so the dissertations are at the binding people and hopefully if nothing goes wrong the university will have our completed books on Wednesday....in celebration a weekend of fun was planned well not planned but left to go about in a natural way (not sure right now how to express that)
so on Friday i dragged Margo to a Australian bands gig in hammersmith just up the road called powerderfinger - one of my favorite bands. was good time met some of my undergrad friends there and had couple of drinks afterwards in a nice bar.
er Saturday was xmas shopping time for me after Margo cooked what can only be described as a legendary breakfast ...margo cooked cookies and nuts (not sure their name). The tube was very busy but for some reason Covent Garden was empty so got away with getting a seat while everyone else battled it out - you can definitely tell those who do it everyday and those who do not! in the evening we were suppose to go to Vinopolis a wine museum/tasting thing where you go to taste world wines only problem was that it was really busy i think because of the really bad weather so we went for nachos and newcastles in the pub next door. next stop was ice skating with my fam and some friends of my parents. they took ages getting to tower bridge so margo and i stopped off at German market and had bratwurst and mulled wine. it was good times. the ice skating was really good fun -Margo was definitely better than me apparently she had lessons when she was 8! it was outside the tower of London which is actually a really good part of town - i would say it looks very modern but with the old parts there too! i haven't really spent too much time there even though i work like a 10 minute walk from there! anyways it was a good time (well i thought so). afterwards we went to wagamamas which is this weird modern Japanese thing (chain) but we went to the one at Victoria which is all office etc so its completely dead at the weekends - really bizarre! but the food was good and the restaurant definitely didn't have a problem coping with the party size!
Sunday was lazy day and i realise no one will read this but ill carry on. we got the 2pm showing of American gangster which i thought was amazing but not sure about Margo. i thought it showed the signs of what taking drugs really means very well. also russel crowe is a very good actor and Washington needs no introductions! then we went to the elk bar in fulham and had cheap nachos though we partly went there because they advertised kronenbourg 1664 for like 1.50 but we found out that's for half pint bottles so we were like we'll get full pints for 3 quid anyways! nachos were good though not as good as the more expensive pub thing near London bridge. i get confused between London bridge and tower bridge not sure why!
er then we went to the German bar for a stein and now I'm like its work tomorrow but Margo's got a day off but meeting her for lunch at the slug and lettuce on the south bank which is something to look forward to on what otherwise is a day spent at work.
right think this is about as boring as one of these things can be...but the end of the dissertation was celebrated well. Margo's watching csi! sorry about the bad grammar!
p.s. There are pictures on Picasa! Lots and lots! They just don't have captions yet...

Wow--gotta be young to have weekends like that! Glad Margo remembered how to ice skate after those lessons all those years ago. We used to go to a Mexican restaurant for dinner after her and Aaron's lesson. The ice rink the lessons were at was where Tonya Harding used to practice. It's been covered up now.
And I'm the one who eats nothing but nachos...?
There's no shame in nachos!
