this is only half an update because i do not have much news to report, more a question. i am not meeting my parents in vietnam for christmas anymore [you know, credit crunch and all] but i can use my return ticket to come home for christmas for two weeks instead. half the reason would be to see everyone, the other half would be to get some sun on my face, go to the beach, eat good food, and to cram as much of my stuff [sitting in storage] into my second suitcase as possible. i am going to umm and ahh about it until friday. i do not feel i have been away long enough to be visiting home already but oh oh oh i do want to! will anyone be in town from 20/12 to 03/01? fingers crossed one of you will be [like a certain someone with a baby]!
i went to see vampire weekend last night. they played an amazing show! each song was a winner, no duds. but let me tell you about the english audience. jon explained it to me like this, they want to be entertained. they are not there to encourage or lend support, they want their monies worth. and it is true! the two support acts finished their sets and everyone is buzzing waiting for vampire weekend. we are all clapping encouraging them to come on and then people in the crowd get bored of this and start booing very loudly instead. the band come on straight away and i mean straight away. is that not strange? and then some idiot in the front throws a bottle at the keyboard player and gets him on the head but he does not miss a note. then someone throws a bottle at the lead singer but he dodges it. the band are so cool about it. they did not mention it once, just kept on playing a great show. also they are very friendly and talked to the crowd.
on saturday night jon and his housemates hosted a very trashy halloween party. you had to come dressed how you died.
i died in my sleep,
liz and jon were pecked to death by birds,
pete died at the blade of a chainsaw,
and so on!
take care, you.
