So, it's been a bit since I've updated.  Suffice it to say, Sarah got here in one piece.

Nothing happened Friday.

Sarah came in on Saturday night, we went straight off to the pub where there a few of "the boys."  Golds ended up getting into a fight, as per usual.  I drank a little too much and then we talked about QI and Stephen Fry for a few hours ( Read more... )

I went to Harlow with Colin today.  I had to buy a birthday card for Carol.  I just can't get over how much damn candy is in this country.  It doesn't matter what shop you're in, there's at least one or two aisles stuffed with candy and it's all stuff I can't get at home.  It's like living in Willy Wonka's factory or something.  Terribly bad for ( Read more... )

The best site on the internet is, contrary to popular opinion, not The Best Page in the Universe.  It is, however, ChurchSignGenerator.com.  It's right up there with Engrish.com and MTTS.com as far I'm concerned.  And why is this the case?  See below.

I did fuck all on Saturday, but yesterday, well, that's a horse of a different color.

To start with, I had an absolutely massive migraine headache all night on Saturday and subsequently only got about 2 hours of sleep.  I had to get up at 8 to help Margaret with the cooking for the party at The Archers after the christening.  When I say help, I mean ( Read more... )

I went to the National Maritime Museum today.  Pretty fucking cool, if you ask me.  There was a whole gallery devoted to Nelson, some amazing stuff in there.  They had the uniform he was wearing at the Battle of Trafalgar when he died.  The breeches have blood all over them and are cut open in the front from when they were taken off.  There's also ( Read more... )

Got a little more work done today, but not much at all.  I spent most of the day either on my computer or watching the Twenty20 cricket matches.  Can you believe Australia lost to Zimbabwe?  They're the world champions!  And Bangladesh beat the West Indies today.  England's beaten Zimbabwe, though, as was expected.  I have a feeling there are going ( Read more... )

I went down to London today, luckily the tube strike had been suspended the night before.  Not all the lines were running, but everything I needed was OK.

I met Evelyn at Liverpool St. and we took a bus to Westminster Abbey.  It's...old.  Very old.  I saw the tombs of Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots.  I'd post pictures, but you aren't allowed to ( Read more... )

I can't believe I've been here for nearly 3 weeks already.

Yesterday was my birthday, the big and wholly unimportant 23rd.  Ryland and I went down to The Archers, big surprise there.  Holly and Ivan came along as well.  I had fun.  After spending about an hour and half sobbing for absolutely no reason, it was a great relief to get out of the house ( Read more... )

So, like, OMG, just got back from Phantom.  Can I say that Ramin Karimloo is one of the greatest ever?  No, I'm serious.  I thought I was going to be seeing Earl and I was slightly disappointed to see that Ramin was on, but holy shit was I ever wrong.

I have to say that while I still prefer my lovely tour cast, the level of acting in this cast is ( Read more... )

I had this entire post done and lost it all.

I did absolutely nothing yesterday.  The most energy I expended all day was going downstairs to eat dinner (Shepherd's Pie, yum).  I also looked at what was playing in the West End.  I found a play called The Last Confession that I absolutely must go to.  It closes on September 15th, so I think I'm going ( Read more... )
