so i am officially sad.
not in the literal sense of course, :-) had a nice party last night, people are crazy im taking out the bottles today and I counted them as I pushed them into the recycling doobie and shit was 23 bottles of wine. and tom took out a fair amount last night too. and 5 bottles of spirits and about 40 cans/bottles of beer. so what the hell? unless people somehow dropped off empty bottles i have no idea how we accumulated so much of that shit there couldnt have been more than like 50 people here.
so the last of 'em left at 4 which translated into a 2pm rising which means 3 hours of sunlight was experienced by me today-- those days can never be good. but i managed to fit it a £30 tesco run including such highlights as 2kg clementines, 800g of beef, and a litre of channel island milk (aka heavy cream) which tastes amazing.
friday was half term aka didnt have to wake up at 7.30 to tutor at my nice bermondsey secondary school of charming young ladies who like to call me gringo and ask me where i'm from. instead i got to finish off this wonderful application to a fellowship with the state department and paid the same amount of money to send 2 pieces of paper (the recs) to new jersey as cost me for a week's worth of groceries (shit is wack).
there must be something exciting to talk about.. oo! got a 73 on an essay this week which was very exciting!! 70+ is a "1st Class Honours" for those not familiar with the looney english university system, and about 3% of foolios get dat shit. the coolest part was the essay was on UN reform and it was 1945 words!!! i am the man.
ugh so its 2am and i have nothing to show for myself today. don't you hate it when that happens? it would be perfectly fine if it was say july 9th when theres no need to do anything productive but on february 19? there was the need. and that my friend was an essay on something relating to foreign policy analysis. currently talking to this kid (american of course) on my degree who thinks hes going to be president (obviously at the wrong college) and is working out some internship in the white house which he thinks will get him connections to be the republican nominee in 2034.
so tom refused to clean up this morning cos he "did the setting up" which is true but wtf he stayed up half the night talking alan then struts out not doing a damn thing and the place is in a proper state. broken glass=not my friend.
ah something of remote interest, i'm going to rome after term ends! very exciting, we still have to book accomodation but im thinking we may get a flat cos there will be 7 of us or so. oh i'm also seeing a romanian chick, she's nice but i dunno im totally incapable of demonstrating any affection and i feel bad but i dunno. i cant work out if its me being a total weirdo or if its her being... capitalist. shes from 'public school' (private school) and has this posh british accent and talks about how cool aston martins are and im like can we sing la vie boheme please?
lemon yogurt is really good. you should try it sometime. oo and i made chicken tonight and i had the inventive idea to put onions and lemon juice in it and it was good cos the onions soaked up the lemony flavour and it was actually quite yummy. roasted potatoes with rosemary accompanied. i should be a chef like in spanglish (and cos that woman was HOT).
so bruce will be in europe in 2 weeks but thanks to his waiting a month to tell me when i should book eurostar shit is now twice the price.
oh, and facebook added lse which makes for an interesting observation of british culture.
i really miss you guys. you're growing up without me! what if you become assholes or conservative or something that would be really shitty. oh i have a really scary big black neighbour who tells us we close our door too loudly and threatens to break down our door. and nelson mandela spoke in trafalgar square a couple weeks ago, was very cool. i want to see this play called his dark materials, nat saw it when he came last year and said it was super amazing and the primary reason he came but its sold out but luckily the NT (national theatre) keeps some seats on reserve for those who come to the box office on the day (but u gotta queue for like 2 hours in the morning!!! but i wanna do it anyway). so thats something cool. and im looking into retail space downtown manhattan to launch chandlerblackstone this summer--very exciting. i still need those bikini-clad brand reps girls... much love and i'll see you over my spring break ill be in new york from march 24 to april 23 mark your calendars!!!
