la-dee-da

this weekend has been sort of blah, but a good kind of blah where you can relax for once and not have to "go go go" all the time, you know what i mean? socially, london rocks the casbah, but sometimes you just need a break!

met up with ms. journalist and frenchman on saturday; we were to go skating at the rink they set up at the natural history museum. we get there only to find that they're charging 10 pounds for an hour's worth of skating, and that you have to pre-book and all the tickets were sold out that day. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? TEN BLOODY POUNDS!!! what a rip off, and the sad part is that most (if not all) the rinks in london are that expensive. oh how i miss the free ice skating back home!

with skating shot to hell, we went to, of all places, the science museum. this was where i worked back in 2002/2003; it was surreal going back there to say the least, like walking back in time. ran into a couple of people i used to know, one of them a manager. thank god i didn't run into the one i REALLY REALLY hated, good old squerge. it's weird going back to a place that held such fond memories for me, but at the same time such bad ones.

ms. journalist had to go, so frenchman and i had coffee and cake at a cafe nearby. t joined us and then it was just t and i for dinner at the pizza express joint by my old flat in earl's court (ahhh, memories!). then it was home for me, where i watched the country music awards on tv (don't ask); i quite enjoyed texting evil hypnotist while the show was on - his girlfriend LOVES country and we were taking the piss out of all the artists, good times.

i might see the wallace and gromit film today, been meaning to see it again since the t.o. film festival. oh, and can i just say how excited i am that i'll be coming home to t.o. shortly?! only three weeks to go!
