Guy Fawkes we will make dummies of you to burn
So it's Guy Fawkes day (Remember remember the 5th of november, V for Vendetta anyone?) and there have been crazy amounts of fireworks and like canonballs going off for the past 2 days. On my way to work this morning I must have passed about 8 different piles of vomit from last night's festivities. it's crazeball.
I was really hoping to see like full on dummies of Mr. Fawkes hanging in trees and getting burned. It's such a creepy and almost barbaric thing to do, but I just love that weird medieval aspect that England still possesses. Don't F with Parliament, cause if you fail we'll make a National Holiday for you in which we mutilate fake dummies of your corpse. crazy.
So of course I'm updating because I'm procrastinating finishing a paper and so I always update when i'm trying to NOT write a paper, even for only 15 minutes. The paper is going suprisingly well, and seems to flow quite steadily, yet I'll check the word count and then I would have only added like 100 words ! not that much out of 3,000 right? So yeah, maybe my computer is playing bizarro tricks on me or something....who knows.
Went out for my friend Karolin's b-day on friday night and had a really good time at this Tapas restaurant / club in Fitzrovia. I had a good time, hung out with more people from my programme, and managed to not even spend that much money! Hooray! Getting my first paycheck from LUSH is going to be so glorious. Even if it's like 5 quid, that's still 10 dollars because stupid G.W.B. can't keep the f-ing economy together and everything's going to heck on the other side of the atlantic. well, kind of. But yeah, the rate is EXACTLY 2 to 1, which BLOWS. Like Blows. it has to go back down a little bit before January, because that's when my next installment of tuition needs to be paid. mammajamma.
So I'm a huge loser and already got tickets to see Equus with Daniel Radclifee and Richard Griffiths going up in the west end in Feb. The posters are up in some arty spaces and it looks so cool. It's like daniel radcliffe's front torso thing superimposed with a horse head. F-ing crazy. Plus apparently he's going to be neked. little harry potter will be naked on stage. That's just wrong. I don't even think he's 18. like I said, this country is all about stringing up dummies and prostituting their youth. what fun.
Other than school and generally NYU/LUSH related work stuff, everything is good. It's crazy how so Christmas-ed out everything is already though. Like lights up in the streets already, christmas shops already open and have been for weeks. I don't want the christmas music to start this early because I'll hate it by the time the actual date comes. GIVE IT A REST.
Alright that's all, more writing is necessary to finish this in a normal hour of the night.
P.S. Mark I clicked on the link in your profile and saw the Fight Club videos for the first time. Didn't really enjoy Steve beating the shit out of Dan Kelly (although Dan really did hold his own for a while). And man Mark D going absolutely sick on Ryan! I feel like I should have seen these videos forever ago and just never got around to it. I didn't see you and Mark, or what looked like you and Mark from the little still is showed, but I'll watch that next. promise. poker at x-mas? yes.
