Byron
It’s Friday and the thought of cooking and eating in our cramped apartment was not enticing. So A and I decided to meet up at Angel. One of the annoying things about London is that everytime you walk into a restaurant, you’re effectively gambling away roughly £25. You really just never know if your coke is going to be lukewarm or your steak is going to be rubbery. Its easy to doubt the reviewers too because – well really, do they even know what they’re talking about if they grew…Read More
Burlesque!
With all the commotion of Tuesday night, I’d forgotten about my other exciting outing. Burlesque Life Drawing! I found a website that organises weekly life drawing get-togethers at £10 a pop. Not bad considering some classes go for about £40. They even provide pencils/charcoal and paper for 20p/p. Found another one in Islington for £7 so trying that as soon as I get a bit of cash in! Was from 6:30-9:30. Damn was it draining. I left at 9. It was nice to finally do something creative again. I miss…Read More
AlarmingExcitingLucky
It is a Wednesday morning, and as everyone swims through the sludge that is ‘hump day’, I am propelled through it by the tidlewave of drama that ensued last night. Let me rewind and hit play. In the realm between dream and wakefulness I hear the sound of a phone ringing. But of course there are no phones in this apartment of ours. It is the intercom. With the past months of noise outside our little capsule of a room, it has become easy to ignore constant interruption at 3am.…Read More
Oxford Blue (or Pantone 282)
Did you know that Oxford University’s brand colour has it’s own Pantone code? Neither did I, until today, because I bought a blue Oxford t-shirt for my da and was wondering if maybe I should have got grey. Turns out I got lucky. So a few new things have changed since my last post. Most importantly – I have a job. *Cheer!Huzzah!Hurrah!* – sort of. Being a PA/EA sounds fancy, until you realise, you’re really just someone’s bitch. I spend all day organising someone else’s life, while not having much…Read More
Incomplete Reviews – PvZ iPhone
Plants vs. Zombies – ahhh. The first time I played this game was about 1-2 years ago when it first came out on the Mac. It was addictive, and I played for about 3 consecutive nights. I love the way it’s recreated tower defense, and I especially love the graphics; give me any colour filled game and I’ll be happy to play it. Since moving to London, I’ve had to leave my consoles at home, so my gaming fixes have come exclusively from my DS and iPhone. So PvZ was…Read More
Things in London – Part 1
Things in London that make me think of people I love… Vee – seeing a girl with a Lomo taking a picture of trash, English/Asian couples Catherine – hearing Sigur Ros while travelling on the bus, delicious looking pastries, stylish Londoners, fresh food Jan – shoe stores, Top Shop, people with good make up, people with bad make up, craft markets, Boots Pharmacies, Soho sex stores Liz – old school architecture, museums, parks, fresh food Ban – hearing Coldplay while travelling on the bus, China Town Mitch – tourist pins,…Read More
