Holy Food Heaven. I just went to go return a shirt that I bought yesterday (apparently I am waaayyy too pale to pull of pastels) and there was an added bonus in this journey because of Saturday the Brunswick Centre has a food market. I walked around three times before making my selection. I went for a fried risotto balls wrap. OH Em Gee. The risotto was amazzzziinngg. So deliciously filling. I definitely want to go again, but I might just set the salad instead. Though the wrap made for handy eating while walking. Also the man making it was really friendly. BONUS.

Things Learned Today

Portobello Market should be avoided at all costs. I hated it two years ago and I hated it today. Overpriced and filled with annoying tourists. And only a few food stands! LAME.

My New Favorite Column EVER

Malcolm Tucker aka the most brilliant character from the completely show The Thick of It (and the film in the loop), both about British politics/ new labour, has "written" a column for the Guardian. It's hilarious and makes some good points at the same time. It's not, however, for those who are easily offended by a multiple of things.

Some highlights:

" I tell you what, we need more of a strategy than to say, "Ooo, winter's over in Narnia, let's watch the crocuses push up, and the rabbits hump and we can relax and put up our World Cup wallcharts."

"I prefer to conduct my own polling by the means of ripping chickens apart, and reading the tea leaves I have force-fed them. And what this is telling me is that however well we think we're doing, we are currently located midway up shit creek, in the vicinity of the hamlet of Nofuckingpaddles."

"They're in bed with the Ulster Unionists. And I think this is a good week to not unfairly characterise these guys as beardy weirdy, bollocks-in-the-mangle old-time-religion, one-step-from-Waco fruitcakes."

I'm going to start referring to my Ulster friends as "Beardy weirdy, bollocks-in-the-mangle old-time-religion, one-step-from-Waco fruitcakes." I'm sure once I do, our friendship will become even stronger because I surely would want to be referred to in that way. I still had a good LOL.

Such a lovely song.

Anderson Cooper- another man who will never love me because he's gay. Though, I'm becoming more and more open to the idea of a sham marriage. I should also point out that even if Anderson did not prefer men, chances are he would still never love me.

AH! and

7) I saw Thom Yorke yesterday!! For those non-hip people, he's the lead singer of Radiohead and has a pretty distinctive look so I doubt the guy I saw was his doppelganger.

He lives in Oxford and it was always my dream when I was there to see him. It finally happened! Though in Paddington Station in London, where you get trains to Oxford.

things

1- My friend Jane bought me a red velvet birthday cake from Hummingbird Bakery yesterday (the Magnolia's of London), it was beyond amazing. My birthday festivities have started!

2- I went to River Island to buy a dress today for my birthday with my hard earned money. Every dress I tried on was a size too big! I ended up buying one that was two sizes smaller than the first one I originally tried on! SCORE. I haven't weighed myself in a while, but maybe it's really good!

3- I went to Oxford yesterday with Mike (who's in town for his spring break), I have blisters all over my feet. Ouchie.

4- I dyed my hair, it was supposed to be dark blonde. It doesn't look any different. Fail.

5- I'm staying in tonight and writing an essay. FUN. Luckily I have leftover Hummingbird cake and brownies/ 7-layer dip that I made with my friend Allison to get me through the pain.

6- Monday is my birthday!

Daily Mail story of the mornin'
