Dazed and Confused

Um, I don't understand how to set up this Freeview box. I ran out and bought all the connection devices that the package conveniently forgot to say were excluded, came back, put it together, and now all I have is a blue screen.

The shop in Kilburn that had the chair that I planned to buy no longer had it. In fact, the guy had no idea what chair I was talking about.

I missed a special package delivery on Thursday. I don't know who it's from and my parents claim it's not them. I really hope it's from a secret admirer but that wouldn't happen in a million years. Now I have to sit around all day tomorrow waiting for it.

I went to Guanabara last night for Marc A.'s birthday. We had to wait in line for an hour in the cold. There was actually an outside line and then an inside line. It was like Disney World minus the excitement part.

The bar was nice and I would go again, but I'd get there before 8:00 pm so I wouldn't have to wait on that ridiculous line. I loved the set up, and the drinks were delicious (although not very alcoholic.) The Brazilian band was good (as were the guys doing Capoiera) but I had no idea how to dance to that music. I also kissed a conference producer, which I find to be extremely funny since I used to be a meeting planner. That just doesn't happen, mainly because 97% of men in the industry are gay.

Friday night went well and the outfits were nothing to worry about. I got paid more than I originally was told, got free drinks all night and a cab ride home. I also got the back of my skirt lifted up by some guy in the last club. After a few seconds of realizing what had just happened, I decided to grab him by the shirt, yell at him that he'd better not ever fucking do that again, and then after deciding once wasn't enough, I grabbed him a second time saying don't you ever fucking do that again or I'll fucking kill you. Then I got embarrassed and cried, because I can't put on fronts for long and always get upset. I hate when I do that!

These are a few more guesses (in white) from that Virgin photo from the last post: Sex Pistols, Blur, Blind Melon, Scorpion, White Zombie, The Cars

Current Music: Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line

I Felt the Lapping of an Ebbing Tide

British Sea Power are always a guaranteed good time from their silly on-stage antics. Their music kicks ass too!

The first thing I have to say is that they did an early set which was so cool! How often does a band open for themselves?! I got in around 45 minutes after the doors opened though and only caught a little of it.

Then came The Wurzels. These guys were old (when I say old, I mean old - the drummer was 78) from the West Country. I don't really understand what that means except that they drink a lot of cider. They did a really funny/good version of Don't Look Back In Anger, played their famous song about a combine harvester (I only knew the remake that goes "I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, You've got a brand new key") and sang about the 'Shepton Mallet Matador' which was so funny because I actually got lost in Shepton Mallet searching for the Glastonbury ticket pick-up office.

I couldn't believe the front of the crowd for BSP, they were jumping and moshing like crazy. Aside from the occasional elbow in the chest, we were in a decent spot. So, a few of the shenanigans...They shot out wet snow-like stuff onto the audience at one point to give the Antarctic effect. The crazy drummer guy who is in the Brakes had a camcorder duck-taped to his helmet. They didn't do the two-person somersaults this time, but the guitar player tilted his head sideways, poured a bottle of water onto/into his ear, and then projected it out of his mouth onto the audience which was really funny. Oh yeah, the music was good too. Me like dem boys.

The following Virgin band photo thing is fun. I just did it but I'm not sure yet if my answers are right. It works like this: guy smashing the pumpkin = smashing pumpkins, pair of scissors = scissor sisters, etc. Try it if you're bored (enlargement suggested) -

Here are my answers (written in white so as not to give anything away, highlight the text if you want to see them.) My answers so far: Spoon, Gorillaz, Led Zeppelin, Jet, Television, Eagles, Garbage, Rolling Stones, Seal, Postal Service, Beach Boys, Alice in Chains, Eels, Matchbox 20, Guns N Roses, Queen, Prince, Radiohead, Kiss, Embrace, The Birds, Bee Gees, Manic Sreet Preachers, Whitesnake, The Subways, Eminem, Dinosaur Jr., Styx, Phish, Green Day, Madonna, Dead Kennedys, 50 Cent, Twisted Sister, The Streets, The White Stripes, Pixies, Ratt, Black Flag, Blondie, Destiny's Child, Bloc Party, Korn, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ok, as I'm typing this I just found out there are 72, and I only have 44. Eek.

