That's That

The weekend has come to a wonderful end - viva Espania! If that means nothing to you, then youre clearly not from Europe (albiet it was the World Cup) - I was all for Holland (Netherlands) but Spain pulled it out of the bag during the last minutes. Apart from watching the finals in a blacked out bar (more like a nightclub with bad tv reception)
it was another gorgeous round up to a hot weekend in Laaandan.
If only we had weather like this for longer than a week at a time. Not all year round though - I love the winter weather here, Londons just as beautiful in the grey as it is in the gold - I like having Seasons (take note L.A)

Above is the envious image of my mates cool statement necklace...from NYC. Nothing is sweeter than having London admirer's ask you 'where did you get that?' only for your reply to be 'Ah, from a vintage market...in NU YOURKE'- Oh how we laughed.


After a lazy browse through the Spitalfields and Brick Lane Sunday Up Market, we headed to LEON for some Morrocan Meat Balls, flat bread and Ginger and Mint juice.
Spitalfields is such an inspiring place to be. We gossiped and people watched the whole time before making our way to the Avalon to catch the W.C final....happy days.

Scorcheoooo!

Sun Sun Suuuuuuun. 

London is scorchin'...finally. Its so nice having a Summer here. Longer days, smiling faces, cool clothes, no clothes...whatev's its gorgeous and it's the excuse i have for not posting on this blog. That and work. 

She entered the room like what had passed hadn't - this was because she went back in time

Ok so i have been a baaaaaaad girl. 

I have been outside enjoying the sun in London Town, playing with the girls (and boys ...yes) and trying to actually live this wonderful step up of a year that has proved itself again and again after my rant on the dire depressing 2009 state we were all left in.

REWIND

Since then I have set and reached personal goals

I have seen the departure of old friends, made some very good longer lasting ones methinks and I'm generally more happy and confident here and now. 

In other less selfish revelations - We here in GB have a new government - 

I'm not going to go on  i dislike the conservatives - and this coalition is hilarious!  however I am going to say that there is no light in the forseeable future for Britain  though it was long before the current government in power's fault that we're in this mess we have to really hit the bottom before we can rise again, but this great nation will no thanks to you David moon face Cameron urgh

In other news - we all became GLEEks - the high -LARIOUS musical highschool drama brought to television (ala singing detective et al)  what High school musical (ala every musical movie before 2000) brought back to the movie world - musical driven dialogue. 

It was (is) brilliant, ridiculous, emotive programming - something that stood out from the vampire ridden, sex driven, pill popping, gun toting dramas crowding the airwaves.

LOST finally got LOST and left our home boxes after 6 years! eeeeek

It rounded up  with what I thought was a satisfying and sad/happy end. Having started off as an avid fan when the show was on terrestial (not limited to the SKY viewer urgh) then i got confused, frustrated and lost (hehe) my way. So in the month of MAY I made an effort to watch them back to back in my personalised Alex Catch up Schedule - a backlog of tv programmes i have to catch up on. Its amazing. When you have that many to watch, and you know that you dont have to wait for the TV to dictate when you get to see it - you become a semi-recluse and the addiction you once harboured for TV starts all over again. I fell back inlove with LOST last month and i was devestated the affair came to an end last week. That horrid feeling of empty when you've spent your spare moments turning to see Sawyer, Locke, Jin (a personal fave) or even that damn Desmond and Penny...you start to realise you love/hate these characters because you've got to know them - I've know the characters of LOST for the same amount of time i've known some of my best friends!

I did however make new obsessions which i will put up on the REVIEW soon 

The World Cup began - and as I speak I have just witnessed the only African country left in the game (which also happens to be the country my parents are from!!!) GHANA 2  - USA 0 HA!

England play against the formiddable GERMANY EEEEK - its safe to say its been a WORLD CUP to remember - held in the beautiful nation of AFRICA, there have been some suprises - the top teams are crashing out or under performing ... but meh - as long as England stay and Ghana win the whole thing (hey its an African thing mehn) Im easy about the debates.

Michael Jackson has been dead for a year now - and this time last year i was in a field surrounded by music...and i miss it. But im not looking back in sadness - im lucky

There are some new totties on the block tv and off (hehe  ...oh woe, its really not that cool)

London got hotter and I got in to style.

Kylie Minogue came back with a corker of a track, i just realised Madonna is a bit of a legend (listening to her right now) 

I fell out of love with the Hills and the anti - hero Kristen Callivari. 

I have an unexpected girl crush on Roxy from the City - she is so funny and sweet

Pixie Lott redeemed herself to me

and Between Two Lungs has made it to the ultimate desert island disc list for me...epic things man...

what else happened since my absence?

It will all have to be shared with you over the next coming days/months ...but Im going to try and be good now. ...

MY LIFE...

has been a bit of a stop start recently hence me starting to revamp this blog and then stopping to post anything new.
Sorry. What can I say. The sun is finally out here in LDN though it's frightfully chilly, it gives us london peeps an excuse to change it up with what we wear, no more black, browns and blues dominating the streets, no no. The sun puts everyone in a good mood here, because we rarely see it  (i'm convinced everyone living here contracts S.A.D. )


Anyway, on another brighter note I haven't been completely useless in my absence. I have been sourcing good shit to put up on here, trying to find things worth talking about for the Review and TRASH BASH. so stay tuned.


p.s Plus Mavis Bean has given me a back log of Dixie Dog pics to share. She's a ball of  crazy is Dix.

Blurb

 I have work to do  - work that i should have done during the week i was off work and work that I should be doing now. I have some sort of complex when it comes to putting my head down and working to a deadline. Unless the deadline is forced upon me I will not do anything and even when there is one, I wait until the day before to get anything done.


Sundays are for dreamers. I love Sunday its the best the day of the week, but come a certain hour its also the day your heart sinks when you realise that you'll be working the next day.

Trash Bash update: JLS

Gute Samstag

Good Saturday - sorry that title was pretentious. But I couldn't write Saturday again as i have that title already.

I had a driving lesson which went well then i met my dear friend down Oxford Street (I hate Oxford street, I'm a good friend) I shopped, but I didnt spend - I assisted. Ooohed and Mmmmed at my lovely friend's choices of outfits etc.  It was nice to head out with her, its been a long while, and she is most definitely my lover when it comes to shopping.
After gorging on a Burger we parted ways and I came home and forced my lil bro to watch old episodes of DALLAS (season 6) ooo its so good. Bobby may loose Pam, JR's up to his old womanising ways, Sue Ellen, his wife, is back on the bottle...and you probably don't know what I'm banging on about so let me just say whats been updated on YITC today:
TRASH BASH update:
 A Gary Coleman clip I came across on the web.
 Dru Hill are back with a new song, new hair [Nokio what happend bra?]  and a new low [Nokio what happend bra?]

YITC [...we are in a basement]

Weekends fly by - especially when you've had 7 day extended one.
It does however mean that i have spent many hours procrastinating with the face lift of my YITC (abbrev of the blog if ya d'ent know - i'm calling it)
Check out the MAG for new images of AA and my thoughts on  Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino in The Review.
