Hey guys...

chilling out here in Chloe's room cos my internet is currently fucked. Am very sorry that the posts aren't coming like they should be but I thought I'd bring everyone up to speed...Also, I'd like to apologise in advance for the staccato nature of the post but I'm having trouble putting my thoughts together with a tremendous hangover weighing me down.

Films seen so far:
The Departed
Little Miss Sunshine
The Queen
Volver

thoughts on all of them will follow after I've spoken to my editors at LT on which they want for the magazine, etc.

Am coming off a very big hangover after the housewarming party here on Friday. The house was one big haze of smoke, booze and very excellent company. Seriously have not hung out with so many like minded people ever in my life. Everyone is just so cool (what can you expect? They're all art students)- met so many great people on Friday: everybody was so great to talk to.

Also should give you a lowdown on the housemates: Mon lives with Tom, Chloe, Lucy and Helen. The other half of her group live in a house closeby: Kieron, Ralph, Jon and Fred.
A far more detailed post about ALL the friends is in store.

I'm cutting down on my smoking some since I can't smoke in the house and Tash is determined to make me cut my intake in half by the end of the trip.

Missing all you guys and wishing, as I always do, that you all could be here. Will hopefully meet up with Westy and family next weekend.

Mostly been spending my trip lounging around, going out to parties and bars, and at the movies. Having a great chilled out time and very excited abt the Film Festival that kicks off on Wednesday(!).

Tried some new things that I can't divulge on the blog but that I'll share with the group when I get back.

Having an awesome time and i'll see you all in a couple of weeks...

london baby

hey folks...

Writing from an internet cafe near Mon's since she doesn't have a connection yet. Did manage to steal a couple of minutes of surfing earlier by enjoying somebody else's Wi-fi that just popped up on the laptop. As E said 'illegal is best'...

Not much to say-got in at 6:15 and then took the train to Paddington. Then took the train with Mon and Ralphie to the house and capped the night off by going to Goldsmiths, the student bar. Alright night (great music-especially compared to the clubs back home) but I did not get anywhere near as drunk as I wanted (i.e. needed) to truly make an arse (that's right arse, I'm in England now) of myself. Will give lowdown of friends later.

The Departed opens tomorrow!!!

sorry...reviews start tomorrow and the wheels slowly start to move

Expect Asvajit to get off his arse and do his job as guest blogger sometime soon

Do you know how this beat is made in fucking London?

Couple of changes coming to the blog since I'll be leaving for London in the early hours of tomorrow. Firstly, London blogging- I'll be keeping you updated on my trip and (if I can score tickets today) keeping you updated on the films at the London Film Festival. This means capsule reviews on most every big film this year, so expect word on The Departed, Little Children, Bobby, Venus, The Queen, Little Miss Sunshine, Still Life, For Your Consideration and Half Nelson, among others (and hopefully Breaking and Entering and The Last King of Scotland).

Also for those of you who know me, will do update (hopefully with pics) of Stewart, Rachel and baby Ella and also The Dwarf of Edingburough.

Secondly, two guest bloggers will be making the rounds here: Asvajit and one to-be-determined will be keeping you warm when I'm not around.

So I'll be trying to keep it busy on this blog for the next month...next update will come from Mon's house in New Cross Gate
