[Oct. 29th, 2009|11:00 pm] |
today i had this big toaster fire in the kitchen
only here they don't have toasters they have like these 'broilers' that serve as toasters too
so i basically had this fire in a box
i freaked out and couldnt remember what you do in an emergency fire, and i wanted to go and ask google or youtube but i couldnt because i had this real life emergency on my hands. and was shit scared cos the notice by the elevator, i mean lift, i mean elevator, says something about how ONLY THE FIREMEN CAN TURN THE FIRE ALARMS OFF, even if the fire is over. and then i was thought about how they probably charge you £1098324953429487 for calling the fire brigade out, and
anyway i wanted to put it out with a water soaked tea towel - but then you can't put water on electrical fire. but then it was just the toasts on fire, seriously a box of fire fuck.
in the end it was dying down but not fast enough so i had to do the tea towel water thing - but both toasts were completely ablaze. seriously these things are like on arrested development that design fault corn dog maker, everythings a fuckinghazard.
tomorrow ive been invited to my first american party
and on saturday it will be my first halloween. Ive been invited to a real american KEG PARTY and theres even gonna be a luge
luuuuuuge
luuuuuuge
with jocks omg
i will have to go as amy winehouse because i guess that won't be as popular out here, and since i can do really good 'NOOOooooo siimon' impressions why not. |

so today i got to Harvard train station - and they werent letting anyone exit on the stairs or escalator - i was worried that maybe someone got stabbed or shot or something.
no. i had to use the lift and it took me out to ground level - we stepped out to walk straight into a Ben Afflek film shoot - it was really surreal.
i was waiting ages outside a on the otherside of the street because we were supposed to meet the real estate lady there - and then he saw some hot hollywood blond walk accross the street with a really clean shaven Ben Afflek - it was really weird. he was clearly trying to get away playing 'normal\ - but nobody else LOOKS like THAT. maybe he had a tonne of foundation and make up on him - cos he really did look like he just stepped off a film set. |

hello on monday i will be emigrating to Boston
i will miss my mum and my cat. and you.
we're going to stay in a hotel for the first two nights, to get back to our honeymoon -
the ace thing is that there will be towels [so don't need to pack those...] and free local calls, so we will be able to hitup everyone on craigslist for free on the old blower. then we need to find a place to live, and then i have to apply for a work permit which will take up to 90 days to process, i will be paying $350 for the privilege. mlergh.
i have started another weblog to document this because lots of people keep asking me, but for sure it will be boring because the kind of people whove been asking me include, my dad, my mom, alex's mom... so boring it is.
http://andsotoboston.wordpress.com
its got some crap writing on it. already. but obviously im not there yet so none of it is going to be interesting. i suck at seeing people before i go, i just want to spend all my time with my mom, cos im a ween.
Im looking forward to hopefully seeing melissa though, thanks for the help!! |

| 'talented ugly person baffles world' |
[Apr. 18th, 2009|10:26 pm] |
so i dont have time to battle with the internet on a daily basis
and i dont get to see much/ANY news ever
its strange its a bit dersert island discs, without the discs, the bible, the complete works of shakespear or whatever
actually its not like desert island discs cos its not really a desert island with nothing to do...
anyway getting to the point, everytime i look at news websites im distracted by ludicrous sounding headlines like
'TALENTED UGLY PERSON BAFFLES WORLD'
and i think about what other ludicrous shit im missing out on and whats this 'WORLD' they speak of... i don't want to know what the worlds gonna be like when i ever go back.. it will be no doubt like waking from a coma - oh my god.
but in better news i just found a knusper german cafe where they have internet biggenough that i just streamed [without it even stopping] some footage from the internet - so my hermitage might be coming to a new dawn
excellent. i now know what said talented ugly person [who isnt that ugly really] sounds like - it was pretty surprising i wanted her to sound like beyonce but anyway...
i need a reintroduction into society. |

| Saudis are funny it must really suck to live there |
[Feb. 22nd, 2009|12:32 am] |
Omg so my cousin aforementioned
is from Saudi
he's just said the funniest thing
"do you know counterstrike
I used to play that on a professional level
I was on the best team in Saudi " I made a lot of money from it i just played it to kill time maybe 14hours a day cos in Saudi theres nothing to do you can't go to the mall unless you enter with a family you can't even play outside or walk on the streets |

