541 pm
so i just typed a bunch and i don't know what happened to it.
I'm feeling pretty good today. My wound hurts a little and is kinda tight and sometimes itchy, which is all very good because it means it is healing.
The trip to Deux Beers last night was scary. Molly from Minnesota, this blonde girl who was managing Friday night, and John were there. The girls looked kinda scared when we walked in, but were happy and normal when they saw the cards, and were very excited. Adrienne made the good point that they were probably afraid we were going to walk in and be jerks like "why would you encourage people to do that?" Which, of course, we weren't about to do. So, we left feeling totally confident to come back. Yeay. It was kinda weird to be there though. They showed me this (hard plastic) garbage can that now has a busted corner, that they think I hit. Ouch.
Let me just make a quick point that alcohol really had nothing to do with being on the bar. When we first got there a good song came on and they were like "get on the bar! yeah! everybody!" type deal. So we did. We were on the bar 3 or 4 times before the time we fell. We fell because the bar is small and probably wet, and yes, we had been drinking, but it'd be plenty easy to fall sober. It was fun, but kids, don't try it at home.

doing ... nothing
looking up hotel type info for Amsterdam. Tulips and Anne Frank's house? It will be fantastic. It might even be spring by then.
Don't know if I should be doing anything. I keep playing with the KwikFit cover. I don't like them. :P
As for life outside of this building ... things in the flat have been really good lately. Amanda has been friendly and good lately. The big "flat talk" on Thursday also went really well, and I think we were all pretty happy with outcomes.
Saturday we all stayed in, Mike and Adrienne went to the video store and we watched The Thomas Crown Affair and Grosse Point Blank.
Sunday I took a bath (which was difficult, and therefore worth mentioning). I had to sit with my head forward and it was uncomfortable and sad, I was so afraid I'd bump it. In the afternoon, Kate, Adrienne, Mike, and I went to Spitalfields. They have everything you could possibly want. I am definitely going to go back when I'm feeling better, and dig through all of the really cheap clothes and pictures and cds!
Sunday night Erin and Bart returned from Ireland. Erin and I walked up to return the DVDs and took out Bridget Jones's Diary. When we were coming home, there was a boy outside, trying to buzz up to a flat (you can't hear a thing on those phones), and lo and behold, it was John (the wonderful Australian bar tender at Deux Beers who WALKED the forty minute walk with Mike to the hospital, he is also our new best friend.) He came by to check up, aww. Up in the flats, he asked if he could see my cut, I'm thinking "eww" but I let him take a look. I was soon mortified because he announced that I had something stuck in my hair, and tugged a little and said "oh look what it is" and it was the stone from my ring! I am not disgusting, though, because it wasn't in my hair the whole time - after he walked home from the hospital (!) he'd gone into the pub, put on the lights, and saw my little blue stone in a crack. Amazing. I was soooo happy. See why he's my new best friend? He stayed and watched Bridget and then we all crashed.
Yesterday was class, we watched a version of Metropolis with a "contemporary" soundtrack featuring Adam Ant and Freddie Mercury. Yep. I took the tube home.
Last night Kate and I returned Bridget and went to Sainsbury's, the other new love in my life. Aaaahhh.
Low key nights.
I think A. and I are bringing thank-yous to Deux Beers tonight. I'm nervous. Eeeek.
Have a good one

1139 a.m.
hellooooo! hi!
it is a sunny morning in london.
my glue is starting to itch which i hope means my wound is healing and the glue will fall off soon.
we're going to deux beers tonight (our fav. local pub, also where adrienne and i fell), to bring thank-you notes and see if john is coming for dinner tomorrow. i'm a little nervous about going there.
talked to mariss last night, i need to talk to all of those girls a lot more often. also talked to adam - he's coming in friday morning!!! so excited!
things are good. i am not wearing a scarf today, i think i managed to comb out most of the blood and ick, and make my hair look fairly clean - so that makes me happy.
work is okay, nothing exciting lately. andrew did a lot of work on the kwikfit mag, so even though i did some cover mock ups they were based on his deal. oh well. now i'm doing nothing, i'm waiting for people to give me all the latest mags to scan. saw some pics i picked out, in a few of them, which is sorta fun.
okay.... going to bug people for more mags... lunch in an hour and a quarter.
xoxo