Oh, and this might explain a few things.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I decided I couldn't go without the traditional meal, so with Solo's cooking/flavoring advice, I prepared one consisting of turkey (pre-filleted), mashed potatoes (who knew manual mashing was so easy?), peas, cranberry sauce and ready-to-make gravy that originally looked like rabbit pellets but eventually turned into a smooth brown goop. It was way decent for my first time, and for that I am thankful.

A kindergarten class was asked How Do You Cook A Turkey? These are quite funny, my favorite is Logan's answer: "WE get a turkey from Cub Foods. Put some meat in it. Put some bones in it. Put chicken in it. Then we add some milk. Add some soup! Then we add corndogs. Next, chicken on a patty. Now, cookies! Chocolate chip muffins and now comes a little bit of peanuts. Just, you need a pot and some fire to put it in. And that's it. The end!"

Oh Larson B, oh won't you fall on me?

Current Music: GL Podcast - Alan-Michael reunites with Harley, Dinah and Lizzie

Bye Bye Love

I'm currently downloading the last two weeks' worth of Guiding Light podcasts. I hate catching up even though listening and not looking is completely effortless. I'm getting tired just thinking about all the episodes I have to catch up on.

On a very sad and related note, Danny Santos has left Springfield today. I have been in love with Paul Anthony Stewart's character for the last 7 years (I think his collage/shrine on the entire inside of my closet door in college

--thank you Marni for all those Soap Opera Digests-- could easily have confirmed that.) On GL he used to be married to Bethany Joie Lenz who plays Haley on One Tree Hill; they were my most favorite on-screen couple ever. Danny, I will really miss you, and I'm very sorry that our last encounter will have to be via podcast.

My Future Husband...Come Back Soon?!

So, I totally pulled a DJ today at the gym over my anxiety for Friday's outfit. After my workout, I opened a lovely e-mail that said the skirts for Friday won't be available so we'll have to wear our own which was excellent news. Although I had a look at the shirts and they look like they would be a comfortable fit for a 5 year old. I'm so wearing a black shirt under that; I'm sure the girl I'm doing it with does not just want to wear just the piece of cloth either, and I heard layers should be okay (hopefully.)

Also, thank you NME for including 'The Great Escape' on this week's cd. Now I can play it on repeat all day and postpone buying the full W.A.S. cd since I can't afford it.

And as a final note, tomorrow will be my first ever Thanksgiving away from home. People on my course are celebrating next weekend but I'll be away so I may look for a place that serves up a turkey meal at the last minute tomorrow. If not, I will still be having a delicious helping of British Sea Power with a side of Wurzels at the Forum. Yum!

Skillz 2 Pay Da Billz?

Yippee! I'm working on Friday! As a Jagermeister drink girl in a bar in Hoxton!

This is my first money-making I'm doing since I've been here, and it pays $14 an hour, not too shabby. I'm doing it with a friend from my course and two other girls. Hopefully they'll like me and I'll be able to continue. I'm just nervous about fitting into the top and skirt as I haven't told the guy about my big ass. He told me to dress up like I'm going to a club since we can stay in the second place after our shift anyway, so hopefully he'll let me keep my short black skirt on if there's a problem. I might starve myself until Friday but that's most likely impossible.

Picture Yourself On A Train In A Station

I've had a craving to listen to Sgt. Pepper all night. I just got home and now realized that I somehow forgot to upload the album onto my iTunes. Surely this is a joke? I'm stumped about this, especially considering I didn't even notice it until now. Shaun Richman would be disappointed in my odd, unfanlike Beatle behavior.

Man, I've had the worst luck with transportation this past week. The other day I missed the last train back home from West Hampstead, brainstormed and took the tube to Swiss Cottage (um, random?), then stumbled around and finally found the 46 which I took home. On Thursday, it took the 134 an hour and fifteen minutes to go from Kentish Town to Tottenham Court Road which on average should only take 15 minutes. I was REALLY pissed about that one. On Friday, to my dismay, I stumbled upon a brand new ticket machine at my Silverlink stop, knew I needed one in order to get out at Highbury Islington and couldn't think up a quick excuse for not having one when I exited the train (I didn't have my Oyster Card on me), so I bought the ticket and consequently missed the train by one minute. Yesterday I flagged down the 189 to go from Laura's to Alex's and the driver completely ignored me. That really pissed me off as well. Tonight I got to the station with five minutes to spare, realized I forgot my phone which I needed in order to call Zoë to pick me up from Hatch End, raced home, grabbed it and ran back and caught the train just in time, but coming back I got to the transfer point exactly as the train should have arrived, but of course it was cancelled and I had to wait in sub-zero weather for the next one.

