Quick post of laziness
Mar. 25th, 2009 02:57 pmSo yes, I'm back from my fabulous 4 days in London and we had a blast !
We did all the touristy things we had never done like Tussauds (2 hours spent doing extremely silly poses with the wax!people) and the London eye. I saw some parts of Camden that I didn't know before and hung around in Covent Garden which is a lovely part of the city. Hurm I'm QUITE ASHAMED by that particular part of the day because we stumbled upon the Ivy and
fairy_bliss had to spell it out for me BECAUSE I COULDN'T REMEMBER THAT IT WAS THE RESTAURANT OF TENNANT/SIMM DRUNKEN PICTURES FAME. I died of embarassement afterwards and we stupidly forgot to go back and take some pics of it. *headdesk*
I bought two somethings from Topshop for the very first time. We (as in me and
jedicathy) robbed the Forbidden Planet of almost EVERYTHING Watchmen related and put my Comedian and Ozy action figures to work on that night. I'm lucky I didn't break them (Ozy lost a leg at some point but we succeeded to put him back together lol).
I'm completely doing this out of order now but it doesn't matter.
We spend friday night at the Hawley Arms and had two englishmen buying us drinks :)
We saw James McAvoy's play, Three Days of Rain and it was very good. I prefered the past tale of the second act but I will never forget James doing totally gratuitous slutty hip moves on the mattress during the first act, because DAMN. We saw him afterwards and he was incredibly nice, he signed everyone's program and made sure that he did them all before going back in.
Sunday night was Watchmen in all its IMAX glory time and BOY WAS IT GLORIOUS. The scale matched Ozy's fierceness tremendously well.
ephyse even ended up loving the film even though she loathed it the first time she saw it. We were quite pleased by that fact.
Monday, the fact of having slept something like 15 hours total during the weekend started to hit and we wnet through the days acting like knackered zombies but we got to eat at that delicious bento cafe in Camden that I love so it was all good. We also had some time for a second trip at HMV where I weirdLy ended up buying Nite Owl and Rorschach and Brideshead Revisited.
The whole weekend was also spent with me and
fairy_bliss annoying
ephyse to no end by singing Flight of the Conchords songs. ACE <3
There's pictures to go with all this but I haven't got them yet. I'll probably do a picspam later this week.
Since I got back, I spent a ridiculous amount of time procrastinating on
ontd_ozy. I went to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist with
fairy_bliss and
jedicathy and I caught up with the latest Supernatural and the last ever Battlestar Galactica.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist was bloody ADORABLE. Mostly due to Michael Cera being himself and his fabulous gay band. I didn't expect gayness at all so all that surprise!gay was just the icing on the cake.
Supernatural 416 is all that everyone's gushing about and more. The Bro and I weren't let down in that respect and we also loved the incredibly dark tone. My brain doesn't compute the CW logo anymore.
However, THANK GODS that we restrained from seeing the Battelstar Galactica finale first because SPN would have lost 150 points of amazingness.
I STILL HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW FUCKING BEAUTIFUL THAT FINALE EPISODE WAS. I love how they closed those four epic years of struggle and some of those last shots took my breath away.
I spent the last 30 minutes of it crying. I even cried for the death of someone I never liked. And I cried again later that night watching a picspam of the episode ;__;
I saw that some people have problems with the last scene but I only thought it was made of 57 flavours of win upon watching it.
I am now excited as frak to go to THIS in a month \o/
I haven't had the strength to see the Flight of the Conchords finale yet because two amazing series ending for good on the same night would have been too much.
TONIGHT IS KAAMELOTT NIGHT !! AND WE'RE ALL GOING !! I REALLY REALLY REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO BE TONIGHT OMG ! *clings*
I'm going to wear the Perceval tee my bro got me for Christmas, it's only fitting that the first time I got to wear it is today :D
