No Catchy Title

So, David and I were walking down Delancey Street in Camden on our way for a roast at The Edinboro Castle yesterday and I happened to notice Eddie Argos from Art Brut across the street going into his flat (looking back, I should have yelled yell out “Art Brut Top of the Pops!”) Now I know where he lives as well as Nick Valensi of The Strokes. I swear I don’t stalk these people on purpose!!

I had a pretty busy last few days. Wednesday night was The Stills at 93 Feet East. We were right in the front so good views and the gig itself was great, one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. They played lots of new songs, most of which were catchy, and I’m still in love with ‘Still in Love Song.’

On Thursday night we went on a free cruise on the Thames sponsored by Chivas Regal. We had three free whiskey drinks, free canapés (not many but a few), and free poker lessons (which we couldn’t get a seat for.) When we got on the boat, all the girls were dressed in evening gowns like they were going to a wedding. I think they were just trying to pick up guys, it’s not an excuse that I looked out of place in jeans and sneakers.

Kat was in town on Friday night so a bunch of people went to The Boardwalk. I actually went there twice because we had to go back and retrieve David’s card from the bar (we weren’t drunk, we just forgot, really.)

Saturday night was Zoë and Rob’s joint birthday party. The theme was “what you wanted to be when you grew up.” Of course I had to take the theme seriously so I dressed up as, you guessed it (or probably not)…an astronomer?! I kind of went more with the general idea though by dressing up in black with glow stars and planets stuck all over me. I also had a construction paper telescope. Some other mentionables were Laura as a policewoman, David as a reporter, Simon as a pilot, and Ben who came in a tuxedo as James Bond. Photos to be posted in the next entry (probs.)

And now for the complaint of the day! Why is it, that when I am working the 7:00 am – 5:00 pm shift, which is the earliest of all 11 offices, do I end up with the 1:40 pm lunch break? I was sitting at the freakin desk for almost 7 hours!!!