Oh yeah, I bought a plant! Her name is Juliet. She's green and cute. It's my practice for having kids.

Skintight Encounter

I'm typing this entry on my brand new Ikea desk. I put that and my bedside table together in under an hour because I'm just so awesome at putting Ikea furniture together. I would really love to get paid to do that for people.

I finally went to see Alex's new flat today which is sooooooooooo nice and makes me really jealous. They have the cutest courtyard which looks like a movie set, are right in the center by Baker Street and have really nice, modern "adult" furniture. I just want to hang out on their couches forever.

After that I had my first Sunday roast at a local pub. It was muy yummy. And I got the last beef roast so take that biatches.

Oh yeah, and I finished my first NME crossword puzzle! Well, Alex and I did it as a joint effort but I think that still counts.

Last night was Boogaloo for Zo's birthday. It's really close to my apartment by bus which is exciting because I can't wait to do the music quiz there. And I heard that freakin Bernard Butler ran the quiz last week!!!

My favorite part of the night was spotting the Skintight Jaguars (reference here.) I spoke to them for a few minutes and I told them I would go see them play at the Underworld. It's like the Air Guitar Championships are going to haunt me forever, which is funny yet quite scary at the same time.

My jacket was soaked in beer when I went to leave, so I decided to brave the cold and go home just in my tube top (I found out today that it was below freezing last night too.) That reminded me of the time some girl threw up on me in the bathroom of Eclipse and the cardigan she threw up on was all I had to cover myself with. It was snowing outside and my choices were to either wear the throw-up cardigan or die, so I wore it.
G-R-O-S-S.

Current Music: Ian Brown - Keep What Ya Got

Hustle & Flow

Last night I went to see The Flow (or according to the Hope and Anchor's flyer, The Slow.) The singer sounds like Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, I'm not sure if I could equate the music to another band off the top of my head. They are good, you should check them out here.

What is up with Lady Sovereign? I finally just saw her video, she's like the ghetto version of JoJo. I love hoodies but come on now.

So, I'm slightly perturbed since the other day when two of my friends told me that I'm not embarrassed about anything. Do people really think of me like that? Because I don't think it's true. Now I need to find something that embarrasses me ASAP just to prove them wrong, which shouldn't be too hard if I drink a lot tonight.

Going to Boogaloo later for Zoe's birthday. The only things I've heard about this bar are that they have the hardest pub quiz in London, and The Libertines used to go there. I need to get my groove on as The Roxy was alright on Thursday but the crowd was non-existent. They played 'Sparkle' by My Life Story which was really random. I also correctly identified four guys at the bar as being a band because I'm a dork (see first correct band identification in a bar here.) They were called the Layaways, or the Laybetters or something but that's all I know.

Yes! Live GLC on Popworld right now. So bad it's good. Plus there's a Take That interview coming up and I love Mark Owen.

I need something funny to happen to me soon, my entries have been extremely unentertaining lately.

I'll Take You On A Journey Through R'n'B

Oy. I can't get this song out of my head. I know its Goldie Lookin' Chain. And I know its meant to be a joke. But I really like it!

Congratulations to Vicki who just passed the New York State Bar!

Time to beautify myself and hit on cute indie boys.

I'm Free To Do What I Want Any Old Time

I seriously love that song. I just remembered that I heard it out a few weeks ago and was thinking about how the theme currently fits my life at this moment, being that I finally finished my paper. I didn't want to put an actual reference to the paper in the subject line because I don't want to be reminded of it every time I sign onto Blogger. Anyway I really really love that song, and I can't believe I don't have the mp3 of it.

The last few days have been rather uneventful. Just been finishing off this stupid paper, now I'm giving myself a few days' break before I start on the next paper/presentation. I hate doing schoolwork like this, I would kill someone to take a test right now instead.

I'm looking forward to an after-class beer at the school pub tomorrow with peeps to celebrate, then I'm out for Sunil's birthday at The Roxy. If I could sleep there I would, I'm so in love with that place. And I REALLY love it when they play 'I'm Free' by The Soup Dragons. One can only pray?

Acrophobia

Oh yes. I've remembered it. And now I've found it.

