* duckgirlie  visited me with one of her friends and we went for drinks at the Pear Tree and chatted about lots of silly, interesting and random things. Then duckgirlie and I went off to the Brass Monkey (coolest pub in Edinburgh) where we chatted about fandom, Dan Savage, pundit musicals, the misogyny in Sex & the City and many other cool things. I got to hear her ( Read more... )

A bunch of stuff, exciting and otherwise, has happened this week so I thought I'd dump it all into one LJ post for my convenience.

On Tuesday I went through to Edinburgh for the day to meet up with Nat and a bunch of people from the same net forum I met him on for the official Scottish meet up. I was expecting it to be a horribly awkward affair that ( Read more... )

Rufus Wainwright was AMAZING! (Sorry this is so late but between continuous exam revision and napping I have been exhausted and unable to update without wanting to hit the keyboard in frustration.) It was completely different from the concert I saw in 2007. That affair was much more lavish, with lots of instruments, effects, dancing, Judy Garland ( Read more... )

I actually have no idea what the title of the song is but it played at the beginning of this podcast I listen to and I've been humming it all freaking day.

Revision sucks like a Bangkok prostitute. I just can't get into the proper mindset for it and keep getting distracted by dinner dates with friends which have included the American diner in Dundee (Pam got to use her sat-nav and we blasted really crap music all the way there, complete with Daz in the back singing along) and chips in Dunkeld (any ( Read more... )

I woke up to the lovely surprise of snow! Real snow! The proper slippery, beautiful and picturesque stuff. It looked stunning but wasn't the easiest thing to walk in. So bang went my plan to walk to uni, I even managed to wake myself up early enough to walk there in time. So I just jumped on the bus and got there early enough to eat some biscuits ( Read more... )

Put your ipod on shuffle and take the first line of the first 20 songs that come up and make a song.

Well you can bump and grind
There's a fog in L.A.
Honey I'm a rover, concrete clover
Do I love you because you treat me so indifferently?

Under pressure, pushing down on me
Who will be at Sansoucci tonight?
Wandering properties of death

Thought I'd share my tidbit of fun from yesterday with you all. I met up with my friend Dara so we could have a chat and a coffee (although I ended up getting lemon and lime water that cost £1.80, thank you very much Waterstones!) Before that though, we walked through South Bridge and came towards the Scientology centre. I was so freaked out when I ( Read more... )
