Half Birthdays and Haircuts
This post title kindof sounds like a band name.... not quite like TrolleyBuffer (the band name Brandon and I reserved upon arriving in Heathrow, in the rare even that we start a flat band)...Maybe it's a throwback to the whole Angels and Airwaves thing, but it does have a certain ring to it...
To start off, I'm a bad brother- while i'm usually pretty creepy about knowing anniversaries, birthdays, important dates, I failed to remember my half birthday and the half birthday of a very special sister (no, not special, but special). So, here is my public apology: Katie, enjoy your half birthday, 20.5 is a big step. May all your ......something flowery, cute.......etc..... the end.
After a great run with the croscountry team (it feels good to take initiative and run with a team again), the flat entertained the International Studies office's Rachels (Rachel Jessup and Rachel Buckley) in order that they might have a better understanding of how we live and where we come from.
Two spicy enchiladas and some mango sorbet later, Wine Wedensday was in full swing. Sophisticated as usual, I wore a button down shirt and a sweet hat while Mary made (and later hid) cookies and the gang worked on WINTER BREAK 2K6 plans....
Here is the scaffolding, the basic bare bones schedule so far:
DEC 14-18: Chamonoix, France for skiing in the French Alps
DEC 18-20: Salsburg or Munich or something
DEC 20-22: Prague
DEC 22-24: Torino, maybe N Italy or S Swiss
DEC 24-26ish: Geneva
DEC 26ish-29: Around, who knows.... Amsterdam? More Swiss?
DEC 29-JAN 1: Paris
JAN 1-7: Who knows? More Amsterdam? France? Spain? London for sure...
Seems pretty 'whirlwind' now, but a few days in each city will be nice, and getting some places under our belt will be good for narrowing the SPRING BREAK 2K7 plans...
Finally, in anticpation of the London trip to take place later today (...about 6.25 hrs, but who's counting...), Mary gave me another haircut. I'm not saying she's better than you, Eda, but it's been awhile, and i'm starting to forget how skilled you were in this dept.... maybe a haircut in Spain this spring will jog my memory....
This weekend is looking amazing- chill tonight in a Londony flat, tomorrow dinner with Heather and Avenue Q at 845, Wicked on Saturday at 2, with museums and sightseeing interspursed. Maybe even a Quizno's run.... Best of all, a Ben Kweller concert in Notts waiting for me when i get back.
cheers.

kevin,
how i wish we could sit down and talk face to face (although i do enjoy skype) about our respective mind ramblings...only i envy your exposure to and motivation for the plethora of enlightening reading materials you've been tackling that are apparently "fucking your shit up." oh africa, how you confuse, taunt, and taint me. still, i can relate in so many ways to the various complexities of study abroad and international travel in general, and can't wait to talk at length about our respective experiences. anywho, enjoy london and enjoy whatever else life in nottingham throws at you. peace be the journey...i don't know what else to say...
much love,
boozie
Kevin, I never said I was the best...it's ok if I've been replaced! But if you'd like me to in the spring, I totally will! I cut Cora's bangs tonight! Anyway...I miss you pal!
Eeds
