Mar. 28th, 2005 12:53 amAfter going into town yesterday and shopping with Andy after having my proper Scottish breakfast (sometime in the early afternoon, which just makes sense, really), we got back and sort of sat around a bit. Andy left shortly to go back over to the theatre for his call for the show. KJ made some dinner - some sort of sweet chile chicken noodle thing with Kung Pao sauce that she calls, "Kung POO."
Walked over with Andy's other flatmate to the Lemon Tree, and stood out in stuff that resembled rain, but was more like uniform windy spitting cold wet stuff. Met up with several others, and bought up tickets held at the window, had a seat with Christina and KJ and then 'the Americans' (Sarah, Sara, and Jessica), with a row in front of us fulla other people in their social circle.
The show ... was OK! Andy was hysterically funny - every time he came on stage a bunch of us just started giggling, because he was always so in character and totally on with all his moments. The show as a whole, however, was really, really slow. Man, that show coulda been about half as long, because the pacing was molasses-like in spots, and sort of loping along casually in others. I've been told that this is pretty much the director's fault, and I think it's pretty obvious. The actors really saved the whole production from sinking in on itself. Andy really was funny, though.
After the show was a bit of shuffling with dropping people back at their places and grabbing of bottles of alcohol and things, and then we headed over to Jamie's house for the cast party. We were among the first to show up, and so KJ was assigned to making a score sheet for Beer Pong, which was happening in a room in the basement. Also, apparently, the theme for the party was "The O.C., so everyone had summer clothes on, and Hawaiian shirts and crap. All were VERY amused that I'd never even seen an episode of the show, and I said, "Well, I'm in theme. My dad lives in SoCal, so there." OK, he doesn't live in Orange County, but shut up.
I ... drank a lot of vodka. I think KJ poured a good three our four fingers' worth of it into a lemon fizzy concoction, and I was well on my way to swimmy vodkaland by the time Andy arrived with a bunch of the other actors. There was a second vodka lemonade consumed, with even more vodka, and apparently! Apparently, ANOTHER vodka drink with cranberry this time, that I didn't even remember drinking until they reminded me of it this morning. Wheee. So I watched people play Beer Pong, and had totally nonsensical conversation with some girl, and then took a whole handful of blurry photos right at the end, and on the interminable walk back to the flat, somewhere around 4 in the morning or so. I don't even remember.
Woke up this morning still a little drunk, and not even hungover. Lazed about, killed Chris and Andy in Halo 2 quite a lot (Ivory Tower, slayer, first to 10), then headed over for dinner at Becca, Chris, and Frodo's place. Every Sunday they all trade off making dinner, and so this evening we had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with veggies, and I kept eating Cadbury Mini Eggs and all told it was a very nice, quiet Easter. We played a guessing game after dinner where we took rolling paper and wrote names of persons on them, and then stuck them to each others' foreheads. We had to ask yes or no questions to determine who we were, since we couldn't see what was on the paper stuck to our heads. First I was Stewie, and then I was Ronald McDonald. I papered Becca's head with George Bush, and then had Frodo be Lemony Snicket. It was very laid back and fun. We also watched Team America as we ate dinner.
America, fuck yeah!
I think I am getting along with everyone pretty well. It's weird to think that I will be heading home this Wednesday. I already feel quite at home here, and acclimated to pretty much everything, but at the same time, I just got here! And I gotta go already? Man.
Time flies when you're swigging vodka like water, I guess.

Mar. 28th, 2005 03:38 pmThis has definitely been one of the most anti-touristy vacations I have ever been on.
And you know what? That's OK.
This morning KJ made some eggs on toast, and now I've got tea, and I've been lazing around with Andy. Outisde is dull and grey and quiet - it's a bank holiday, dontcha know. We watched the first episode of Doctor Who, which Andy had recorded, and it was actually lots of fun. Still cheesy as hell in spots, but you know what? It still had a lot of the twists and quirks that made the show what it was back when my mom would let me stay up late and watch episodes when I was a kid.
I think we're going to watch more Black Books now, with the very cute Dylan Moran, and then we're going out for Indian later.
Life is good, OK? Yep.
