Day 91: Wales Watching

Song of the Day: Beneath a Moonless Sky. From Love Never Dies. As I promised.. more songs from the amazingly outstanding musical. This one by far is one of my favorites. Then again, I would only mention my favorites on here, so scratch that last comment it proves redundant in a sense. Back to the song.. beautiful! and incredibly hypnotic. hehehe.
Again, I know, I haven't blogged in absolutely forever. And for the last three days it wasnt entirely my fault.. I didn't have internet. But all those other days.. yeah.. totally my fault. But I'll do a little update. Just got back from Wales! and no.. I didn't see any whales. I did go to this cool outdoor museum that looked like I had just walked into Pride and Prejudice. All I needed was Mr. Darcy to walk around the corner and then I would have been in my own first rate Novel. haha. and then I went to this church today and it was absolutely amazing. It reminded me of my home church back in Georgia.. We just worshipped and yeah, it was wonderful. There was this little old lady who came up to us beforehand and gave us cokebottle candies and she was just so sweet and reminded me of my Grandma. Which made me miss home.. and so on and so forth. But now I am back in London and have loads and loads of homework to do.. as usual. I swear, I cannot wait until I am home just because that means I have almost two months of no school. This work load is bloody ridiculous. You want to know exactly how many papers I have due in the next three weeks? 23. thats over one per day. yeah.. ridiculous. like I said. yet here I am blogging and uploading pictures to facebook. which reminds me... go check them out!! they are of Halloween party and Wales!!
The halloween party was fantastic. I did Jill's, Aimelle's, Jessica R's, and my make-up! And then I did my hair too. It was an awesome night just because I love dressing up. Probably a huge reason why I am a theatre major. I mean come on... I get to dress up and become someone else for a living!! Well, if I am cast that is. And if not I get to work backstage and watch other people do so. Pretty good gig if you ask me.
Nothing besides that has been happening.. Pretty boring if you ask me. I am going to Disneyland Paris in a week. So let's just say that's about the biggest excitement of my week, nay probably the month. because by then it'll be november! And my birthday will be a week a way. I am pretty sure it wont feel like a birthday at all over here. First of all.. it'll be my first without my family. Secondly, what am I supposed to do? Go to a pub and buy a special meal? oh wait.. nope can't go into a pub. Go to a store a buy myself a new pair of jeans? Oh wait.. they don't carry my size (and if they do.. they fit awkwardly and look ugly). Thirdly, we'll see how many people care. Because I mean, November seems to be the month of birthdays for people over here.. and im the last one.. so it's like.. so what.. its your birthday.. weve already celebrated three. lol.
anyway, i am off to bed. exhausted one might say. Or just ready for tomorrow to come. either way, have a wonderful day. Until next Time. :D

