good morning smiling kenyans in starbucks

and now, with added bonus thank yous!

thank you for aircon
thank you for not making fun of me when i ordered orange juice and fruit instead of coffee and a muffin
thank you for not putting any melons into my fruit bowl

yeah yeah, i know, one should not be so cheerful on a sunday morning that is actually a monday, but i'm excused...mid-life ghey and all that.

happy birthday misstiamaria!!!!!

thanks to craigclare, all of my doubts about michael jackson's death are answered.

the big question...answered here..

you know what irks me about hotels sometimes? that they charge for internet access. especially ones like hilton. for ffs, they're already charging a lot for the room. i'd rather they include internet instead of breakfast, since i'm never in the mood in the morning to go downstairs to a restaurant in the morning and sit there pretending to read a paper on my own like all the other people there.

i'd kill for a nap right now, but then i'm afraid i wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. suppose i could go do my shopping.

that i'm not limiting to girls filter...

i need an undereye miracle lotion/potion. i'm already a touche eclat addict, but i would love to find a day or night cream that banishes the circles and is a good overall eye cream.

dubai's got every brand available, i've tried la prairie, honestly it wasn't worth the 300$ price tag. clarins undereye flash is ok, but it's not a long term one, it just sorts out the morning puffy.

yes, this post is very vain, but i need the advise!

just read an article about siestas and how culturally relevant they are in warm cultures like the middle east.

therefore, when in rome (or in dubai), do as the romans do...

zzzz

i'm kinda getting the hang of this idea of 'weekend'. i worked a little today, phoned up pete and went to meet him at the shisha pit with just one phone. we drank lots of wine with several people and then went swimming. now i'm going to take a big sleeping pill and have the sleep of champions.

life doesn't suck sometimes.

goodnight world

is it wrong and selfish of me that i'm more consumed with my irritation at emirates managing to misplace my luggage 3 out of 4 times in one month than i am about jacko kicking it? have had cnn on for all of 15 minutes and celene dion and cher have both called into larry king to blubber about MJ. elizabeth taylor is 'too devastated' to make a statement. and madonna 'can't stop crying'. honestly, it's a lot more sad that farrah fawcett passed away.


what day is this anyway? it is really 05.23? where am i? and please can someone turn the volume down on my ears please?

have so much to catch up on. now in london emirates lounge, another 2,5 hour before flight.

i am having somewhat of a hard time remembering where i have been and when over the last month.

got to catch up with so many of my lovely london family over the weekend, capped off monday afternoon with drinks at prague bar and so happy that so many people came round for a drink, then dinner at kick bar with charlotte, stah, and viktoria.

the 23rd was not too bad, thanks to having vietnamese food in denmark with two of my favourite russians.

yesterday was pretty fantastic too...pelmeni at copenhagen's only russian restaurant with the aforementioned 2 russians and my favourite dane before 2 hours of all the fun and merriment of the GB gig. somehow it's just wrong though that i was the only one sober by evening's end.

i almost feel like i've been playing as much as working over the last week. that's pretty delightful. except tomorrow will be spent catching up on work.

i am beyond tired. but seeing my sister of splendorous foliage rehearse and getting a few cuddles from her has made all the miles worth it.

several things going on tomorrow, all of which are in different corners of town, therefore tonight is another very early chemically induced bedtime.

goodnight london

goodnight

can i please get a break? please???

on my way to take the car to the mechanic (which i later found out is a dying water pump...that'll be 300+ dollars, thanks), i get sideswiped by an idiot who doesn't know how to drive through a roundabout.

the perfectly shitty ending to a perfectly shitty week. and now i get to get onto a plane again tomorrow. not that i mind, because i now feel no love for kenya.

i'd really like to know where i belong. :(
