. I'd like to take up a Bachelor of Mathematics - with a mind to going on to study pure maths / cryptography. We're still working out the minor details like visas, accomodation and universities - but I'm sure it will all work out.
I finished reading Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle yesterday. It's a fantastic trilogy set around the late 17th century to the early 18th century (yep, that's the baroque era). It was based around a number of characters moving through all of europe and the a fair portion of the rest of the known world. A lot of the first book was set around the great fire of London and the subsequent rebuilding, so I've been looking at some London land-marks in a new light recently.
