So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Started Sunday lazily. the plan was for thewife and I to make our way to the Covent Garden Odeon, via Covent Garden Market, have something to eat and drink and then watch Good Bye Lenin. After visiting the overpriced but oddly quaint and original stalls at Covent Garden, we got lost slightly didn't we. Walked the wrong way along Charing Cross Road. Adjusted bearings and then found roughly where we were aiming for. Then turned left rather than right into Shaftesbury Avenue. Soon realised that this was wrong, so I wanted to walk a little bit further, thewife demanded we stop and ask someone. Like I would do that, for god's sake I'm a guy we don't ask, we plod on hopeful that we'll eventually get where we want to be. Besides I suggest that everyone around is a tourist so they won't know either. She goes into a shop and emerges moments later pointing in the opposite direction to the one we were travelling in. This delay put a serious dent in my plan for a pint and something to eat, so we settled for a quick pizza instead.Goodbye Lenin? Go see it as soon as you can. It's a while since I've seen such a tragicomedy this good or this funny. thewife agreed, despite the subtitles.
