Well, it’s been a while since I last blogged, but dang have I been busy. Let’s start with the bad news:
Looks like I won’t get to go to that Army banquet after all. After three days of “umm, dunno” we finally found out that the event is a Dinings In, which means no-women-allowed. It’s only for officers and men, which I think is awfully rude, but oh well. At least that means I can quit stressing about the dress. I was really worried about it not fitting right.
Good news: I got my hair cut today and guess what? It’s straight!!! The beautician asked if I’d want to try it for a laugh, so I said sure. (No worries, it’s not permanent.) Thirty-five minutes of tugging and blow-drying later, I have a straight head of hair. It looks very different. I took loads of pictures, I just haven’t transferred them off the digital camera yet.
I’m excited about this trip to England, I’m just not sure I’m going to get everything done in time. I have a portfolio to prepare, I still have to pack, and egads. I’m just not sure. I hope it works out, but I really should get some sleep before I keel over.
Hmm, what else have I neglected to mention. I saw Ocean’s Eleven a few nights ago. Fun movie – nothing serious, mind you, but it was rather pretty and well done. I absolutely love the camera shot from the back of Brad Pitt’s car. That was amazing. And the whole Chopin bit at the end. Mmm, cinematography… Haha, you thought when I said “rather pretty” that I was talking about Brad Pitt, didn’t you? Naaah. Not my type. 🙂
What else. Things and plans for London are going well for once I’m actually there, if I can get everything done. Dinner at Alastair’s on Sunday, which will be loads of fun. Star Wars at the Odeon in Leicester Square. Pizza on Gloucester Road. The British Museum, Sunday with my friend Matthew (the next sunday), and everything’s set up for a visit to Courtauld. I’m a happy duckie, now I just need sleep.
Oh! And the hotel’s all booked too. Guess where I’m staying. I get to go back to the same place I was in before! I’m rather happy about that – this time I’d better remember to take pictures! 🙂
Okay, enough talk, time for a decisive moment. I’m going to bed. Good night.