i fell of a bar.
i got a big gash in my head and lots of bruises. i went to the emergency room. after awhile, they put that "human glue" stuff on my head and i can't wash my hair till it falls off. i basically bled for two hours, from my head, so that left me a little weak. . .
i have been wearing a scarf on my head because my hair is a dirty mess and has dried blood and the glue in it. comments at work thus far: gypsy, axl rose
starved, going home
xoxoxo

wednesday 1234 p.m.
everyone needs to do a lot more journaling/blogging/etc.
i have nothing to read!
and i don't know how you are!
xoxo

tuesday 1055 a.m.
Great weekend! It's been really fun to hang out with the fam, and we've done touristy stuff like the Tower of London, and Windsor castle and yesterday we just walked around the city and checked out Westminster Abbey and Parliament and Buckingham Palace. Last night I took them to My Fair Lady, which was fun and they all really liked it.
But, now it's back to work. I haven't done any yet, though, which sort of makes me sad because I could have been hanging out wiht my family some more! Andrew gave me some files to convert but they were bitmaps and photoshop wouldn't open them. Then, this client got here and he's showing her the stuff he's doing. That's been for an hour or so. Maybe some one will ask me to scan something.
Trying to finish catching up on emails - so sorry!!!
xoxoxo

1030 a.m.
mmmmm happy day-after-valentine's day
got home sorta frazzled last night, bu thad a goodfella's pizza, a vienetta for kurt's birthday, and a milk tray for a happy-vday-everyone-i-had-to-work-forever-and-didn't-get-you-valentines thing. plus, bridget jones always talks about them.
i stopped next door before i even went home. the girls told me kurt had gotten a call from bart's office saying "bart's taken a turn for the worse, some one needs to get a cab and come get him" - whhhaaaat? so strange. we were all really worried but when they got back, bart just said it was really stuffy in the office and he felt a little lightheaded. i don't know though, he seemed weird about it, and he is staying home today, and he didn't seem to be sick before that. anyways. had kurt's vienetta after dinner, with my two candles from camden on top, because i couldn't find birthday candles. it was gooood. then we mixed some after-dinner drinks up, and this girl becky who was adrienne's roommate last year came over with her boyfriend. (she's at east anglia and they were in the city for a few days). we headed out to bar 38, which was very cool. got a pitcher of lynchberg lemonade, mmmm. saturday through wednesday pitchers are only £9! we got 5 or 6 drinks out of just one, so it was worth it even for £13. the inside was very cool sort of scandinavian design and very sleek. it was cool, but pretty empty ... not exactly a "romance hot spot."
we went to Deux Beers after and met some different bartenders. we filled up on their wonderful shooters and erin and i got some free ones, mine was this yummmy one with creme de menthe i think, and cream de cacao (i think), and milk. it was green and reeealllly good. we had special valentine's ones and a few from the list too. yummm. we had planned to go to match after, but stayed at deux beers till around 1130, because the fantastic soul CD they were playing picked up tempo with some jackson five "i want you back" and a few other fun songs that i don't remember and a bunch of people started dancing, including us. it was fun.
erin and i went to the golden fish bar after (open till midnight monday-saturday!!!) for chips mmmmmmmm. soooo glad i bought that vinegar last week, because you finish the top layer by the time you get to our building.
so my family is here, somewhere in the city, right now!!! i'm so psyched to see them! andrew's not here, and i'm almost finished the wickhill links thing i'm doing (again! because the guy who made the PDF last time didn't do the thumbnails right or something - i don't know). so anyways, i wonder if i can cut out early! that wouldn't be of much help because i'm not meeting them till like 130 so if they weren't in the room, i'd just have to go back, but i could clean up our flat or something. oh well.
okay i'm gonna finish this project.
ani today
and i got no illusions about you, and guess what? i never did.
when i said, when i said i'll take it
i meant
i meant as is

