It Exists! May 22, 2008

Now, I do realize that this is my third mention of Harry Potter in the last week in a half, but look! It really does exist! There’s even half a cart coming out of the wall! This little area is sort of hidden in between Platforms 8 and 9 in Kings Cross Station. I had to look for it, and no-one seemed to be looking at it or taking pictures. Whoever thought this up, and whoever approved its implementation, are my new heroes.

Oh yeah, and I started my new job at the Natural History Museum. Well, I wasn’t actually doing anything today, but I was introduced to who I will be working with and given a tour of where I’ll be housed. I got a behind the scenes look at the rare book room (which is super cool and has all kinds of art work in it), which is closed off to the public. I’ll be working on an exhibit with material from the room throughout the summer. As well, I got to look through all the secret libraries that are closed to the public. They look like libraries from the 20’s, with two floors and twirly stairs. So cool.

And on the way home I stopped by Piccadilly Circus, but I only stayed for 5 minutes. There’s not much to see there except the lights and the angel. I really wanted to do the Lenny Henry/Genie dance in front of the lights, but I thought people would look at me funny (only Waterstons and a singular Horak will get that).