Day 84: Just because I want another reason not to do homework

Song of the Day: Till I hear you Sing. Sung by Ramin Karimloo in the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Love Never Dies. Which is pretty much a sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. I saw it last Wednesday night. It was absolutely epic, and the songs of the day will probably be from the musical for awhile.. at least until I run out of the best songs. But this one.. is definitely one of the best... I literally can't stop listening to the soundtracks. The musical has been getting rather bad reviews over here in London, which is bogus. I mean, don't get me wrong... it's very different. But so amazing! Anyway, if you want to listen to a snippet of this song click on the link, and there you have it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYssEMBrlCM Heaven for your ears.
I apologize for not blogging for over eight days. So many things have happened and I've kind of been way too tired to talk about it all. So I'll do a brief synopsis of my week!
First: Monday I had scenefest. it is completely finished. I passed Intro to Theatre!!! hopefully with an A, but probably with an A-. And if I get anything less you bet your britches I will be having a pretty intense discussion with my professor. Speaking of such things.. Art class makes me want to poke out my eyes with an ice pick. Ugh, I'm still so frustrated I wasn't allowed to just drop the class. Why everything has to be so difficult over here is beyond me. I'm so glad I only have one more month left. I mean don't get me wrong. I'm have a blast, but for every amazing beyond fantastic moment there has been an equally aggravating and potential murderous moment. I could give specifics but then we'd be here for forever. The point is, I miss home. And I'm grateful to be getting back within the next month. Staying up with homework is getting pretty bad too, and that's not good. I was doing so great keeping up with all the pointless busy work assignments and now I'm so over all of them. So I have to work harder to actually just do the papers. Hence finding every potential thing to procrastinate my work. Bad habit really. Anyway.. back on topic. I saw Love Never Dies, like a mentioned above. Just reiterating how amazingly good it was. I really hope they bring it over to Broadway soon. And then this last weekend I went to Dublin, Ireland. It wasn't as neat as Scotland because it was an actual city and well, actual cities don't have much to do besides shopping. But I did get to buy most of my Halloween costume!! Which I will share with you all when I take loads of pictures at our Halloween party this Thursday!! the day before we leave for Wales! which again, have no idea what is in Wales exactly.. but what the hey.. I'm going! So yay.
And here's another thing that annoys me.. the fact I don't have Internet in my room.. so I have to come down to this stupid library and listen to these stupid girls laugh obnoxiously and talk loudly and singing!!.. so i hear them over the music blaring from my headphones.. i would like to politely shove this Internet chord down their throats. I know that sounds violent, but well it is. They're very annoying. obviously I wouldn't do that.. I just get very frustrated. I just want to listen to my Love Never Dies soundtrack.. and they're making it SO DIFFICULT!!!!! ugh. Anyway, tomorrow starts a new week of school.. how exciting.
If you have any questions.. feel free to ask them.. I cant really think of anything else to write. So this will be the end of my rambling and venting. Until Next Time.. :)

Day 76: Studious student.. that's me

Song of the Day: Dynamite... but not by Taio Cruz.. well okay he was the original.. but there is this guy named Mike Tompkins on Youtube.. and well.. he wins.. and he's so pretty. and just to prove it to you.. here is the link.. GO TO IT!!! At least I think i added the link.. I dont really know if it worked.. if not.. go to youtube.. type in Dynamite Mike Tompkins and Wa-lah youre there. yay.
And yes.. i know I've missed two days worth of blogging.. but ever since the ten day excursion around England I just haven't had the discipline to do so.. that and internet is all the way in the basement.. and here I am sitting all by myself at 2 am .. where I could be up in bed.. warm.. and alone.. but warm.. and safe.. theres a lock on my door. there is not a lock on the library door. Just saying. But anyway.. I've been up doing homework for once.. so I've actually been pretty productive tonight.. unlike today.. where I spent over 5 hours shopping.. and guess what I ended up buying nothing.. (well i got some shampoo and face wash.. but i wanted pants.. i need pants.. but alas I bought no pants because there were no pants that looked remotely worth buying) and to top it all off.. I fought off hordes of people today for nothing. Seriously.. it was worse than black friday. I don't know how people do it here.. how they shop? like I cant even explain how much I dont ever want to do that again. so yeah.. a big waste of my Saturday.. it upsets me so much. I could have been doing so much more.. but whatever.
So.. on a more positive note.. I saw the movie RED.. with bruce willis and all those wonderfully older actors.. well I LOVED it. like literally.. LOVED it. thought it was action packed.. but also hilarious.. and incredibly witty.. and just LOVED it. you should go see it. seriously. the end.
Okay.. so literally one more day until Scenefest.. and who isnt even close to being done with their production book???? yes. me. surprise surprise right? But i swear ive been working on it.. and i have made a small ish dent.. but im just frustrated because tomorrow is my day to be back up for worship at church.. and thatll take a good chunk out of my time to study and do work.. but oh well.. ill make the best of it and at least I get to sing.. i havent sung in front of people for an awfully long time. I'll let you know how it all goes. Well Im off to bed.. or to work on my homework.. its slightly debatable. lots of love and until next time. :D