605 p.m.
let's talk about how much i hate life and how i'm not even close to finished doing these PDFs and how the windows are open and i can sometimes hear large groups of people walking by, having tons of fun. GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

654 pm
thanks to grace's help i'm finally outs
happy vday

544 p.m.
yes, i am still at work.
about 45 minutes ago Andrew came over to tell me that the PDFs that took forever to do at the end of yesterday, which I didn't check, because they took forever and I needed to leave, were messed up. SO I have to do them over so we can send them to the client. Normally, I wouldn't care because I'd be here till 6 or so anyways, but since I did NO WORK today and wanted to leave early to go to Space, I care! Now no one I live with is getting Valentines or even a flower or something. Maybe I will buy them twixes but it's not the same. Sad. I always like to give things to friends on Vday and this year I've been horrid.
547
okay so I just sent another file through. but of course, I don't know if the changes are working, because the first one isn't through yet. one went through, and the fonts were correct, but it was still all cut off!!! Grrrr. So, now i'm sending them through at 75% and just HOPING.
anyways, i only sent cards to danielle and the girls, and i only got like 2 e-cards sent out because after that all the sights got too plugged up with people and i couldn't send anymore. and yesterday space was packed at lunch, but still open afterwork, so i planned to go at EXACTLY 530 today. bummer.

2 pm
Okay back from lunch. Still haven't done any work! Emailed... checked out the websites for the Green party candidates for state treasurer and Governor. I want to find out more about Robert Reich, as well.
Apparently I've got a meeting about the website at 3 pm (which I was unaware of, good thing Peter overheard me ask Andrew if there was anything I ought to do this afternoon), and Andrew said something about being in with the board. Hmmm, I wonder what this is? Then at 4 I'm going to meet with him about a new upcoming design job. Hmmmm. I wonder if the Vodafone thing is happening? I finally finished the mock-up and we didn't do anything with it.
Anyways... going to try to send some more e-cards. I have to try and stop into Space after work, before it closes, so I won't be online after work today.
Back to the Plan, because I never actually listened earlier.
Happy Valentines Day! <3
xoxoxoxoxo

1210 pm
Still haven't done any work, but have plans to do the links in the German version of the Wickhill PDF - for the third time - tomorrow. Andrew is here... hasn't asked me to do antyhing... but he seems to just be wandering around and helping other people... so maybe there's nothing to be done. My dilemma is just always whether or not to ask if there's anything I can do. I feel like that would have to be annoying at moments... and then I always do weird tiny projects that take five seconds. If there's anythingt to be done, I think he'd ask. .... My hands are going to be tired from all this typing I've been doing, I've been catching up on my emails..... it's good I guess. Lunch soon. And the sun is still out, it's amazing!
Moving on to the Dismemberment Plan as the pick-me-up afternoon soundtrack. They're in Boston for two dates in March. So sad. I love them.

1109 am
Still haven't done any work. Grace just got in, so maybe we will do some web site stuff later. I just spent an hour writing an email to Katie. And trying to find some good vday e-cards, but the internet is sloooow on this comp.
Yesterday I passed a guy on the street and thought "he looks familiar," then realized it was because he looked like David Gray, then realized David Gray is at least English, right? If not from London... So I'm like hmm but then again I think he looked younger than DG. But I am bad with ages. Like office-guy ... still have no clue... although I think it'd definitely probably under 28. I've decided.
Listening to Little Plastic Castle.
you are, by far, the cutest

951 a.m. Thursday - Happy Valentine's Day!
I just opened my email and had a card from Craig which I opened and then our fire alarm proceeded to go off and it was all just so weird I almost burst into giggles on the floor. Today has just been really weird so far. Amanda got up at like 758 when she was supposed to be up at like 720 catching the 804 Thameslink to Gatwick. She was out the door by 804 to make it for the 814. But when she was still trying to get ready suddenly someone was buzzing up and it was a package (for Mike), and Bart got it and I don't know, there seemed to be this huge sense of excitement in the flat so I just got up and was lazy all morning and drank tea and didn't even shower. So, I'm in an extra good mood today. My family is coming tomorrow and dad sent an email to a bunch of people saying they were leaving or whatever, and giving my information saying "Jen likes to get mail!" and he ended it with "cheerio," so that was just one more thing to add to my morning. Haha. And Andrew seems to be nowhere in sight (???), another day of emailing/blogging/slacking? Hmmmmm...

