The FOOnal Countdown

There are 3 more sleeps until foo fighters and i am just so terribly excited - Yay! Today has been a really good day (apart from when a drunk guy tried to hug me in the Underground - wasn't so much in the hobo outreach sort of mood) i found an awesome pair of cowboy boots (yay) and had a really nice sandwhich from Marks and Sparks - plus i got a whole lot of work done this morning so that means that i will probably get to go home a little earlier. Tonight the family (ah sweet) are going to see the Chronicles of Narnia - and i don't care what anyone says - I am super excited! Gotta love CS Lewis and his ability to make up a story that starts in the cupboard! Everyone is seeing this psuedo Christian imagery and i get it (hello Aslan the christ figure what with dying for Ed and then getting resurrected - kinda creepy) But i think it may have a whole other level...all these people stepping out of the CLOSET - a boy beguiled by the furs and jewels of the white witch?? Me thinks i see a gay morality tale!!! Not really, but i am just preparing the world from the sort of ranting that is probably as i speak/type forming on the lips of the rabiddly politically correct in this country and all the other demented Western ones!
But back to the real world - i still have not started that phone job which means that finances over xmas may not be as smashing as i hoped! Money is no problem as long as you have some of it hey?
So now i sit here with very little to do other than write this crap that no-one really reads but just gets lost in the great vault of text contained within the imaginary world of the internet. What a sad little life! But at least its better than playing hours of solitaire (pecker) mindlessly - here i am adding to an ever growing body of useless information - for which i should be thankful because if it wasn't for completely useless information, most of the time i wouldn't have anything to say. Its quite disconcerting how little useful information i know. I am reading a book now called "Life of Pi" about this young boy who ends up shipwrecked in a boat with a Royal Bengal Tiger, and i have been thinking that i know none of the common sensical things that might help me in such a situation (minus the tiger of course cause that ain't gonna happen twice) - like lighting a fire, fishing, weighting a rod (no not that type of rod!!), when something is poisonous etc etc etc So when someone next asks you who you want to be stuck on an island with - when i am your obvious choice because of the hours of useless information (haha) think again and ask Anita if you can borrow Willem should the need arise!

Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine...La La La

Hello my lovelies. I am here in the UK and so happy to be back with my good old family but missing you all like crazy (Grahamstown is a true testament to Absence making the heart grow fonder huh?) am so miserable that i have had to miss Carin and Nikki's Birfdays - Happy birfday for yesterday my Carin child! It is so much easier to be Christmasy over here probably because of the weather. I took this picture last night we went into london and saw all the little twinkly lights up on Oxford Street. The bus is a number 159 and those types of busses are about to become a part of the past as they are stopping running on Friday (tomorrow) - they were awesome because you could jump on and off them at the back if they came to a stop at traffic lights or something - its sad. We also went to see the big Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square - Every year it comes as a gift from the people of Norway as a thank you for British support in World War 2. We have decorated the house and been Christmas shopping and i am listening to White Christmas as we speak.
I have gotten my little unemployed ass a job now - i guess its pretty different from what i would have thought i would be doing but it certainly will be a challenge and a new experience. The lady i am working for has cerebal palsy and i work as her support worker in order to do her typing and take notes for her in meetings etc. I work for pretty good money twice a week, and am going to be working at a call centre (ZZZ) the other days with a whole bunch of low class dog types - but what the hell hey - its money!!
Exciting News: Woo hoo the other day Jude Law walked right past me on the street - he had just come out of a first nite in one of the theatres near Leicester Square. Oh and Rory seems to have found himself a girlfriend - Shes a blonde, German girl called Tina but he won't let any of us meet her yet - apparently families are particularly embarrasing to 19 year old boy - but he seems pretty love struck and even finds the German accent sexy (Bleuch!) So who knows??? Other wise - there are many many hot men around here but i have a sneaking suspicion that many of them are gay (or worse - Greek!) So i just have to wait until the 16th when i go to see the foo fighters and Dave Grohl falls in love with me :) And then i will be rich and famous and you will all have to book appointments to see me!