Day 73: on point

Song of the Day: River Deep, Mountain High by none other than Glee. Well redone by Glee.. originally it was a celine dion song.. but I am pretty sure that Santana and Mercedes did the best job ever. I've been listening to it all day!!!
So I went and saw Romeo & Juliet ballet style. It wasn't too bad. There were a couple of parts I may have dozed off during.. but for the most part I was pretty interested. The best part was I could do my own inner dialogue between the characters because there were no words. bahaha. i win. And then earlier we had rehearsals for our scenefest scene... it actually went well. I mean no one is really off book.. besides me.. and most aimelle.. but it will be okay.. we can do this. I have the entire weekend to perfect my acting and make the production book that is due monday morning. woot. I am also going to be all alone in my room this weekend because Jill is heading off to Paris with her family. I'm slightly jealous.. because I wish I was heading off to Paris.. or really just anywhere over here, with my family. I miss them all so much.
Other than that I don't really remember what I did today. I should have edited photos for facebook but of course I did not. I did memorize mroe of my other scene that's due Monday so that's good right?? oH boy. I just found these movies on Youtube that I may have to watch on my spare.. okay cross that out.. i have no spare time.. just in time eventually.. But theyre BBC movies.. Shakespeare Retold.. they have Much ado, taming of the shrew, midsummer nights dream, and macbeth.. (and in macbeth is James mcavoy!!! AHHHH). So yes.. majorly excited about this right now. But I promised my mom Id head off to bed.. apparently Ill get sick if i continue to stay up this late.. haha. On to yet another day.. :D Until next time.

Day 72: On My Own

Song of the Day: On My Own from Les Miserable!!!! Because I saw it for the first time tonight and it was beyond EPIC!!!! I fell in love. Not with anyone in particular, but the entire musical. No wonder people love it so much.. it's absolutely fantastic. And this production obviously did wonders because I am gushing my praises right now!!! I am just so hyped on the amazingness of it all.
I am excited for tomorrow because I only have one class. YAY. That means the rest of the day will be spent editing photos, rehearsing my groups scene for scene fest, and going to a ballet. Which Jill and I are getting all decked out for. I'm doing our make up and she's doing our hair. We shall look fab. I already know how I'm doing her make-up.. so YAY. I mean.. I don't know how it'll turn out but I mean.. I do my make up and it turns out pretty good.. so I think it'll be just great. I wish I had more to talk about, but sadly I just dont. I finished my first facebook picture album from our ten day trip today.. so if you havent checked those out.. feel free to do so now. And then.. well that's about it. Glee is on tonight!!! Of course I don't get to see it until tomorrow.. but the music that I bought.. well it is absolutely wonderful. I love all the songs. And I just know this next episode is going to be great. Better than the last one at least.. because I just didn't like that one that much.. especially the song choices. Oh, and just so I can make you all extremely jealous (or at least the girl readers) we are going to see this new musical titled Birdsong in two weeks.. and the main guy.. he's the same guy who plays Prince Caspian in the Narnia movie series. His name is Ben Barnes, and he is slightly beautiful. So be jealous. bahahaha. Watch.. the one night we go we get an understudy.. mehhhh. But at least I shared that little tid bit with you hehe.
I wish I had more to say... or more to say about something interesting and relevant, but alas I do not. I am going to hop into bed and finish my journal because it is due tomorrow.. wooo.. And sometime soon I need to go out and buy new shampoo, conditioner and body wash because sadly I am almost all out. Darn me taking showers so much. haha. Well, lots of love. Until next time!! :D