155 pm - back from lunch
Dropped off my film, and went into Space to get some wrapping paper and a birthday card. It was swamped, though, with Valentine's tomorrow. You know how at home they've got stuff in the stores months ahead of time, and it's ridiculous? They don't do that here. It's kind of nice, but it also means that I didn't send any Vday stuff to anyone really. I decided to go back Friday or over the weekend.
Looked up tours this morning ... no one seems to be playing. I'm determined to find some good venue and just go and hope.
Andrew's back... didn't ask me to do anything, so here I still am. Rockin HeyMercedes this afternoon, forgot to get more CDs at home on lunch.
Didn't go to FilthyMcNasty's last night, alas, today I cannot announce my new close friendship with any rock or movie stars known to frequent the place.
Going to check email again.... although very few of you are awake yet, I'm sure.
here in the real world, how does it feel?

1130 am
Success! Of course it works. And no need to use up my precious batteries. Granted, I feel anti-social when I'm listening to music, so I usually don't do it for the entire day, but when I don't I'm not sitting around having conversations, so. Whatever.
This morning I've done... nothing. I retouched the vodafone mock-up I've been working on, while I checked my email/emailed/read everyone's journals. That took me till 1045 or so. Then I asked if there was maybe work I should be doing, so I started scanning, but then the thing I was scanning off of was needed for a meeting. So then I typed up this super confidential letter ... dun dun dun. Now, it's just me and the blog. Hmm lunch in an hour and a half ... what should I have today? Toast and jam and some grapefruit? Ah, yes... sounds like breakfast, but mmmmm. Yes, that is what I'm doing. I have nothing else to do besides blog and think about lunch and I could write some emails. Haha. Usually I'm pretty busy ... not today.
Roommate troubles are all coming out. I'm willing to admit how bad the situation sucks. The thing is that it sucks from Mike and Bart's perspectives, too. No one is very happy. Turns out she and the girl from the other flat requested to move to West Tenter the first week they were here, and requested again last week. Good thing is, a girl over there is supposed to be leaving mid-February because she was doing a 5 or 6 week student teaching thing. I also heard though, that they won't go unless they both can. Maybe they will though. Maybe I'll have a double single? I'd take a new roommate though, seriously, I don't think it could be worse. It's not even that she does anything, it's just her horrible, bitchy, self centered, condescending, introverted attitude and it's wreaking havoc on everyone in the house, except maybe Kurt. I don't know. No one's that happy. It's still "okay" but it's getting kind of uncomfortable. I'm thinking maybe Christy and I would just switch spots if they don't get to move. It'd suck for Mike and Bart but it would be great for me. Oh well, we'll see.
Hmmm still not doing anything. By the time they're done this meeting and I do the scanning, maybe it will be lunch time. I'm going to drop off my film from Bath, and it should be ready tomorrow. I wish I'd done it this morning, because then I could have got them back after work. I need to figure out some sort of FTP thing to use so I can put pictures up. I'm sure I can use the scanner. I can sort of do whatever I like here, it's nice.
I was just thinking I could sign onto quick buddy... but it's 630 a.m. at home.
I'm psyched for my fam to come! Calling them tonight to get their info/finalize plans. I'm not coming into work Monday, which means a full day Friday, but it will be worth it. I think I'll prob miss class too. I think I can just borrow Kate's notes. He said last week "next week we'll be watching old German movies instead of old Russian movies." Haha. The class is definitely more interesting than that makes it sound. It's not very difficult, but it's interesting, especially because the class is long enough that we can watch entire films. I don't know if I already mentioned it, but a couple of weeks ago we watched L'Appartement which was interesting. I think we watched it for it's narrative style.
back to work!

