Anyways today I thought I would do something different from the updates I have been doing. I've basically been taking a trip down memory lane, but I want to talk to you all about what's happening NOW! haha or else I'll always be taking a walk down memory lane and after a while you just need a new street. ; ) I can't help but be incredibly cheesy haha
I've mentioned earlier that I have been sick alot here lately and unfortunately I just can't seem to kick this cold. I mean I thought I had, but then it started back again today....so once again I stayed in and slept incredibly late. On the plus side I did buy tickets to Les Miserables for my last night in England and I think spending the night in London is a great way to end things! = )
Plus that is a show I have always wanted to see....sadly I have never read the book completely, but I did listen to it on tape as a kid and I loved it. It's been a favourite ever since.
The weather has been amazing lately so I decided to venture out despite my sniffles and sneezes to walk around town and run some errands. My first stop was at the local movie theater to finally see Sex and The City 2. I've been dying to see that for over a year!! and I attended the premiere a week ago(being in germy condition at this premiere is what got me sick haha) so it seems especially weird that someone who met the whole cast and everything couldn't even get her butt to a theater to see the movie on opening weekend, but this stupid cold... haha Anyways I know that the movie has been receiving some harsh criticisms and frankly I expected that. When a perfect show makes a movie version of itself its bound to gain critics that argue its lost its touch, but the thing is...we know the Sex and the City: The Series is gone as we know it.....it will never be recreated, but these movies are great ways of seeing our old friends again and if you can see the movies for what they are I don't think you could be disappointed.
I went into it expecting maybe a tad less cheesy-ness, but overall I loved it. It was not quite as good as the first film, but I love the girls and will welcome any opportunity to see them again. = )
After that I managed to run some errands and go grocery shopping before retiring to my room for the rest of the night. = )
I would like to touch on one issue in England that has irritated me to no end. First, I just want to clarify that I love this country as much as my own, but we all have our pet peeves and mine just happens to be acceptable in England. I hate when people won't move for you when you're trying to get around them! At my local grocery store you have to use a coin to gain the use of one of their shopping carts...which is fine, but I usually don't want to hassle with finding a coin in my bag so i just opt for a basket. The problem is I usually wind up with a very heavy basket 10minutes into the shopping experience and while I'm fumbling and struggling to hold this basket and quickly get out of the store....people just stand in your way or push past you! I mean I can say a million "excuse me's" and some people here would never be phased. I don't get that. I feel like in the states we all have bubbles and we like to keep our distance from others even if that means moving so someone else doesn't touch us, but here everyone is a little tooooo comfortable being stuck around each other. Basically I would like to enter and leave a store without touching another person throughout the entire experience(hello I have a cold from the very thing) but no...we have to push people to get around them and we have to stand in peoples ways until their hands are dying under the pressure of their shopping basket....ughh
Oh well just a little venting = )
This has been a really boring blog, but my life has been a bit boring also. I think I'll make a special blog about my premiere experience! Maybe that might be something fun to hear about?
Sincerely,
Annie