Day 71: I heart Monty Python quotes

Song of the Day: Papa Don't Preach - the glee version. Gleetastic. I don't know why but it's been in my head the entire day, and I never even heard it play once. But you want to know what I'm excited about? Besides Breakfast tomorrow... Glee on itunes!!! Every Tuesday I get the new Glee song list before anyone at home does and it makes me happy.
So, I skipped another blog entry. But for good reason this time... I spent the entire night working on one of my major projects and writing 5 papers. I finished, and then got about two hours of sleep. yes I know I bring this all upon myself, I'm under no delusion that it's anyone else's fault. and you'd think I'd learn my lesson... but for some reason.. even when I plan every day for a week to get started or do something when it comes down to it I dont do the bulk of whatever it is until the last moment. What is that about???? At least for my scenefest I have already memorized the one scene I am in. Because guess what I just found out today!!! Scenefest.. is Monday the 18th. That's literally one week away. And do you want to know how many rehearsals we have had?? 0. nada. nil. squat. And for once this is not something I have been putting off... if anything I am the one in the group that has continuously gotten on other members. Obviously it has done nothing, because we've still had zero rehearsals... but at the very least if it goes up in smoke I can grade the people who did absolutely nothing.. and i will be giving them an F- Because as a theatre major it is one thing I take pride in over all my other classes. This is something I want to do for the rest of my life.. and when people in my group dont carry their weight... well.. i get a little annoyed. But I guess we'll see what happens.. hahaha. it should be interesting to say the least.
Tomorrow I see Les Mis for the first time.. ever. Apparently it's one of those musicals you have to see before you die.. welp, I'm checking it off my bucket list tomorrow. And I think I'm going to dress up for it too. Not too much or anything because we're not going out to eat before hand... but the again I dont have too many dressy outfits to pick from.. so I guess I'll just decide tomorrow when the time comes. And then on Wednesday I get to see a ballet!! Romeo and Juliet style. So those are some of the exciting things happening this week!
One more thing before I head off to bed. I don't know if it's something in the air or what, but I brought three pairs of jeans here. And two of them have giant, and i do mean giant holes in them now. And the third pair is barely hanging on. But I wear the third pair less because they're bigger on me than I like. But Seriously! These jeans are falling apart.. and when I try to sew them? Yeah that lasts for about a half a day. And then hello the hole is back. Its a very upsetting issue for me, especially since one of the jeans have become my favorite pair. No bueno. Anyway, enough yapping. Off I go.. to sink into my comfy bed! Until Next Time

Day 69: Alarm Malfunction

Song of the Day: Jessie's Girl - Glee version. I love Finn. Especially in the Britney Spears episode!!!
I was really excited for breakfast this morning. I went to bed last night thinking only 7 hours until breakfast.. yay. So I set my alarm and was ready for sleep to go rushing by. (you may think this odd.. my overly joyous excitement for breakfast.. but what you dont understand is that every morning I get to wake up to a roll with chocolate creme. it's like a little slice of heaven) So I wake up in the morning, Jill still sound asleep in her bed, thinking that I had woken up before my alarm and was really proud of myself. When do I ever wake up before my alarm?? So I get dressed and find my alarm which doubles as my clock to see what time it was.. and it was 938. breakfast ends at 9. I had somehow after setting my alarm clock forgot to switch it on. So what I thought was waking up before my alarm was actually not. The point to this story is that I missed breakfast and was very upset. Which passed down to my work ethic because instead of jumping right into homework like I had planned.. I jump right into watching Smallville. Which is in its last season.. something I'm not that sad about because at this point I feel like they have just been dragging it on forever.. and I havent had my favorite character for the last four seasons.. Lex.. or the guy who plays Lex was my favorite.. even though he's evil.. I just always wish he could become good. Oh well.. anyway.. today I started on my St. Paul's script.. but I still have so much to do. So tomorrow.. seriously.. nothing but homework.. well breakfast and homework. I can do it. I just need that time constraint in order to really kick it out of me... I'm crazy I know...
Nothing happened today. Boring really.. Maybe tomorrow I'll go out to a coffee shop to do my homework.. I think that's what I will do. Be different than normal. Drink some hot chocolate.. because I don't like Coffee. Good plan aye? I think so. And just to reinforce this concept.. because I know I have mentioned it before.. It is now October 9 and the weather still feels like summer. Maybe the cooler end of summer.. but still hot, humid, and never cold. NEVER. I just want to wear my winter jacket already. And I have this sinking feeling that it'll never get cold. And it doesn't even rain that much either. The last few days have been absolutely beautiful. So just for those people who still think London is a cold, rainy, and dreary place they are very much mistaken. Well, I am off to get some sleep. And tomorrow I am waking up for breakfast for sure! No more stupid alarm mistakes. HaH! Until Next time. :D

