Holler to scholarly

This post is a long time coming........I think I will have to write more often....
me so lazy.

Ok, its evening time in London town as I write this...the sun has dipped behind the veil of darkness that masks the muggy London skies....and I am sitting here, trying to type frustratingly on a wireless keyboard. I say frustratingly because it keeps cutting out mid typing stroke.

Now you'd think that a wireless keyboard and mouse would have a reliable power source....not double A battteries! What happens if you were in the middle of an all important essay/email and the batteries ran out and you had none spare? Well you would be royally fudged.

Interesting how Microsoft (the manufacturers) didn't take that into account. Would it have been beyond 21st century technology to add a recharging dock?
I guess so. One can only dream of such utopian advances.

Anyway, in the last week I've been all over London, taking a friend, Neda, around town for 5 days and hanging with Manijeh and Vince.

Here are some of the highlights:

1.Neda being her hyperself

2.4-Way, no holds barred Mallet's Mallet. Neda Vs Ronnie Vs Manijeh Vs Vince

3. Rowing in the Serpentine (technically it was Vince and I pedalling in a pedalo while the 'ladies' sat in the front, enjoying the ride. good thigh work out)

4. Playing awesome games from Giant Chess to various card games to lose the Mobile in a shady Indian restaurants.

6. Nightbus

7.Shopping with Neda.

8. Greenwich Park



9. Seeing David Schwimmer in a Thai restaurant in Soho.

The day after that, I went to Margate and had a BLAST with Simone and Hannah (oh and shoutout to Tally).....my Kent homegirls keeping it on lockdown.



Highlights:

1.Cards-being beaten an obscene amount of times by Hannah at my forte; 'Cheat/Bluff', using her Freudian-next level-quadruple bluff trickery.

2.Playing Sh*t Head, my other forte, and being the Sh*t Head....TWICE

3.Going out to Dinner with the Margate posse, courtesy of Han's v.generous dad and having a crack up with Tally (Han's sis), esp. at a certain naughty girl with her b/f's parents.

4.Sitting near ONE of the BLONDE TWINS from FUNHOUSE

5.A transgender PAT SHARP sighting (unconfirmed)

6.Baha'i auction-all i can say about that is 'TEE' and her Mini Disc RE-JECTION as well as 'photoshoot.'

7.Greenwich park again-playing cards with Mujdeh & Simone and Hannah
and developing an Enigma-esque code with Hannah for the card game SPONGE aka Square

8.Simone's humour and her hospitality!

9.The sea, the beach and the locals (pikies-you gotta love em).
