HATEMAIL :: VOYEURISM :: ÜBERGEEKERY

Sarf!

I moved to Elephant and Castle. South of the river, so I don't have to keep eating babies (apparently that's what they do on the North side). It's awesome, we got a great flat with a great view and it's gated so none of those filthy north of the river'ers can sneak in and steal our young.

Wojtek had a birthday party. Surf and Turf, the food was finished before I got there. It was great though, he'd moved loads of furniture into the garden onto the patio and put loads of lights around, then made a giant barbecue. It was a bit hippy though (but just a bit).

Started doing some tutoring at the RCA to help the graduating students actually graduate. It's weird, a lot of them seem to just want to have someone to talk to about their project (which at this point is their entire life). It's kind of like counseling at times.

Went to Oxford last weekend, mostly to visit the Pitt-Rivers Museum which is part of the natural history museum there. I read somewhere that it provided inspiration for parts of Harry Potter and His Dark Materials books, so I *had* to go. It was awesome. The botanical garden there was cool too.

All Quiet...

So this is April. Echo echo echo echo cho cho ho ho o. I sent a lot of emails today, mostly scouting for work, and got none back.

I've finally created a work blog: work.mrkbrz.com, so I can keep my work separate from my non-work life, if I ever get a life that is.

I got a very nice new camera, which I haven't had a good chance to try yet, but I promise you plenty of delicious photos. The lens cost 3 times as much as the camera.

I leave you with a delightful picture of some cows.

A Shmoke and a Pancake

Hello, from Amsterdam (actually I just got back yesterday). Went over there for the weekend with Arthur, Clarisse and a few of their friends.

We got the red-eye coach, so we were all pretty tired throughout the whole thing, but it was cool. We hired some bikes. Art and Clarisse got a tandem, which they tried to buy at the end to take it back, but the rental place was having none of it!

The best bit by far was the Nemo Museum, (my pictures). It's like the fun part of the London science museum but much bigger, and you don't really learn anything, you just play with stuff. They also had a tiny display of skelingtons and fetuses (check the piccos).

We went to a few coffee shops, although I've never really got the hang of smoking weed. I was going to say we had a few nice meals, but that would be a lie. One night I had chips and nachos, the next a burger king and a kebab for breakfast. Nice work. I'm still regretting it.

We went to the red light district. I'd been here with my parents(!) when I was 14, and we didn't see much, but that's because it kicks off later in the evening. There were ho's in the windows, but what shocked me was the fact that most of them looked so young.

Then back on the coach at 10pm, arrive in Victoria at 10am. Nice. Ugh.
