Time Flies and Time Crawls

So it seems like when I’m enjoying myself the moment is over in a second and when I’m bored to tears, the time couldn’t drag on any slower. I guess that’s life right. This weekend was exactly that, a mix of downtime and highlights.

Bomo and myself met Mark at the fountain at Piccadilly Circus promptly at 8:30, then ventured across the street to Burger King to catch a cheap ($8 is cheap now…) meal before we met up with the rest of the group. An eternity passed by, so we ventured down the street and enjoyed a round of Fosters. Mark and I reminisced while Bomo sat there bored to tears -- he can’t complain, I bought him his drink.

Still more time passed by and we were quickly growing impatient…Bomo’s attempt to flirt with the foreign girls and Mark’s moaning helped to kill time. But before you know it, up stagger the rest of the group, with a new addition, Veronica, the girl who lives next to Alissa and Megan. She meshed rather well and is certainly welcome to tag along again.

After some drunk picture taking, we began our journey through Soho, only to loose Alissa and Mark after we crossed the first street. While the group waited on the corner, I went back looking for them and found no one familiar except for the annoying vendors passing out flyers and the homeless guy asking for money.

It was apparent we had lost them, so we shoved ahead, hoping in their drunken stupor they would end up at the same place. By some unknown force of the universe, we turned the corner of the street, began walking down it, and I noticed the bare back of a girl who had long, flowing black hair and a very distinguishable butt. Somehow, a vendor had distracted Alissa and Mark and that was the reason for our separation. Luck was on our side again as we ran into a club promoter who gave us flyers for free entrance. A great value, we were all planning on shelling out $20 to get in.

I thought the club was fun, some of the others weren’t so amused, but you only live once and have to make the most out of every moment right? We left after some drinks and cigarettes…yes I smoked a cigarette, I don’t know what I was thinking, but it won’t happen again, don’t worry. The group had the munchies so we stopped on our way back to Chelsea.

The next day I spent on my own time. Sleeping in and being lazy felt good. Later in the afternoon, I took a walk to Kensington Gardens and wrote some postcards. Don’t be offended if you don’t get one just yet, but it costs me like $1.50 to purchase and send each one so I’m doing them in increments. After that, I laid in the overgrown grass and read. The weather was gorgeous and continues to be so. Not as warm as I would like it, but it beats using that damn umbrella every day.

Alissa and I spent Sunday afternoon continuing our site seeing adventure. We went and visited St. Paul’s, the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and Covent Gardens. It may seem like a limited adventure, but it was time consuming and tiring – a lot of walking by both of us.

Yesterday began week two at my job, and I’m still up in arms at to whether I’m content or not. Right now I’m working on a logo for a film distributor. It’s pretty boring, I’m not going to lie, but I’m just hoping to get it over with as soon as possible so I can move on to bigger and better things.

While I was on my lunch break today, I stopped in the HMV, a store that sells movies and CD’s, similar to Sam Goodie. Seeing as today is a new release Tuesday, and I’m a Charmed freak, I went there looking to see the new box set for Season 5, which I knew was being released today back in the states. But to my surprise, Season 7 was out here! This made me thoroughly distraught - sometimes life isn’t fair. Had it not been for the $80 price tag and the fact that these DVD’s wouldn’t work in my DVD player back home, I would have snatched up the rest of the seasons. I guess I’ll just have to wait like the rest of America, although I'm hoping that the cover art for our version is much sexier.

I guess I’ll close with the fact that today is 6/6/06 and nothing bad has happened. Let’s hope it continues that way!
