none of this

upstaging by lina will be tolerated. gonna blog twice in a month, whats that about? ok it will be permitted if only because we need to carry the dead wood of everyone else's lack of having interesting lives to post on the internet (yes thats meant to provoke you non-bloggers out there)

soo right. just got 3 texts from peoples all saying 'why arent you out getting hammered with us?' in case i forgot i was in england.
so half-bro robert came down to london this weekend from rugby (yes the town where the sport was invented) where hes working on a project for a few months so that was really cool to see him. saw some cool african dancing at royal festival hall on saturday and mixed up some oxford street shopping which is always a favourite. i had a birthday party to go to in covent garden so i managed to sort out this play at the old vic theatre with him and his girlfriend (cristina) to go to called national anthems. it was one of those crazy 3 actor plays and kevin spacey's one of em- i should check it out apparently its really good.

really looking forward to being back in new york!!! i can't want to see you lot. i'm also psyched about the rome affair this weekend but i need to get into the proper schools out vibe. also my cold better be done by then. also roman girls are rumoured to be stunning so we'll be taking careful notes and reporting back don't you worry.

extricated myself today from the sticky situation that was this romanian girl i was seeing, which is good because i ended up being a bit of a prick to her since i wasnt really into it and she kept sort of pressing me for time and affection and i was like i think mommy's calling me.

i promise i don't watch desperate housewives. ok that was a lie. shit is kinda crazy!! why did she burn his passport?!? (yes i know we're 38 episodes behind). also have you all heard the new jack johnson album?!? its REALLY good. like hardcore. doves came out with a new album too which is quite good as well but not as impressive as my man JJ. international political theory (IPT) class is funny cause every week now whatever we cover i end up being the ambassador for neo-marxism which is awesome cuz it really does give a far superior description of the international system than this western-obsessed orthodox theory nonce.

lindt chocolates are REALLY good. no joke. how cool is the disney story? you walk in and all your problems go away. really! go sometime if you dont believe me.

whats everyone doing this summer by the way? if you're interested in positions at ChandlerBlackstone LLC drop me a line so we can talk about the opportunities available for comrades. did i mention i had a brief stint as a vegetarian in the supermarket for about 20 minutes when i was deciding if it would be economical? needless to say i concluded the 400% increase in my food budget could not be justified by "eating cows is icky" (my original thesis for being a vegetarian). also, that new iMac shit is so pretty!! the computer IS the monitor!!! but its ok cause material possessions are useless and private property will soon be abolished. oh wait i dont think i was supposed to send that stuff out.

don't you miss the pretzel shop across from stuy from frosh year?? how good was that place? SO good. i miss it. i saw lord hannay of chiswick today who spoke about UN reform-- he was the UK seat on the High-level Panel which came out with its report in december of prescriptions for reform (lina i'm sure you know all about this) so it was cool hearing him say shit like 'so on this issue we all booed down the US, but once in a while we let them have their way.' speaking of which you know the EU contributed 42% of the UN budget? for reference the US gives (or rathr is assigned to give but doesnt give the full) 25%. in conclusion the US sucks big donkey scrotum and the EU is pretty fly for a white guy. oh and there was this loudass protest going on cuz the Turkish foreign minister was speaking across houghton street at the same time. theres this weird sound coming from my desk and its kinda creepy. i hope its not something alive.

so to conclude i will advertise my dates in NY once more
March 25 (evening) --> April 23rd (evening).

Much loveeeeee
