have i mentioned i hate sundays?

maybe 'hate' is too strong a word.. but i am rather bored. it's hot as shit in my room, so i'm at the coffee shop til my computer's battery dies and i'm debating whether to spend my last 20 quid on food or a fan ... we'll see.

i spent the better part of yesterday lying on my bed watching england's first world cup game [we won!.. or.. they won.. no, we won!] and listening to harry potter and the order of the phoenix on audiobook on my computer, since my ipod has refused to charge since i let all its power run out the other night when i fell asleep listening to hp and the goblet of fire.. i'm a little bit perturbed, because the mp3 of HP5 is 26 hours long and i only have 3 hours left; i'm at the part when harry and ron and hermione and luna and neville are at the ministry of magic in the department of mysteries, fighting the death eaters, and i really didn't want to stop listening to it, but i had to get out.. had my ipod been working properly, obviously it wouldn't have been a problem, but now i'm here and i'm being subjected to some stereotypical coffee shop sunday afternoon world music mix bullshit.. whatever. at least it's air conditioned.. and i can smoke, and i have this delicious iced mocha latte and my computer says it still has an hour of battery life left, which i know is a blatant lie, considering i've already been here for 20 minutes, but at hey, i'll take what i can get.. and as soon as i have more money, i'll go to the apple store on regent street and buy an AC adaptor, and all my problems will be solved.. and i have to say, the fact that that's currently my biggest problem right now is pretty fuckin good news.. especially considering some of the shit that i've been through [okay, gotten myself into] over the past year or so.

i hate the weekends, because everybody's out and every place is crowded and none of my friends are on AIM. i found a bunch of interesting shows to go to this week; no bands i've ever heard of, but that's the fun part ... tomorrow i'm going to the old operating theatre museum, and maybe the tate modern .. there are so many amazing, cheap things to do in london, and i haven't been taking advantage of that fact nearly as much as i should.. that's the problem when i'm in a place that i feel comfortable in; it's not so much a matter of 'staying within my comfort zone' (in this case, my neighborhood) as being perfectly content to lay low and spend time in the park or in my room .. i know there's a whole huge city out there, but just knowing is enough; i rarely feel compelled to actually get out there, but every time i do, i'm reminded of why i love this place as much as i do.. so that's my mission this week, to 'get out there' and enjoy london while i can, because it won't be long before i'm sitting back in boston (in central air!!!) with my cutes and my friends and (i almost said 'my will' but i don't want him to think i'm suddenly getting all possessive [even if, on some level,i guess i always have been, to an extent... this isn't the place for that, though]) will, bitching about how there's nothing to do in that city and spending weekends in the valley and wishing i were back here.


i think that's all,for now.

oh yeah.. also, coffee makes me have to poo.