Day 68: woo upside down is moo

Song of the Day: Peacock by Katy Perry. Not saying it is a wholesome song in any way, but its really catchy and I kind of love it.
So I know that I kind of failed the last two days when it comes to blogging, because well I didn't. Which is kind of a huge deal considering its the first time i've skipped out on blogging this entire semester!! Not that I'm proud of skipping but I went really long!!! It's not like anything big happened the last two days anyway.
I did get to go to Harrods today. You should know what that is but just in case you don't its the biggest department store ever. And its not like JC pennys ... no no.. its like the highest retail stuff around. I felt under dressed just walking in the place. I didn't really get to peruse that much because the person I went with gets a little overwhelmed.. so we left after one floor (there are over 5). But the floor I did get to check out was the Women's clothing and it was wow. well not all of it was wow, but there was an entire section of beautiful gowns.. the kind you see in gossip girl. Or at balls. but I dont know about you, but I don't get to go to alot of balls. It was amazing. I would have looked around more, but like I said... overwhelmed.. and we booked it. Which just means I'll have to go back at a later date to get the full experience.
I got caught up on Vampire Diaries today. and can I just say.. Wow. It has by far become my favorite show. Like Glee is good, and amazing and all that... but it's kind of predictable. But Vampire Diaries??? I'm thrown for a loop in every episode.. and ive read the bloody books!!! But anyway, it's just amazing. I still stand by my belief that the guy playing Stefan should have played Edward Cullen. I don't know what those casting people were doing. In all honesty that had to be drunk.. or high when they chose robert pattison. Crazy.
Well tomorrow I am literally spending all day doing homework. I will allow myself one break to watch one movie.. but that is it. I have to write all my papers and finish (and by finish I mean start and finish) my OCP project. I know I can do it. I mean I memorized my entire script for the Scenefest we will have for intro to theatre at the end of October already. So it's just a matter of mind over matter!!! Yay.
Well I think that's about it for now. I will be off to bed!! which I'm hoping will bring sleep, because I slept over 12 and a half hours today (not consecutively but close to it) and I have a bad feeling I'm going to toss and turn for at least an hour. but we'll see.
Oh and one more thing. If i haven't been able to talk to you over the last few days.. or maybe the last month i'm sorry. I can honestly say you have probably popped up into my mind at least once... but probably more. And I love you!! :D
wait wait.. there's another thing I have to talk about before I go.. I just thought of it.. and I may have mentioned it before but I doubt it. So Aimelle (like me) is a Harry Potter fan.. and she has done alot of reading on the Hogwarts houses and blah blah blah. Well she was sick and tired of all those stupid quizes that tell you what house you belong in (but really its just you picking which answers you think will lead you to the house you want) [and I should have given this paragraph a disclaimer.. if you don't know anything about Harry Potter you will be completely confused. and probably think I am crazy] So she thought up her own was to sort people. She uses a list of questions and scenarios and sorts you by the answers you give her. And I think its a great concept and a really fun discussion. However, she sorted me into Hufflepuff. yes, I said it. Hufflepuff. And I don't think anyone really understands how much I dislike the fact she sorted me into that house. Not because it's a bad house, but because I do Not want to be in it... period. And people keep making disparaging remarks about how I need to accept it and blah blah. Well I'm not going to. Besides I would have been sorted at age 11, and I'm pretty darn sure I wouldn't have been in Hufflepuff then.. so I'm not going to be in Hufflepuff now. Yes, I know that this is all fictional drivel, but it just upset me is all. I tried to come to grips with it.. but I just cant! that's pretty pathetic huh? Oh-well.. You haven't had me vent or ramble on like that in awhile.. I hope you enjoyed it! But I am seriously off to bed now. woooo..... Until Next Time.

