where were you on Friday night???

had a good weekend. got so ruined at Unpop on Friday and then ended up at an afterparty with a lot of buckfast and eventually got home at 7:30am after a long walk and urrrggghhhhh

TODAY I have to finish an essay, hand it in and then get a train to London at 5:30pm. I'm there all week for a field trip, I think we're mostly just getting talks from boring real estate investment people. I'm mostly going so I can see the girlfriend.

- Oh yeah
  
  I couldnt find it! I didnt have my phone as I dont take it out because of the threat of DRUNK TEXTS. Shame to have missed it if buckfast was going to be there...
  Is real estate a real thing? I think its American...

    yeah, they'd closed the entrance on Lauriston Place for some reason, you had to go in on one of the side streets. shame, it was properly fun.
    
    the term is definitely used over here (my university offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Real Estate Management), but it seems to have different uses, mostly tends to be used for large commercial projects here and then you have things like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REIT#United_Kingdom. in the US it's used to refer to just about everything though and they call estate agents "realtors" which is a really ugly word.

won the local Scream pub quiz last night

tonight is the ANNUAL SCIENCE QUIZ which, last year, my team won. my old friend who doesn't even go here anymore is getting the train in just to defend our honour.

QUIZZES

      I've never understood why you'd take your kids there. Its just depressing. Although I knew a couple of girls who worked there and they said people were more polite than in regular bars/clubs. Weird huh?

Enjoyable weekend

Friday went to the pub, had delicious pizza and failed to spot that asteroid.

Saturday, nice long walk out to a tea garden thing that's coincidentally next door to Jeffrey Archer's house. Made jambalaya. Ate jambalaya. Went to new brewhouse place that was a bit too trendy for me.

Sunday, slept in, made a roast (pork, thanks for asking) and bread and butter pudding, won the pub quiz.

Fuck off Monday.

Decent weekend thanks

Was working Friday night so that was a write-off. Saturday I cleaned my flat to an immaculate standard then went for dinner and drinks with a couple of friends. Yesterday I bought Rayman Origins (which is great) saw Lincoln (which is great) and watched Casablanca again (which is great). Also made date plans on Friday and have next week off work so got something to look forward to.

    and i still didn't get service in the house. it took five phone calls and around four hours over three days for us to realise that my house actually isn't connected to the BT network and hasn't been for 10 years plus. so that's not good. cancelled the home move, the servcies are cancelling this week, and virgin are installing on thursday.

        YEAH
        
        as i said in the previous thread a few weeks ago i was going with BT because we already had service with them, no other reason. if i'd known that i couldn't get them i'd have gone with virgin in heartbeat. actually, no idea why i didn't just do that in the first place.
        
        here's the thing; bt internet speed was going to be 1.5Mb to 4Mb. Virgin's will likely be 28Mb. :D

Alright?

Things of note I did this weekend:

Put a shitload of comics on my Nexus 10. Saw Adam Buxton again. I love that man. Make Chinese steamed dumplings. They turned out really well. Sang Ocean Drive at the top of the 341. That was probably my highlight.

This week: not much, bit of pubbing planned. Planning a trip to Germany including Melt Festival for July, possibly.

I am so broken after this weekend

Went to a lovely Polish restaurant for our Polish friends 30th. Drank far too much near vodka.

Then went for a brief brunch (as I was an hour late - uh oh) and then drove down to Bournemouth for another friends 30th. Went for a walk on the beach with everyone yesterday. It was lovely.

I need sleep.

Went to a country house hotel in Bedfordshire on Saturday.

And had dinner (osso bucco) at an amazing Michelin listed gastro pub. Was great, but these things are so fucking difficult without your own car - cabs in the countryside are a killer. But did some good woodland walking and saw some ENORMOUS buildings in the distance - worked out afterwards they were the Cardington Hangers, the former Royal Airship Works (AIRSHIPS!) and are now used for filming things like The Dark Knight and Inception.

Wot I did:

Friday night watched Lincoln at the cinema for a (second) date. Didn't enjoy the film but enjoyed the company of the date, still not sure if I really want to carry on seeing her though.

Saturday morning I cycled for 30 miles and had a shit night out cos all my friends were just looking at their phones in the pub all night and there was no group cohesion. Everyone was in their own little world or trying to make others see their shite favourite Youtube videos. Was rubbish. I'm seriously considering calling them all out cos I find it depressing and hate going out when it's like that.

Sunday was another (shorter) bike ride and then gym. The girl asked if I fancied takeaway and a film this Wednesday, then after I said yeah she said her flatmates will be in so can we use my place instead. My flatmates will be in too. Sort of assumed it would be at hers, as she suggested it. Hmmph.

- the phone thing is getting on my nerves too (and i'm prob just as guilty of it too tbh)
  
  The amount of times you look around a pub or restaurant and everyone is glued to their smartphones or tablets in eerie silence is crazy now.
  
  I quite like the idea that when you go to dinner with your friends you all stack your phones in the middle of the table; then the first person who looks at their phone has to pick up the bill.

      - we were
        
        The nightstaff loved me and craigfoley so much that they didn't charge us for our nightcaps and the girl came up to our room to pass me a note (it had her personal wifi password on it).

Lovely chilled weekend.

Considering my fragile state on Friday, it was needed.
Brunch with lovely ladies on Saturday, followed by a boozy trip to the cinema. I love red wine in coffee cups to spice up a film.

Sunday relaxed and ate left over chewy sweets.

ill but got bored and was twee beyond belief. Vintage fair and earl grey tea and cupcakes.

Vomit.

By the way 500 Days of Summer is a massive shit film and it wasted 1 and a half hours of my life that I will never regain.

  Has the twee lifestyle sucked you into its warm knittted embrace?

  - No!
    
    £7 for a cup of tea and a cupcake?! I can get a whole meal and beer for that in Wetherspoons!
    
    I did, however buy a lovely electric blue 1960s mod dress and haggled it for a tenner which was nice.
    
    How are you duckling?

- Why his this Harlem Shake nonsense taken off all of a sudden?
  
  Actually quite like the song in all it's obnoxious glory, but it came out nearly a year ago. Why so popular now?

the person who has the desk behind me hardly ever comes into the office

but every time she does she arrives just as I'm planning on leaving for one reason or another. She probably thinks I hate her.