| wait they don't love you like I love you |
[Feb. 22nd, 2009|12:08 am] |

I used to think this place was so naff and now I think its soooooo cooool

| this is the sound of loneliness turned up to ten.... |
[Feb. 10th, 2009|07:28 pm] |
so i had to go on an unbareable exercise walk with heartattack dad - thank god he didnt talk to me about anything - other than priming me on being on my best behaviours when tomorrow from saudi
this arrives
this is my cousin - already once before documented on this journal but that was probably about 3 or 4 years ago - so im allowed to rehash old photos... man. i need to use the livejournal capacity for bitching and venting because of said pledge of best behaviour.
this girl is a total TESTA DI CAZZO omg - so annoying. when i met her about 4 years ago for the first time, she basically didnt give me the time of day because i wasnt into shopping and materialistic things and i didnt have 'stuff' - i.e my humble shoestring student loan budget wasnt good enough for her... [or maybe just cos i was a loser who was more interested in books and reading and slightly more mentally stimulating conversation and stuff...]
she's super blue blooded [totes not fair] - firstly she's the daughter of my dads half sister - slightly closer than half tho - since her father is my dads half uncle... yeah that one, - the one whose mother is a saudi princess... the lineage that totally missed my dads batch of the family. nice. anyways - if that wasnt enough - on her fathers side she is related to the shah of persia... [ok so he died, but they get this mad wicked stipend from the iranian government to live off...]
god one week of revision interrupted by this:

[Jan. 28th, 2009|04:55 pm] |
I blates have my final arabic exam tomorrow – som im blates gonna update shway
So I came up with a new Arabic related shitty band name idea
ALEF BETAMAX-SURA
[rita, that ones for you, I hope you get it… youre smart so of course you will]
[for non-ritas: theres a letter sorta in the alphabet called alef maxsura… blablabla… geek. do themath]
this month has been so rad. It will never be this good again. My Arabic still pretty much sucks tho so I should be revising but
so my housemate Nadia got hepatitis A – and just left to go back home to England for the two weeks she has to rest it off
its been dramadramadrama. But such laughs. Man theres so much that has gone undocumented…maybe should save that for after the exam hey.
I retardly redid level 2 arabic but in exchange I got the most badass class ever. I really really really don’t want to leave, its just getting good. In this pre-exam procrastinational instalment I will just introduce one character for now and then more later…[ive developed loads of fictional crushes just to help the time pass by, but character number one isn’t one of them… he’s ace nonetheless so…]
Niels is this tall ‘nobleman’ looking german with perfect straight blond hair, but he can speak Turkish and listens to r’n’b and has a life fetish on Justin timberlake [so he be the SNAPPIEST dresser you’ll ever see in Syria… omg]. He has the funniest deadpan accent which makes everything sound like its been said with perfect comic timing. He goes to breakdancing lessons at the Russian cultural centre or something [yeah lol] – none of him makes sense – I love it. He does rock climbing too – and so I found out through him that the place on the mount that the villa is on is like small time renowned for rock climbing. We went, but the rock was like climbing a serrated knife so I chickened out in the knowledge of what eternal hand sore pain is all about… I did some bouldering instead. Climbing mountains is the shit. We hi-jacked my moms car to get there it was totally worth whatever amounts of trouble im going to get into… eventually… then we stayed in the villa – basically in the kitchen as the place is like ice. But it was the most fun. I found some boardgames, like articulate – which we played – native English speakers against English as a second language, I was on the latter team, but guess who won and guess whose the most badass at being succinct and to the point. Oh yeah. [not me, but the others on my team, is my point…]
People out here are beginning to plan to stay indefinitely because the credit crisis blaa poo is no incentive to go back to… With my classmates we’ve started doing what I came here to do – the most awesome project imaginable – translating rap songs into Arabic fuss’ha. Although I think it feels kinda wrong translating the language of the streets into ridiculous formal Arabic which was never meant for speaking and just the preserve of staid literary useage… but anyway, it’s the fastest way to learn a language for sure…
I’ll be home in a couple of days, so hopefully pictures will follow.
I basically decided that I get into trouble with my dad/family all the time for only ever the smallest things all the time, so I’ve generally thrown caution to the wind and now my behaviour is the pits. I’ve decided that from now on [say belated 2009 resolution or something…] if im going to get into trouble, its only going to be for things that were REALLY WORTH getting in trouble for… So before the villa hi jking – we had a massive end of midterms party. Omg I thought like 4 people were going to come – since Christmas ive basically been addicted to cooking these apple crumbles [and roast potatos, yeah separate dish btw], and they seem to get better everytime, until word spread and everyone flocked down to the styx to eat apple crumble at my house. This party was banging… omg. Its what I always wanted, ive never had a party before. At the end my housemates were like, you’ve just had a 12 hour party… It started at about 4pm with everyone meeting at like 3 after the exam to get here in time for the sunset [this place has a killer mountain view] and then people started leaving at 5am, it was a little bit LONG, and then people returned when they couldn’t get a bus. And then we watched the sunrise. Ive now stopped cooking apple crumble all the time. I am all crumbled out.
Time to revise. [or fall asleep…] |
