It is 1:17 Am. I have two classes tomorrow and i still havent done the reading for either. wonderful. I am still a master of procrastination.
I watched the Obama Innaguration today at the student union. I am missing such big parts of american history. I guess I watched it on tv like everyone else so its more or less the same thing. Actually the Goldsmiths students were really excited about the innaguration and tons of them showed up to watch it. It reminded me of when I was in Prague for the Election and only one bar was showing the election coverage and it was all full of Americans. I feel like an EX-Pat. For once i feel excited for the future of the US. My dad told me that when I first came to the airport in Ireland even before we landed in the US i said- Look there is lots of really nice toys here so we must be in America. This is pretty much still my idea of freedom.
nice stuff= freedom/liberty/justice
Next day--
So yesterday I went to pound a pint- why do i go its never a good idea. i just drink cider and feel full and boozey. Also Americans do not understand the concept of cider. It is in fact an alcoholic drink. not martinellis sparkling cider. There are in England many varieties of Cider as there is beer. Cider is stronger than Beer and tastes like sour apples not in a candy way. There is also white cider-which is even stronger and tastes basically like wine but is sold in 2 liter bottles and makes me vomit. Also one of the varieties of it is called Diamond White- named after a stripper im guessing.
But cider can also be made with pears. Here at Goldsmiths we have the tradition of Strongbow cider with Blackcurrent syrup in it. This mixture makes for a bright red drink that tastes like yummy candies and gets you fucked off your ass if taken in quickly enough. causes hiccups though. Mat seemed to really enjoy it when he was here. Girls who cant handle the taste of alcohol often drink this beverage. Mat CAN handle his booze so it doesnt apply to him.
Right okay so I met this girl named Christina who is Asian!! whoa weird coincidence. but she goes to Berkely for politics so i think the similiarities stop about there. except she likes to drink actually. I was going somewhere with this....cant remember.
I also really like British desserts its all pudding and mouse and whip cream with cake layered together. that is basically my idea of the best yumster ever!! everything pilled together!!!
oh right- so what I miss the most from the US- or rather the west coast.
PABST!!!!! what the fuck i miss that shit so much!!! I learned that amstel was the founder of pabst. coool.. but i have been drinking Stella a lot-i reallylike it. Also its stronger. I am thinking about going to Dublin- where i am determined to enjoy Guinness so far i think it tastes like moldy bread.
And MEXICAN FOOD!! I miss shitty= good mexican food soooo much. Taco Bell does not exist here. Mexicans do not exist here. I think I already mentioned this in another blog but my craving has yet to be satiated.
I expect burritos and pabst when i get back.
cheesy fiesta. maybe its better this way so my clothes dont have greasy bean stains on them that look like a pile of shit landed on me which inevitably happens when i eat burritos. the burritos poop on me!
Also I watched the film Eraserhead. I like David Lynch but everytime I see one of his films all I can think is -what the fuck dude??!!- like what is going on. why does the baby have to some freakish monster thing. parenting is hard enough in a gloomy world. If any of you are interested in being confused and perhaps uncomfortable i recommend:
Blue Velvet
Twin Peaks-Fire walk with me
Mullholland Drive
and finally.... Eraserhead
unless your James and your a sick fuck so you watch blue velvet like its your job. I used to recommend movies to my mom that James had told me about and she was under the impression that james only liked films about pedophilia. hahahahahahahahah.He was still welcome in our house. I could go on with more rascist comments but i will just stop now.
Well thats pretty much my life for now. Its wednesday afternoon and my weekend has officially begun. I am innagurating my weekend with a proper nap time.
I miss everyone!! EVERYONE!!
