The clouds.

I've noticed the clouds here. They are huge and magical. I see them everywhere... through the sky lights at work, through the window in my bedroom and also through the skylight in the shower. They are breathtaking. They are fast and ever changing. I think the reason that I notice them so much is because they are so much lower than they are back in Canada. They are just so rich with rapid changes I could sit at watch them for hours. I've never had such a vivid interest in them... perhaps it's due to the fact that I am actively absorbing all the new site sounds and as unfortunate as they may be... smells.

Today is Friday and I spend last night out drinking with Dan. She's lovely and a hell of a good time too. Jo was traumatized that I was going out with her best mate while she had to work. She's so cute! Went to some girlie bars and had lots of laughs and too much lager. She's suffering today... strangely I have managed to pull out of it without a scratch!

Jo's sister is in town this weekend. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and my only other plans are to take some photos of my new surroundings! I keep promising to do so I must follow through this weekend.

Going to write another article for mutationspotting... they've dropped a line requesting more submissions... There are just so many things I could write about around here... should be fun.

Speachless

Nothing much to say really. Sitting on the eve of a possible war, shakes everything around you to it's foundation. It's just un-imaginable. I never thought I would actually live to see something like this happen.

Looks like Afganistan will pay the bill for this as the mad man responsible is hiding out there... On a minor good note, if they bomb Afganistan it may help liberate some of the poor women there who are but slaves to their husbands... The women who can't leave their houses, and can't show their skin... Not at all a solution, but maybe the attention could bring about some good.

I don't know what to say. I think I'll just digest this a bit and try and come up with something intelligent.

Uber fast blog?

I'm in the thick of Monday morning business... thought I would get a wee blog in because it's been soo long!

Had a great weekend, got a bed on Friday night. Got it delivered then too. It's a double and it cost 140£ imagine! Anyhoo it's nice to finally be sleeping in my own room! Had some beer and Pizza with Hanna on Friday night. It was quite fun. Then headed downtown to meet up with Dan. She is so fucking hilarious. "looking for Tottie!" she announced... meaning talent or a good looking lady. LOL What a riot. Jo joined us after she returned from The Sound of Music Sing Along. We went to the Candy Bar and subsequently drank loads of Vodkas and cokes... Outside the chip shop Dan gave me a snog... she then told me that she had met her match! LOL she's too cute. All the girls came back to ours, we had a massive girlie sleepover. In the morning we all sat round on the patio outside and drank tea and ate marmite on toast! I love it... It's so funny to be in a place where everyone eats marmite... I am no longer the outcast! LOL

Saturday morning I spoke with my mum.... She's doing well. It was nice to hear her voice, it was quite comforting! Then I headed off to Barbara and Steel's to collect my things. I managed to buy a mobile phone while I was in Richmond. It's so cute! It's my first one... quite a necessity here really... especially when you're so prone to getting lost like I am! Brought everything with me back to my flat except my tennis racket. I'll have to get that when they get back from their holiday to Canada.

Watched Existenze on Saturday night... David Lynch is really really strange! Not a bad movie but not one I would recommend unless you're looking for a good mindfuck. Went to bed early... slept like a baby...

Sunday morning I got up early and went for a jog. I can't even begin to imagine how I managed to lose my way. I'm such a goof! Regardless I managed to find the bagel shop while I was trying to find my way back home. Did some laundry in the aft. and went to the £store to get some hangars for my room and some other fun furnishing things. Went to the Oak bar with Jo, and her mates from the pub... It was a good laugh. Didn't stay too late as I wanted to be in good form for work this morning.

I had furious dreams last night. It was really tiring. I woke up this morning and felt all strange. Walked into the bathroom all to find that my piercing is starting to reject. What a pain... I was so close to just taking it out. I think I'm going to try and manage till the end of the week and then make the decision if it doesn't get any better. It's so disappointing... I love it... but there is nothing more that I can do about it. Hmmm.

Going out for drinks tonight with the staff to welcome all the new people. Should be fun. Looks like a liquid supper.

gulp.
