One of the reasons I’ve been so bad about updating my journal lately is that I’ve started taking jive dancing classes.  It’s a program where I pay 30 quid for five weeks of classes (classes are every week night but at a different venue every day of the week, so even though it’s the same group and instructors, it moves around the city) and can go as many times as I like.  As it’s usually 8 pounds per class this is an excellent deal and now I’m working on getting my money’s worth.  The classes are great for exercise and just getting out from in front of the computer but it means that I get home about 10:30pm not having eaten, exhausted and ready for bed.  Thus, no LJ posting.

Speaking of which, I got teased today at work for having a LiveJournal account.  Henry and Alex (the coCEOs of Spoonfed) met with a guy who happens to be quite high up in the LiveJournal ranks (I’ll leave out his name) and when they came back, it turned out that I was the only person they knew who actually *had* a LiveJournal (guess it’s a lot bigger in the US).  Also, I suppose by this point I’m supposed to be hosting my blogs on my own domain (and by the way, http://www.londonmeg.com isn’t taken so if anyone wants to buy me the domain name I’ll switch over but for now I’m perfectly happy here).  It sounded like they had a good chat this morning.  It’s a very exciting time to be at Spoonfed and I’ve basically made the decision that I’m going to stay here until next summer working with them.  I just need to sign the paper work and make sure they can follow through on their offer to get a visa for me.

Well, it’s my first early night all week and so I’m going to take advantage of it by catching up on my sleep.  I’ll try to get a video up at some point of me at my dance class if I can swing it (get it? swing? at my jive class? I think I’m clearly lacking sleep here… I have to explain my own puns.  sheesh!).  I love the classes and I’m so glad I started going!
