Mexican Goodness

The Mission Mexican is probably my fave place to eat in Oxford at the moment. I am in love with their borrito's I'm literally going to starve myself all day and once Martin arrives later we are heading down there straight away haha NOM!

Cosmic Love

Florence and the machine- Lungs. Easily one of best albums I've had this year and they play amazingly live too. The music is captivating and instrumentally perfect and I literally cant wait for the next album to come out.

'A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind  The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart  And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became' 

Ugh I feel like a reeeeet mess. It's only day 3 in to my diet and already feel as if i'm about to cave. I just crave pizza and chocolate and everything that's bad for me right now (but I thinks that's partly because i'm hungover :P) I've not done a lot today at all really apart from sleeping and feeling guilty about my lack of dissertation work at the moment. I have recently ordered two books off amazon and gonna have a look for some more in a wee while.

Lucy brought me an Edward Cullen key ring which cheered me up lots! and apparently Tom might be going Ireland tomorrow, how exciting, I wish I could jet off somewhere nice. I'm very much looking forward to spending my second Valentines day with Martin this year. He's booked us in at Pizza Express for a 3 course V-day meal and apparently he has a few surprises for afterwards too. I know the majority of people moan about Valentines day and I guess I used to as well, but i'm happy and gonna make the most of celebrating it while I still can. I'm sure the novelty will wear off someday.

I'm super excited about our trip to see Avenue Q and to see my bessssssie Ky in London on Monday. I love going to London in general but I always have a lovely time spending time with Ky and his flat mate Holli and Rob who are just awsome. I also have Imogen Heap on the 18th and have just heard my friend Rich and his sis are attending too :)

Jennifer Walshe

Ok, so im really starting to like my music theatre lecture at the moment. My lecturer is called Felix and she's a quirky little so and so which I like because it means she will actually make me pay attention. So far in her classes I have got to watch an episode of GLEE (adore this programme) and have started a journal to dabble down my thoughts and opinions of the show alongside anything else id like to include, literally anything! It's so good.

Today we were talking about Opera's such as'dido and aeneas', 'the marriage of figaro', ' john cage and the europears' and a little discussion about the music of 'moulin rouge' . We also got to watch this crazy video of one of Felix's friends called Jennifer Walshe performing at the Kilkenny Arts Festival 2007. In reference to the talk about Moulin Rouge, Felix compared the Love Medley to Jennifer's composition through the way both pieces are compiled with a mix of different songs. Jennifer's piece just astonished me.

As an on looker anyone would think she was crazy but I actually found it very creative and admired the difficulty of making sure the lyrics rolled on to the next. Some parts are really entertaining and she has managed to use a whole range of different styles and genre's creating a very funny and unique performance.

R-Patz

Looking forward to seeing him in this :)

Are you afraid of the dark?

Jadey has the dvds and were currently watching a few episodes, I havn't watched it since I was like 10 so it's a nice little trip down memory lane haha. and to think I actually used to be afraid of some of these. I love it. I used to go to bed after watching it pretty stupid looking back, but it was always fun to watch with my brother and sister.

Sometimes I just wanna do this to my laptop.............