For all my friends from sophomore year in Bingham, may I present you with the Acrophobia website!

For those who don't know the game, I'll explain it in a minute. For those who do, do you remember how addicting this was? I played it for like three hours straight yesterday laughing out loud by myself.

Basically, Acrophobia (although it means fear of heights, in this case it's just the title of the game) is an interactive game on the web in which different players go into themed chat-like rooms, are given a subject and an acronym ranging from three to seven letters, and have to make a phrase out of them within a certain amount of time. For example, one (not so good one) I did yesterday was under the category Sweet Things - SCI and I submitted Splenda - Crappy Imposter. Each entrant votes on the best phrase and you are awarded points based on that and other things like speed. This goes on for several rounds and at the end there is a face-off between the top two players.

The only difference between playing it then and now was that in the dorms we had every dirty word imaginable scribbled on papers and ready to go for all acronyms that came our way. I can't be that dirty by myself cause its no fun so I stayed in a normal room yesterday, but it's still sooo addicting. I can't wait to play this with my English friends!

Things I Saw On The Bus This Weekend

-Drunk girl fall flat on her back
-Guy passed out with his head falling into my lap
-Cute dog sleeping on the floor
-Police investigation at my bus stop
-Not the "Stop" button as I forgot to hit it and missed my road
-Brazilian guy attempting to get off the bus to "walk me home"

Another unproductive weekend has passed once again. I did make it to the British Library on Friday, but I stalled around so much outside drinking coffee that it closed half an hour after I got there. Whoops!

Went out on Friday night to cheese central, otherwise known as Loop. I think all the slimeballs/predators/bankers in there descended from Planet Horny. I haven't been dancefloor gangbanged like that since the last Molloy dance I went to in 1996.

I made it down to New Bond Street yesterday which is like the Rodeo Drive of London, AKA I could never afford to buy anything there. I walked up New Molton Street which was super cute, then did some strolling through jam-packed Oxford Circus. I bought a pair of jeans on sale at The Gap but they are super low so I may have to bring them back unless I plan on showing everyone the goods.

Alex reserved an area at Match bar last night which was £££. I busted out the tarty red pants for the first time since I've been here which gave me a nice comfort.

After that some of us headed to the Borderline. My proudest moment of the night was guessing the current song as by Shed Seven after much contemplation, getting it right and impressing the guy next to me. Sad things like that make me give myself pats on the back.

I also realized on my drunken walk home how beautiful the Aqualung cd is. It is absolutely gorgeous when you're shitfaced.

Going to Golder's Green tonight for some Jewish food and I can't wait. I haven't had deli-type stuff in months and I'm so craving it. Then maybe off to the pub after that.

I just sent Zoe on a mission to buy me some stuff while she's in NY. Sadly the only things I can think of are a Burt's Bees lip gloss and cds. I've requested: new Franz w/DVD, We Are Scientists, Help: A Day in the Life and The Redwalls. I'm having a brain fart on what else I wanted to buy. I want a ton of singles but I don't think Best Buy carries them so that's out.

I Believe In A Thing Called RANDOM

Last night my friend John met Frankie Poullain, ousted bassist of The Darkness, after Laura and I left the bar to go home. Not sure if he met him in the bar we were at or at another place in Camden Town, but talk about crappy timing. I think The Darkness are wankers, but that's still cool.

Back in the beginning of October I posted about the UK Air Guitar Championships. Dave 'Wildman' Pickles of Satan's Underpants e-mailed me in regards to my post after doing a web search. How cool is that?! They are so my favorite air guitar band forever and ever.

Anyway he suggested I check out Feeling Gloomy, a club night at the Bar Academy in Islington run by his friends that's dedicated to sad music (wouldn't dancing to sad music make everyone collectively happy?) I definitely plan on checking this out soon, hanging out with lots of mopers sounds like it could be an interesting time.

Train In Vain

Why is it that I keep attracting guys on the Silverlink platforms?! Here's the beginning of tonight's dialogue at Hatch End from across the platform while I stood under the awning out of the rain.

Guy: How are you?
Me: Wet.
Guy: Don't say things like that to me.

The conversation continued for five minutes, the guy was planning on going to the store down the road and come back in 15 minutes for his train but decided to talk to me instead. I guess I asked for it this time though.

