it's pissing rain to the point that 'we should start building an ark' (j.j.) we're leaving for the tube in a couple of hours, so here's hoping it lightens up a bit. we (kelly & i) are going to amsterdam today. and by 'going' i mean that we arrive tomorrow sometime because we're taking a coach there. somehow we temporarily lost all memory of the horrors of the edinburgh coach journey back in december.

we'll save a load of money...

what were we thinking?

updates on the netherlands to come soon.

(don't worry mum&dad)

j. my condolences.

//blimey!

in a desparate attempt to procrastinate my university course selection, i decided to bake.

i made something like 3 dozen milk chocolate/cranberry cookies (still chewy) for the peeps at the music school.

i'm helping out with exams there again and they always put on a show.

the praise was rather amazing.

it's like they've never had homemade cookies before.

although i spose they haven't. the british with their biscuits and all.

// it's like being born, but in reverse...

so last night i had to kill sometime before calling and wishing my mum a

happy mother's day

and found myself infront of the VCR with a copy of casper.

casper, the friendly ghost, the friendliest ghost you know.

i now have a renewed love of devon sawa and christina ricci.

but especially devon sawa.

//famous for being famous.

this weekend we got a little treat - shelby & emma.

they came over to the big island from the little island to visit kelly (and me).

the flat was crowded and all i did was cook all weekend, but we really did have fun. caught up on the post-highschool antics and learned all the goss. apparently claremont grads have gone to hell since we left the country. it sounds like anarchy on the van isle.

saturday consisted of me making fajitas and giving shelby & emma a crash course on the first two seasons of veronica mars (since we forced them to watch the third).

on sunday we headed out bright and early for the church. we got there an hour early and we actaully turned away because it was beyond it's capacity.

-this is a first-

we figure that because monday was a bank holiday everyone decided that it would be good fun to go to the church and get faced with monday to recouperate.

i 'spose business folk have to party sometime.

instead we had the single greatest burger of my life at o'neill's (irish chain pub)

and partied it up at walkabout in shepard's bush (aussie bar).

ran into a couple guys i met the last time i was there and was deafened by bad rock music, but all in all had a great time.

yay salvaged sunday afternoon.

this is my official boycott of irish men in england.

here's to you jackass who peed on me.

yes.

pee.

while doing nothing other than ordering my drinks,

i was hit unsuspectingly by urine.

for that, i hope it falls off.