1127 am Wednesday
I've been bringing CDs to work lately, which has been v. nice. Monday it was Jawbreaker/JTB mix, Kel's surprise mix, and Dashboard. Yesterday was Piebald, Jawbreaker, and Hey Mercedes until I ran out of battteries. I just started up today with HM.
Wow, I also just realized I'm stupid. There's a CD drive, of course, and it's got a head phone plug.... I'm gonna give it a try.

Hello Blog! And blog readers.
Things are good here in London.
Bath was FANTASTIC. You got to walk around on 2000 year old stones that Romans walked on and their original drainage systems still work. I've never been to a historical site like this one - everything was just right there.
We went up Friday on the bus and stayed in a hostel. The hostel was pretty cool, run by young people, crazy murals on the walls. Each room was a different music genre - we were all in Rock and my bed was The Eagles... weird. There was a bar in the basement, which was tiny and really old, with curved ceilings. The bar wasn't extensive but the people were friendly and all drinks were £2. There were couches and loud music and a pool table and people. We got in kind of late so when we went out to check out pubs, almost everything was closing, and all of the places with late licenses were clubs charging £5 or so to get in, and none of us had the energy for it at that point, so back to the hostel, which has a 24 hour liquor license (so the bar is open till 6 am....!), for another drink, then off to bed.
Saturday we got up pretty early, got breakast and went to the Baths. It was a beautiful day and after we took a long walk up towards the Royal Crescent. We went through a park with ponds and a botanical garden on our way and ended up trekking past the Crescent. We made our way back and over the the Museum of Costume, which was kind of a let down. It started to rain when we were trying to find somewhere to eat (not an easy thing to do in England at 430 in the afternoon, since places are open for lunch, then close till 5 or 6, and are open for dinner - or they at least shut their kitchens down - - you can always get a pint). We ate, stopped back at the hostel, and got on the bus, got back late, hung out, and went to bed, thank god. Haha. I was exhuasted, but it was really fun.
I slept from pretty much midnight Saturday till 11 Sunday, it was fantastic. It was a great day out and Adrienne and I went to Camden Town for the markets. We both ended up with some great candles, I got a great bag for only £8, a simple little wire toothbrush holder, a present for mum, and shower gel from the Body Shop that was on sale! It was great - they have evvvverything at that market, and it was great to be outside on a nice day. Sunday night we went to see Gosford Park at the Barbican, which was only £5 and had very comfy seats, but no popcorn. I really liked the movie. I came home and there was a message that Adam had called, so I called him back and talked forever which was really good.
Yesterday was class and work and it was a great day for mail! In between class and work, I found a PACKAGE from mum with socks and valentine's card!!!, a package from study abroad with some reminders and two issues of The Scarlet, and a package from RLH about housing, at which I could laugh and be filled with joy at the thought of no more dorms! After work Mike gave me a package slip belonging to me and I ran to the post office and got it before they closed - it was the package from Lori and it was soooo much better than I even thought it might be! It was a birthday/christmas/goingaway/valentines gift with FOAMING HAND SOAP! and lotion and caaaaaaaandy and stickers and stuff all in a powerpuff bag
Okay I'm on AIM Quick Buddy now and everyone keeps popping up into my typing so I'm gonna go.
Filthy McNasty's tonight, I think ... Shane, Bono? Will you be there?
xoxo

