I know, I know. Posting the minutiae of my daily life can get a little bit tedious, but this is my blog and I can do whatever the hell I want, OK?

Most know that I’m fairly obsessive about Arsenal football club. If Arsenal lose, that immediately ruins my day. I try and watch as many matches as possible, and while I was living back in Dutton Park with my similarly obsessed house mates, I could regularly feed my addiction through cable tv coupled with the occasional late night trip to the Pig and Whistle to watch the games in the company of other fans.

Of course, one of the first thing I did when I got to New York was to seek out a place to watch football. And in Nevada Smiths, I have found the perfect place. Along with another fellow intern – a Bolton supporter (poor guy! ha!) – I went and watched Arsenal beat Bolton 2-0 at the Reebok at 11am in the morning. A few pints blurred my vision, but it was well worth it. The bar had a great atmosphere with much singing and chanting, much like you’d hear at an Arsenal pub in North London. Though, this is a football pub so many teams were represented – Villa, West Ham, AC Milan. I’d expect I’d be there every weekend from now until I return to Australia.

Anyway, work officially begins tomorrow. I’ve found permanent accommodation. Exciting times.
