Books I bought today

Yey Blackwell books 3 for 2 section. Unfortunately, this was money I should not have spent. OH well. In a week I'll be home and my parents will provide me with food. Yey

However, I will say Blackwells is the superior English bookstore (over Waterstones and the soon to be deceased Borders). It just feels so intellectual. A book lovers chain. Maybe this is because it reminds me of Oxford, but it definitely has more character than Waterstones.

A super hipster take on a classic:

Gawker has a ridiculous run-down on who's-who.

I still can't get over this.

And here starts a busy weekend.

I Forgot to Say

Yesterday on the street I walked right past:

Andre J, Paris Vogue cover model and all round pure inspiration. I had to work extremely hard to maintain my composure. Two days with celebrity spottings in a row! AMAZING.

OMG

As many may know, I am obsessed with pigmy hippos. Hippos used to be my fav animals, but then I saw a pigmy hippo and my life changed (not really). Well, I was just browsing the guardian when I spotted this picture:

Here's the article about this little bundle of joy.

Last IO Seminar

I had my last IO seminar today. It was fine. I'm not going to cry about it ending, but I will miss learning about all the ways America is evil. Though, I'm sure I'll get plenty of that in later lectures. Though, that is not to say it was anti-American. I don't think the people in my seminar hated America, I just think they wanted to point out the not so great things America occasionally does. Which, is a lot better than the blatant anti-American shit I got from one particularly evil student in Oxford.

In around 10 days I'll be home. But, in the meantime I have Christmas markets, parties and carols to look forward to. I should also edit my paper. Wah. But, on things I have made progress on, I'm almost finished with my a scarf I'm making as a Christmas present for someone who doesn't read this blog. RUDE.
