(no subject)

last night was fun. drinks and dinner at the boudoir, which was a funky little place near barbican. the best part of the venue is that they have two rooms with giant beds (and mirrored ceilings above the beds.)

during dinner, i was sitting at one end of the table, facing the archway seperating the room we were eating in from one of the rooms with a bed, and just as the appetizers came, two drunken not overly young city suits, both male, jumped on the bed-one down on his hands and knees, the other behind him...you can tell where this is going. (i should point out both had their clothes on.) i started cracking up, which tipped off the rest of my end of the table. the two gentlemen in question turned an interesting shade of red when they realized they'd had an audience.
i got to wear my shiny silver strappy shoes (which sadly are probably about ready to be retired) and this dress i got on the saturday shopping trip in croydon to go with the shoes. ( (picture of the dress behind the cut.) )

while i still suspect there was no alochol involved in the alleged "long island ice tea" we had at the beginning, the food was tasty. (salmon, salad, and garlic bread for starter, pumpkin & sage soup, main course was your choice of turkey or beef, both in a very generous portion, served with potatoes, veg, and stuffing, and then christmas pudding for dessert.)

head like a balloon

it hurts us, precious!
i have been getting steadily worse all day. i blame the bike ride in this morning. should have taken the damn train, but i wanted to show i was not being a wuss and avoiding the weather. bah. i have gone through an insane amount of kleenex today. the skin around/under my nose is getting all irritated from it.

it is very, very bad, but i am thinking that my electric bill will have to go on the credit card. i'm close to crying about it, because i've been so good for so long (not counting saturday, but the dress was totally worth it) about not using the credit card. and the home office charge still hasn't gone on there yet...

not even attempting to go into uni tomorrow. need to remember to call the home office and lewisham council though. (need to find out what they need to verify i'm still a student and thus should not be paying council tax in january.)

speaking of calling, skype makes me a happy camper. talked to my dad AND maija and jörg tonight.

trying out itunes' video thing...downloaded an episode of law & order. (i'm cranky and feeling crappy and it's the tv equivalent of comfort food.) so i'm going to watch me some law & order and then i'm going to sleep and sleeping until i wake up in the morning. no alarm.