Thursday 330 pm
blog blog blog I'm at work. I forgot to bring music with me today. Most people here don't listen to headphones or anything, but somedays when I know what I have to do all day, and it's just sitting a computer by myself, I like to bring some tunes. Oh well.
It's gloomy and damp here today, granted, it is every day, but today it's a little chillier and damper, or something. . .
I finished reading Sex and the City the other day, and started The Graduate yesterday. Yesterday was very productive, I also finished making valentines, watched Sex and the City (2 episodes every Wednesday - yesssss), and made a batch of twice baked potatoes, which I only baked one and then froze. I'm so domestic.
Weeknights here in London tend to be low-key. Tonight will probably also be house-bound, but I have things to do! Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Bath (yeah, several people have already made that joke), on the bus. I have never taken the bus, well, at least when it's not a field trip or something. We're staying in a hostel (also have never stayed in a hostel), and coming back Saturday night, weeehooo. I can't wait. It'll be better than the Rosetta Stone. Ooooh I just got really excited thinking "but nothing will be better than seeing Paris!" Paris, I've waited so long for you! I think I'm going April 25 with Kate. I think I will probably die upon sight of it. Aaahhhhh.
So today had a really exciting start, because on my way out to go to work, I saw there was mail in our box, which happens every day, but today there was mail for MEEEE. Yeay! It was from my mom, it was a "hi" note and two bookmarks. One of which has a pastel, cartoony girl in a hat and country dress with like, some birds, and it says "celebrate your special day" or something. I don't know where she got those from, but I laughed. I was happy. THEN I check my email and have a letter from Danielle - she and Meredith bought their tickets and are actually coming to visit! I was soooo happy. They'll be here for St. Patrick's day - which has to be good.
My family arrives a week from tomorrow - I knew the first 6 weeks would fly by. I was just thinking about what the rest of the weekends will be like, and they're going to be verrry busy. Over our Easter break in March, I think we might be going to Amsterdam. Apparently they're having this giant tulip festival. And we'll go tour Anne Frank's house.
When I was coming back from lunch today, I was just thinking about how much I've accepted this as my life. I wonder what it will be like when I go home?
So yes, this week has been pretty low key. We found out about some movie theaters near us that are only £4-5 to get into. Sweet action. Kate and I need to see Gosford Park for our class. There are 3 or 4 movies out over here that I really want to see. I may just go by myself sometime, I still have never done that.
What else, what else? Mike and Amanda are pretty sick. Yesterday Mike stayed home, today Amanda stayed home. It's kind of weird when I go home for lunch and they're there, I think that's what made me realize how into my routine I am. Amanda has been kind of sick for a good 2 weeks now, it's kind of scary - just because the longer it goes on, the more chance there is I'm gonna get it. I'm pretty amazed that (knock on wood), I haven't been sick yet. Well, except for the day I threw up all morning and couldn't go to work. But that was early on. Maybe I got it all done early? I don't know.
All right... I guess I really have nothing to say... Things are good. Tonight I'll probably fill out some cards, get things ready to mail, wash some stuff for the weekend.... oh, and watch the Sopranos. Haha.
It's supposed to rain this weekend.
At least there won't be the gale-force winds of last weekend.
Take care, xoxo

