I made a new layout for my journal... hooray! It makes me happy.

Earlier I found a missing thumbtack in a chocolate chip, in a chocolate chip cookie, in a package of cookie that had been sitting on my desk.
Interestingly, it was in the second cookie in the package, not the first one I pulled out.

London was really good. I officially like that city.
Recap.

The concert:
- We missed the first band.
- Does It Offend You, Yeah? were pretty good.
- Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong were really good.
- The Cribs were decent (that's how Tom described them, I think it fits).
- Johnny Marr of The Smiths played with The Cribs, and seeing him in real life was pretty freaking awesome.
- It was pretty sweet to be at an indie concert in London, just because I've always wanted to go to such gigs. Good stuff.

The rest of the time:
- Sir John Soane's Museum rocked my world.
- The activities organized by my study abroad program were pretty fun, and the food was good.
- The National Portrait Gallery was sweet.
- Hyde Park is nice.
- London is just pretty cool.
- I had retail adventures in a very crowded, very cheap store and bought: A really cheap, cute shirt and a really complicated necklace with lots and lots of stars on it.
- I also bought: A Leafcutter John album and Bishi's debut. The Leafcutter John is really good, I've not listened to the Bishi yet. A few postcards and a book at the Soane museum. A few postcards and a poster of the Kings and Queens of England (family tree and some portraits... exciting!) at the National Portrait Gallery.

Wheeeeeooooo Brothers of the Head obsession is still at full swing.



AND! New moodtheme. Patrick Wolf! JOY. rosadiluculi rocks.



I want the we-wo-wo noise in the background around 5 minutes into Pulp's "Sheffield: Sex City" to be the ringtone on my cellphone. Just so you know.

I spent a large amount of my day today making a layout for my journal. And it is really f'in spiffy. So I advise all to check it out. I'm still tweaking a bit, but it's done, for all intents and purposes. As it's my first layout made in S2, I'm quite pleased. Because it is pretttyyyyyyy.

What else did I achieve today, you ask?
I got my teeth cleaned (mmmmm, cleanliness). I sat at the passport office for a long time, to no avail. I had dinner out with my mom, my uncle, and my two ickle cousins (ahhhh good food). Oh, and I got dressed (two days in a row not spent totally in PJs!). Oddly, my outfit matched my new layout: black and blue and a bit shineh.




P.S. The "Rafflesiaceae" referenced in my subject line are flowers that smell like rotten meat. So, yes, BBC News, they do possess some "unusual features." The New York Times excels at snark; the BBC, at understatement. The headline of this article gives me joy: "Family found for gigantic flowers". Awww! Also the flowers' rootlessness, leaflessness and stemlessness are apparently their unusual features - not their scent.

Yay!



Errr...
Lack of updating... sorry. I'm not working anymore, so I'm not staring into space thinking of things to write in this journal quite as much.
Life is boring without being boring at all right now. That's really all I have to say. It makes no sense, but it kinda sums it up, I suppose.

I have to go unpack my college stuff. Which is, yes, still in boxes in my room, though two months have passed.
