so aside from the good, yet tough to watch “Fahrenheit 9/11″, this weekend was pretty decent, if not overly exciting.
friday night we went of for a few drinks locally. not much to relate there – the same tarted up girls trying to pull, the same shallow and dentally challenged boys, trying to pick the best-looking of the bunch on display (no easy feat, mind you). you just look at them and know they wake up tomorrow morning with a sore head, smeared makeup, and have to do the walk of shame home in the same slutty outfit they wore the evening before, only in the harsh glare of daylight.
saturday morning started out bright enough, and inspired us to go explore the “little venice” section of london. but by the time we were ready to leave, it was already pissing rain (again) and chilly, so we headed to the museum of natural history, where I drove j to distraction with my flea-like attention span and refusal to view anything in an orderly fashion. the dinosaur exhibit was pretty cool. as were the gemstones and meteorites, though i think j was just being a good sport, pretending to humour my excitement at yet another collection of rocks. the blue whale was huge, as was the giant sequoia display. and sadly, i was unable to keep my little computerised runner alive in the human biology exhibit, as I kept forgetting to make him breathe…
afterwards, we had some japanese for dinner, and went to see the movie in wandsworth (see previous blog entry).
sunday was still dreary. we watched movies and played some squash (i lost, 11-5, but mostly because i still can’t serve properly) and i made eggplant (pardon, *aubergine*) with lamb al forno for dinner. then j gave me my first guitar lesson (that f chord is a bitch) and i struggled over the basic finger formations, but am determined to learn.
and that, in a tidy nutshell, is how I frittered away the weekend. aren’t you glad you asked?
