"I don't care how the pixies beg"
Fly-by post time, and I should BE ASLEEP, god.
- I am (clearly) no longer in Greece: pictures should be coming soon, maybe, and, er, more talkings on this topic. For now, Greece = awesome but Athens was the scariest place, I swear. HOW IS THAT CITY SO BIG? On the top of the Acropolis, I took roughly umpteen zillion pictures of the Vast Sea of Athens because I couldn't quite get over how much city there was. Wows.
(this one is from the top of the Acropolis, near Athena's temple)
(this one is from the top of the Acropolis, just to the side of the Parthenon)
And that's just, like, two angles. :O
- I WANT BSG S4 RIGHT NOW. I am going a little bit insane. The Americans have seen it. The downloading people have seen it. The UK can (legally) see it next Tuesday, when it is on Sky, but I CAN'T, because my laptop doesn't have enough disc space for me to download it (on a side-note, I have, like, ~600 megabytes left on the C drive, and I'm thinking that's not good) and I don't have Sky. I NEED ME SOME LAURA ROSLIN.
And can I just say, as I don't remember if I've said this here yet, I am not spoiled for s4 of BSG. Please do not spoil me for anything. Thank you. (are the dvds out yet? plz?)
- I now have a puppy! His name is Morris, and he is a whippet, and if I never have to clean the kitchen floor again from puppy-accidents, it will be Too Soon. I still have a slight phobia of dogs, but I seem to be doing all right with this one. He's grown so much in the two weeks we've had him, it's weird. Also, I really want to wear some proper clothes again (read: clothes I like); having the dog necessitates looking after the dog, which brings me into close contact with skanky dog smell and being chewed and licked by the dog and cleaning up after the dog (ew, though not like that), so I've basically been wearing old, ripped, jeans and some variation on back-of-the-wardrobe, everything-else-is-in-my-suitcase-and-I-need-something-to-wear top, with a giant nasty sweatshirt. Mmm, fetching.
- I have just bought a student railcard (primarily because I'm bumming up for a St. Andrews Open Day in a couple of weeks, and staying with the delightful![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
missfoxie, hurrah! but also because I plan to go see other people - Maddie, Loz, d'you fancy some Moog-time outside the OT3 gay-up? - during the summer, and, y'know, I'd quite like cheap train fares) and the photo on it makes me look like the undead.
- I just watched Sin City on the tellybox and have only got good praisings to say. :D Moog likes. Lots of voice-over/narration and heavily stylised. ftw!
- Am off to the cinema tomorrow with my mother: we don't actively want to see anything that's on, but we want to go to the cinema (dark, film, chocolate, non-dog-clothes. Yes plz). We're thinking about Son of Rambow, because if not, we're consigned to Awake or 10,000 BC (which I can't stop saying in the voice of Voiceover Dude, you know, like, TEN THOUSAND B.C.), so, er, Son of Rambow y/n?
Sleepy tiem nao. Zzzz.

Those are amazing photos. It really is an enormous city, so sprawling and dense. You ever been to Rome? Thanks to this second semester of Classics, I now totally wanna go see eeeet!
You can wear pretty clothes when you see meeeeeeee. I will be wearing pretty clothes, oh yes. I hope the weather is good *has fingers crossed*. It'll probably be cold but bright, as per.

It is a huge city. What I found particularly awe-inspiring is when we visited the theatre of Dionysus, where Aristophanes' plays would have been performed during the festival of Dionysus; after studying the festival and the theatre in immense detail for the last couple of years, it was really, like, :O wows to be stood where all these people would have sat, and where all these plays would have been performed, and where all these different kinds of energies would have been, and, just, nnnngh. I'm talking crap. Sorry D:
I can bring the rest of the photos with me, if you like? I might not put them all here, so if you want to see more bits of Greece, I can bring them! (Also, some really daft pictures of me avec mes amis).
PRETTY CLOTHES. Did you say we were going out somewhere for dinner on the Tuesday? I CAN HAS A DRESS?
I've never been to Rome D: I really want to go. It would be amaaaaaazing.
NOMLES TIME IN 16 DAYS. ♥

No, I totally understand. That's exactly how I would feel. Awe-struck by the fact that you're standing right where they did all those years ago. It's how I would be in Rome and loads of places around the world that I have read about in Medieval History (e.g. Istanbul, nee Constantinople). I mean, I was freaking out wandering out Washington DC, all those places from TWW!
Yes, bring the photos with you! I wanna seeeee! And yes, I plan on taking you out for dinner on Tuesday, so bring a pretty dress to make you happy. It'll only be somewhere like Bella Pasta or Pizza Express though, as am Poor Student. Are those places okay?
MOOG TIME IN 16 DAYS. MOOG TIME *cue MC Hammer's Hammer Time music & a matching dance from Nomles*

Bella Pasta or Pizza Express are both totally fine, lovely face. And shhh your mouth, I am not letting you pay for it all. So there. (D'you know what's weird (I'm going to tell you now), I actually pictured us in Pizza Express for some reason. :O PSYCHIC).
DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH, DUH-DUH, DUH-DUH (CAN MOOG THIS).
ps: ALSO, you have seen some s4, so you can look at icon posts! Would you mind terribly scouting out