Day 65: i LOVE breakfast

Song of the day: One of Us redone by none other than.. you guessed it.. Glee!!! I havent seen the latest episode yet, and my guess is that it is going to be highly sacrilegious but I still like this song! its been in my head all day.
So we saw Warhorse tonight. A play all about a horse during WWI and his owner. Um I cried. Not like a baby thankfully, but close enough to it. It was amazing.. and like i said yesterday.. it is going to be turned into a movie. I'm excited to see what Spielberg does with it.
I put some photos up on facebook if youd like to occupy any free time perusing them. Only 55 out of 450 so dont worry there is alot more where those few came from. In fact there were supposed to be 69 but of course facebook decided to be a toilet and therefore it didn't all work. But anyway I am off to bed because I am of course exhausted. When am i Not??? I really should start taking my iron pills again.. maybe thatll help aye??
Ps I love breakfast here at the highbury center. Im craving it so badly right now its ridiculous. Until neXt time. :D oh and sorry so short.

Monday, October 4, 2010

Day 64: Over it.

Song of the day: silence. it is not a song, but more of an amazing phenomenon that never seems to happen here. I'd really like it.. for people to be quiet and not speak as loudly as humanly possible without yelling. meh.
So first day of school is complete. And I still wish I didn't have to go to school tomorrow. I hope this mood of mine lets up otherwise im going to be rather disappointed for the next two months until i leave. I think I just have to get back into the groove of things I guess. But until then Im bored and over school. and by school i really just mean these classes. But alas I dont think you want me rambling about how much school sucks, so change of subject. Still havent completed editing photos. it's ridiculous. I have no patience for it all at the moment. Tomorrow we go see Warhorse which is being made into a movie and Spielberg is directing it!!! so Ill let you all know if itll be good or not to see in theatres. Other than that I have classes and homework galore.. but relatively nothing to talk about. Maybe I'm just tired. probably so. I did take a nap today.. that was simply wonderful. Well I'm off to skype my mother, and then go to bed. Excited for Glee music tomorrow on Itunes!!! YAY. Until Next Time.

Day 63: Last Day of Freedom

Song of the Day: Shiksa Goddess from The Last Five Years. if you havent seen it well youre missing out. It's a sad musical to be sure, but very very good. and here is a youtube video just in case you were thinking of checking it out. actually thats a lie.. blogger wont let me paste the link here.. because blogger is dumb. meh. It's a good song. just saying.
Now as for my day. I unpacked!!! So I am officially all moved in to my tiny little room at the Highbury Center here in Islington. It didn't even take that long.. only an hour. You have to understand how proud I am of myself.. because I totally would have rather have just continued sleeping. In fact when Jill came back from Church she was shocked that I was up out of bed and dressed.. let alone that I unpacked. I was just surprising everyone today. particularly myself. haha. I wanted to get all of my photos uploaded and edited by tonight, but obviously I didn't get that completed because there are no photos here.. and that's because I got an official count of how many photos I actually took.. 457. And so because of that outlandish number.. well, i just didn't get it all done. But eventually okay? I'm working on it. And it's not like I didn't do stuff today. I had to go to the Globe and watch King Henry IV part 2. It wasn't as good as part 1 but I still enjoyed it. I got to use some of the time to catch up on my journal entries. And now after I am done with this blog I will only have 3 more pages to write!!! and then off to comfortable and loving bed. Did I mention I have school tomorrow? I am so not excited. Like I just had ten days of no school.. and now that I have to start up again.. well it makes me sad. I used to love school, but now I find that I dread it most of the time. Anyway, enough of my complaining. I didn't mention this.. but on my ten day trip I became rather addicted to Antique shopping. I didn't buy the lot or anything, but I did buy two rings. One of which was to replace a ring that I loved, and unfortunately can no longer find (IE its lost.. or someone stole it.. which would not surprise me because it was the best ring ever, but considering my track record i most likely lost it). Its beautiful and I wear it all the time now. The other ring is a bit fancier and I haven't worn it yet, but I will eventually.
Today was Jill's birthday. And although I couldn't go all out because I am poor I tried to make sure it was a definite happy birth day. Which reminds me that mine is shortly approaching. Twenty Two everyone. Scary aye? Well, I am going on about nothing now, and should probably stop before I start boring people to death. I will say this though before I go. I got to talk to so many important people today. People that I love with all my heart. Both friends and family. I just want you all to know that even though we're far apart, I think about you daily and wish you could be here with me. I love you!! and literally cannot wait until I see you again. Until Next Time. :D

