have started packing to move out of the house
tonight was really nice. had house farewell dinner minus CJ as her friend came to stay
we went for a cocktail at House as it was happy hour.. i had some almond and apricot sour which was really quite nice. then we cycled to cafe sojo (the last time i was there was on my bday last yr!) and had loads of chinese food and i taught arif how to use chopsticks haha and kudos to him he persisted through the whole meal (even eating rice off a plate). then we parked our bikes and went for a wander and it really was a wander. we wandered upon the castle and some photo exhibition was going on there 'britain from the sky' or something and it was loads of satellite/birds eye views of different places in britain. then we chanced upon some random theatre production in the amphitheatre near the mound. arif tried to sit down amongst the audience but got chucked out. we decided to go to G+D for ice cream but along the way stumbled upon
a) some extremely loud gig that was going on in this hippie arty alternative cafe that is too cool for me
b) the modern art museum -- we took a detour and went inside but weren't very impressed with the modern art, especially the photos of a drying rack in different configurations. very reminiscent of the one we have in our house actually, it's broken and does funny things when you try and stand it up properly
c) the basement of the modern art museum -- we proceeded to try and make an arty video (it was very improv) with the many pillars in this basement -- very strange
d) along the way to G+D we saw this window display that none of us had ever noticed before with all sorts of random strange things in it like 'giant dental floss' and 'invisibility cloak repair kit' etc and a sign saying these items belong to the fictitious community of oxford and may open its doors to normal people in 2014 (???) super random
finally made it to G+D to have ice cream and then.... we went to see harry potter! the final one..
the film was.. well.. pretty entertaining haha because we kept making jokes and their acting is truly awful and the lines i thought were also dire but the effects were good though we all felt they could have utilised the 3D effects more! as nick pointed out the best use of the 3D thing was probably when voldemort's skin went all flaky and disintegrated.. v disturbing. also didnt help that chris watkin recently shaved his head and someone said he looked like voldemort so everytime i saw voldemort i just thought of you know who. it made the whole thing much less scary/magical but im glad that i went to see it anyway. to be honest it could get the worst reviews ever but anyone who was a vague HP fan would see it anyway!
ok i really need to sleep!
