V&A, LDN and Me

Hey
Watching the hilarious and sweet Beautiful People on TV. I am still tired from yesterday. Yesterday, after my class finished at 1pm I decided to go and see the Fashion .V. Sport exhibition at the V&A. First I wandered round Oxford Street, it was beautiful and sunny; although completely packed, even on a Wednesday afternoon.

These photos are in a bizarre order:


I am going back to being a redhead. Hopefully I will be more Mary-Jane than Ronald. I like being a redhead before.

In Fashion .v. Sport exhibition (I got a couple of sneaky, illegal shots) I LOATHED these.

Cute, vintage BIBA shoes.

We meet again Mr Bond

I really, really should be asleep, I have a 7am start tomorrow but I'm watching a Will&Grace re-run and pm-ing the sprinkle to my cupcake. I haven't read the book for tomorrow, it was out of print everywhere and the library had no copies, or orders for copies from the lecturer. This will hopefully mean a group moan tomorrow where we all go 'Couldn't get it' and he then gives us 2o different ways to have gotten it, and tells us we are doomed to educational failure.

On Monday my Renaissance class was moved to a new room. It was completely gorgeous, the University's Council Chamber with a big doomed ceiling, white and wood everywhere, big comfy swivelly seats and framed portraits of Vice-Chancellors. It was very impressive and I amused myself by pretending to be a Bond villain instead of discussing Faustus during my seminar.

I am not bored of my camera yet:


I watched a movie (corny)

Inadvertently played textbook Jenga.

Did some important research for my lecture.

Moaned about my throat

Realised my neat, tidy bedside draw is in fact a Sweetie Drawer.

Admired the changeable weather

Checked my diary

My Day

In photos

I watched the latest Viddycast.

Watched my new Will & Grace DVD, was like £1.30 from Amazon marketplace.

Watched a Never mind the buzzcocks re-run - Thursdays was a bit meh wasn't it?

Looked at my sneakers and made a mental note. CLEAN. WASH. I meant to write on them at some point, but all my ideas seemed pretentious.


What I SHOULD have been reading

What I ACTUALLY read.

Beautiful sky
Sigh.
Dug-up some old photos. Moi. I was ALWAYS in Fashion dah-ling.

See. Effortlessly chic. I still dress like this now.

Small Town Girl

Hey
It's so nice not to have to go into Uni. Yesterday I had to get my usual 4 buses and I waited the max 20 mins for every single one. Then on my way in, I got stuck in traffic for 50minutes. I had my IPod and Russell and Matt kept me company, but it was still irritating. I got a new student card, but with my original First year photo; which is AWFUL. I am reluctant to hand it over to Library staff for fear of their look of mocking pity.

This morning I watched Will & Grace re-runs and sniffed and sneezed repeatedly. I think EVERYONE has the cold/flu so I won't go on moaning about it. Then earlier this afternoon I got bundled up and went to the library. I took some photos:

Pretty red leaves by my house

Scarf-scarf

Flash-flash
Cosy-Cosy
The pond, Anzac memorial with Autumn leaves

Ducks, who got upset and potentially violent when they realised I had no snacks for them.

Post-Modernism is a game of two halves

Hey
I started back at Uni this week. My first class of the week, The Renaissance, was kinda dull because we were just going through the module booklet. Also, the lecturer kept making the Underworld sound like some kind of sexual euphemism, 'where the people go, down below', 'sinners went into the nether regions'. It was hard to keep a straight face. Today I had my second class, my dissertation counts as module so I only have two lectures/seminars a week. The lecture was on 20th Century Literature, and the lecturer kept using football metaphors to describe post-modernism and talking about his close friendship with Will Self.


New ANTM. Makin' me happy.

Crazy beautiful sunset.

School outfit for Monday. Kinda plain, but my black jacket had a new corsage and I had fancy tights on and new boots.

Lewis indulging me in posing for silly photos. I will call this one 'Sister's indulgence'

Why my back and shoulders hurt. Just this week's reading. Eek.