Day 62: I'm Backkk.

Song of the Day: Toxic redone by Glee. Because of course I bought the music because I am addicted. And although this is a more acoustic version I kind of love it.
Oh yeah.. Hi. I'm back!!! Got back yesterday to be more specific, but I was still on vacation so I did not blog. In fact I did nothing but read a book.. something I kind of did over the last week alot. I finished seven books in the course of 10 days. Who rocks? I think I do. They were all good. Some better than others though. And now that I have no more books to read I have to dive back into school.. something I'm really not that excited about. at all. Maybe I'll take up writing again.. Lord knows I havent written a thing in over a month. I really miss it but for some reason can't get my thoughts out in an orderly fashion. it sucks. But at the very least I have to get caught up on my journal because I am over 5 days behind.. and most likely I'll have to turn in mine on Monday.. so guess who has to get caught up in one day?? MEEEE. My hand is so going to hate me by the end of tomorrow.
So I guess you may want to hear about my ten day excursion around England. And although like I said before I was reading all day so therefore I never uploaded pictures, I took loads of them. over 400 to be more precise. My favorite place was Stratford-Upon-Avon.. which is funny because we had already been there and I didnt think i liked it all that much but I really did. And then Liverpool was kind of just pathetic. It was dirty. and not being a huge Beatles fan I really had nothing to do there. But it was a nice reading day. We went to Chester.. which was kind of boring. and by kind of I actually mean really really was. Bath was interesting. We went on this tour and saw Stonehenge (aka Big rocks. which were way cool.. and would have been cooler if we didnt have to listen to this dumb audio guide that totally took away form the mysteriousness of the entire place.. because you know how people always say things like Aliens put it together or some other weird phenomenon happened? Well this audio guide explained verbatim how it was all done and where all the stones came from and so on. So I was just very confused.. but anyway) and then we visited these two small towns.. one named Lacock.. where a whole bunch of different movies were filmed.. including but not limited to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Totally took a picture of Slughorns house!!!! AHHHH) and then the next city was where Stardust was partly filmed.. and I took a picture down the road where Tristan ran down. It was all so amazing. and beyond Beautiful.
We also got to see three movies. Eat, Pray Love (which I didn't particularly care for. It wasn't bad but I'm certainly glad I didn't pay for it), The Town (which was SOOOO good. and I am glad Ben Affleck is finally acting again), and today we saw Made in Dagenham (a British movie about equal pay for women back in the 1960's. It was good. In between the other two I think if I had to rate them).
Okay so I know that was a very very quick over view and I didnt even mention the new place we are staying at which is the Highbury center. But I have a little over a month and a half to do all that. I have yet to unpack though.. so consider that your first introduction to my new residential living area. woo. Off to bed as per my usual. Until Next Time!! :D