What a good weekend!
Friday night Kate, Adrienne and I went pub-hopping up in this are called Angel. There were tons of pubs of all types, all in a row. The first one we stopped in was called The Angel, and was pretty packed. Some man told us we had just missed a girl throwing chairs. Weird. Then we met an Australian and a Canadian, and while we were chatting with them this crazy girl came in screaming about two feet behind me and getting all in this other girl's face, screaming and pointing. We all started to go to the back as one of the bartenders tried to seperate the girls and ended up getting pulled all around, and some dude was about to throw a chair. The other bartenders started yelling at everyone to "get back!" and a BRAWL broke out. It was crazy. Another bartender got a fire extinguisher and sprayed it on the people fighting, but this one guy kept beating up this other guy and then when he got up off of him he kicked him again. It was vi-o-lent. Once everything had calmed down, we started to leave. The boys were comforting the girls on the floor, and there was a PILE of hair on the floor. It was gross gross gross. There was more hair in that pile than what I have on my head. Ugh. The police were outside with the bartender that sprayed the fire extinguisher and we booked it up the street. We popped in a few other places then ended up at this place, the name of which I do not know. We chatted with some people there and when they kicked everyone out at 1120, we went down to this bar we'd gotten a flier about, called the Blue Angel. Apparently it was free entry and there was a DJ and it was open till 2. Score. No one was really dancing when we got there, but we danced, and pretty much started up a dance party. It was fun. We met some blokes there as well, and almost went with them to meet an american friend of theirs, but decided to head home. We got home around 130 and I had a sinus headache starting up, which wasn't a fun ending, but the night was great. I love dancing, and meeting people, even though we're not ever going to see them again, haha.
Saturday morning I got up at 9. My head felt horrible. I got ready anyways and we went to the tube and rode over to Embankment. I almost got off and went home, but I'm glad I didn't. We met up with Jess at a tube stop, and with Raffi and Hannah at the London Eye. The rest of the group was MIA so we went on. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was pretty cool. By the time we were getting off, my head was starting to feel better. They take a picture of you in the little pod thing when you're almost back to the beginning, and we all made "scared" faces. Jess bought the picture, it was funny. Kurt was there when we got off, he didn't get there till 1150 and decided just not to go on. We all decided to walk to Brick Lane and get Indian for lunch. It was a nice walk along the Thames, and then we just kept walking and walking. Right when we were all getting tired and hungry and verging on whiney, we arrived. Raffi bargained with the guy at this place called Saffron, and we got 10% off the bill, and a guarantee that if we didn't like our meal, we didn't have to pay for it, no worries, haha. I had Chicken Tikka Massala. I think that was the first Indian food I'd had since one time in tenth grade. It was really good, I was happy. We parted ways after lunch, and went back home.
We chilled for a couple of hours then went to meet Erin and her dad at the Rock Garden, in Covent Garden, for dinner. I had this tortellini with pumpkin or something, it was weird. It was incredibly rich, and although I didn't love it, it was good. The restaurant was pretty cool. We ate inside, but they also have an outdoor area with those heaters, and they kept it surprisingly warm. Kate and I split Rhubarb brulee for dessert. What exactly that means, I'm not sure, but it was creamy and good. Erin's dad was really nice, we all had a nice time. Kate and I were going to go to the club/bar part of the Rock Garden where they supposedly have pictchers of cocktails, but it was a club night and it was £12 to get in. So instead, I bought Sex and the City and we went back home again.
Saturday night we all stayed in. At ten, I almost went to a club with Kurt to meet up with some people from West Tenter, but decided against it, since my sinuses still weren't quite 100%. He ended up walking there and just came back anyways because they weren't letting anyone in for awhile. Open Your Eyes was on (original, Spanish movie that Vanilla Sky is based on. I got too sleepy to finish it but although some parts are JUST LIKE VS while other parts seemed out of order, and the whole movie seemed really rushed, and you didn't get to know any of the characters as well. It was still good, but I think I will say VS was better.
Hmmmm it's almost 6 and we've got a touch-base meeting with the program heads and our flat at 630. Time to go home. Details on Sunday another time. . . . A good weekend though, and I saw the Superbowl. yeay pats
haha

Friday 340 pm
I'm in an internet cafe on Leather Lane and every time I try to reply to an email it just keeps messing up. I would tell the lady but I've only got about 10 minutes left, and it's quicker to write one journal entry than 5 emails.
Adrienne and I had planned to come up to the market here today but we waited around for Kate, who never showed, and when we got here everything had closed up. Adrienne bought a cute bag for £5 (!) and I came in here. The wind seems to have died down, which is nice, because I'm going to head home soon.
Those of you who I should have emailed - I'm sorry, and I'll probably write you Monday if I don't ring you before then.
Tonight I think we're hitting some pubs I heard about at work, and stopping in to see our buddy Jamie and see about maybe going to this club tomorrow night. First, though, I think I need a nap.
After I leave here, I'm going to the grocery store (the sucky one). What an exciting life, huh? Haha. It's really dark out. I can't believe it's not even noon yet at home. Ah, well.
OH today I went to the post office to use the ATM and I was thinking on my way up about how I wanted to see some one I knew (I know it's unlikely). AND THEN as I'm leaving the post office I see Tim and Tony from work. Ah yes, Clerkenwell is my home :D
You should come visit, I'll take you to the Golden Fish Bar for some good fried fish and THE BEST chips with salt and vinegar mmmmmmmmmmmm!
:D
I'm happy.
xoxo
have a good weekend!
