Oh. Your. God.
What better way to keep oneself sane whilst repeatedly smashing your face into the scalding garbage soup that is jobseeking in London than with a busy events calendar?
Honestly, it feels like my soul has just cracked it's knuckles. It's been five years since I have lived in a city that can support an ongoing cultural scene (and newsagents. And bakeries that actually bake their own bread rather than just sell sandwiches.)
Check it. And get jealous. (Jealousy is subject to your intended geographic location for the coming week, sexual orientation, drink preference and feelings -hostile or otherwise- toward my former flatmates; Jane and Ryan. Jealousy is one of a range of recommended emotions and is not intended as a replacement for joy, rage or sleepyness.)
Firstly, We're going to see Wicked with Ryan and Jane on Tuesday.
Then Thursday it's off to the BFI Southbank again to watch some gay documentary for gays as part of their September Seasons.
And then... And then... On Saturday it's... It's so so good.
It's the first ever London Pirate Festival!
And I have bought tickets to a celebratory rum tasting near London Bridge for the Saturday. There are also events/games (mostly for children but that just makes it easier for me to win) on/around the South Bank.
The last time I tried to buy a pirate hat my giant head was far too big for it. This means I'm going to have to go with an eyepatch/scarf combo... Plus sword. I need to put a lot of work into the sword choice. There will be skirmishes.
Watch this space.
It's been a week of catch-ups, fortunately, because the jobseeking is driving me crazy.
Firstly it was Shashma and Heidi (who claims to read the blog. We'll see. This is another mention.).
Fortunately for us (not sure how I swung this) both catch-ups were in Angel... Easy walking distance home.
Anyway, that's all I am going to say about any of them because they all specifically mentioned the blog and asked not be be included.
Highlight of the week thus far has been the Hadrian exhibit at the British Museum. Check the video out. You may/should recognise the awesome voice of the narrator.
I'll give you a hint:
Here's something that I am going to make tremendous use of once our lives finally normalise: we are within easy walking distance of both the British Museum and the British Lie-berry. And they're both free! Outstanding.
I will finally be able to take my nerdly pursuits to the next level. The highest level.
Oh!
And just in front of the museum is this games shop. We went in and the shopkeeper was telling someone to try another store down the road.
James and I both independently thought of this:
Suffice to say. Our newest/only favourite games shop.