Debbie Downer

I just found one of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits on the web (along with some other funny recent ones.) I know some people don't like it when the actors laugh uncontrollably (especially when Jimmy Fallon does it even though I love it), but this one is really contagious - SNL - Debbie Downer.

Una Buona Fine Settimana

Michaela came from Spresiano to visit me this weekend. It was a short trip, but I haven't seen her in two years so it was really fun.

Micky's flight was delayed on Friday so I figured I would make the most out of the night and go out before she arrived. I started a bit later than I'd hoped (6:30 pm, not 5:00 pm as stated in a previous post), met John from school at Liberties and downed some green olives. We then proceeded to his penthouse flat, I had some much needed Absolut Citron and Red Bull and attempted to defend John and Haley's roommate from their constant mental harassment. I feel bad for roommate #3 but he needs to learn to attack the other two verbally rather than hitting them in the ankle with darts. I will be sure to continue helping him with his retaliation tactics.

Before leaving the flat I updated their wipe board calendar by adding "Be Gay" all over it which was fun. After that I headed to The Good Mixer with Laura. The Citron smacked me hard from before so I don't remember much of the bar except for liking some guy's smooth head. I left to pick Micky up at Liverpool Street and I have no idea what happened to Laura, smoothhead and his friends.

Upon arrival back at my flat, Micky presented me with a huge block of fresh cheese and salami. I definitely ate at least 1/4 of the meat; you can argue all you want but fresh Italian salamis are definitely the most satisfying.

We got an early start on Saturday down at Camden Market. Most of the day was dedicated to shopping since we've both sightseen here already (together) and she lives in a small town and doesn't have our everyday shopping exposure (H&M, Topshop, etc.)

On Saturday afternoon I had my first meal in London's Chinatown. It was better than any Chinese food I've had here so far but still pales in comparison to any dump take-out in NY. I was hesitant so I went with the beef in oyster sauce which is almost always a safe bet.

After regeneration back at the flat, we got ready to meet Liz to watch a fireworks display in Kensal Green. Good thing she called me just as we were about to get on the Silverlink asking me if I was coming to meet her at BETHNAL Green.

That option was now obviously out so we stopped at John's to check out the fireworks from his balcony. After that we headed down to The Roxy for Dan M.'s leaving thing but we got there and the bar wasn't open yet. Micky & I went to a random pub to kill time and drink snakebites because we were too sober for The Roxy anyway. I don't remember the name of the pub, but it was on Dean Street one block off of Oxford. I either have an excellent memory or had a weird case of deja vu as I think that was most definitely the pub I went to with Welsh Dave 5 years ago. Does anyone know where the cover of the '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' cd was shot? I'm asking this because the pub I went to with Dave was right near where that photo was taken and I'd like to know if it was the same place.

After our drinks we went back to the very packed Roxy (my first time on a Saturday, music not as good as Thursday) but Sunil, Lewis and Shane decided to go there too so we ended up dancing for the most of the night which was fun. I thought Michaela was going to pass out against the glass window a couple of times (minus the random spurts of Green Day that woke her up) but she says she had a good time.

My favorite part of the night was getting off the N20 at Camden Town to get chips and then being able to get back on the same bus two minutes later to continue on to Kentish Town. That was the best bus timing I've had yet!

This morning we headed back down to Camden Market so Micky could get a last minute gift and then went down to Trafalgar Square. We walked to Embankment to take some pictures of the Eye/I(?), St. Paul's, the giant Faberge Egg, etc. We went to Covent Garden next (which is much smaller than I remember), then bused it back over to Oxford Circus so she could shop at Urban Outfitters before leaving.

I dropped her off at Liverpool Street this afternoon, came home, had some cheese, salami and tomatoes with olive oil for dinner, then watched two episodes of Lost (which is now growing on me.)

The Harry Potter premier took place in Leicester Square today. This means that Ron Weasley is within a 20 minute vicinity of me right now. I'm sweating just thinking about it. If I remember correctly, Orange Wednesdays are 2 for 1? Please let me know if you want to see Goblet of Fire with me this week!

I've (finally) just seen the first episode of Lost and I'm not at all convinced by it so far. I have to say that this is definitely a disappointing let down. Please tell me this show gets better?

I think maybe I'm just bitter that Zoe's got the two latest Prison Breaks on DVD and I don't. Sorry to take it out on you Lost.
