sciffy
So I saw Anne tonight... I was a little depressed the last few days for various reasons (including the bloody essay I am trying to do), and partly because it seemed like she wasn't all that interested, etc. etc. blah blah. She still may not be, but she called anyways and came over for a bit. We had tea (she gave me tea! this girl found the way to my heart without even realizing).
Anyway, I have a theory, be it true or not it is how I will look at things from now on. I suspect that girls quote a time like 'see you in a half hour' and come early as a test, to see how quickly a guy can get his shit together. I was lounging around in bed, probably drooling half awake on my pillow when I got the phone call. I don't think I've ever cleaned my room, showered, shaved, and gotten dressed as quickly in my life...
I treated myself to a $9 meal tonight -- lamb kabob with chips. I was hungry and I was in a hurry, so this made sense. Damn food is so expensive here. But I am getting more and more out of the frame of mind of converting to dollars -- honestly, if I spent only 5 pounds a day on food (currently I try to spend 20 every two weeks on groceries, and that's it... I really restrict myself) then it'd be a cheap 6 months. I need to treat myself more often.
I headed over to Sciffy -- the Edinburgh University Science Fiction and Fantasy Society. That's right, the UK equivalent of Games House. Actually, they aren't, as I figured (each week, they meet in a pub and drink for their official meetings, 'nuff said). We drank and watched The Black Adder, and I understood every joke in it with reference to the different English kings, archbishops of Canterbury killings, etc... it was embarassing and fantastic. I have so many mixed feelings about my Celtic civilization course...
Then we watched a horrible movie called Phantom of the Paradise... don't ask. Ever. Don't even look it up on IMDB. That bad.
Then, the advertized movie: Aliens. I've managed to become quite the comedian, apparently. I worked a brilliant 'mom' joke into the movie and had everyone in stiches for a few minutes :) Anyway, I need to make use of the facilities, because I had quite a bit of lager tonight!
PS: I uploaded a picture of Anne, for those that need closure.
