but it's hard to get by when your arse is the size of a small country

The problem with taking the National Express anywhere is that I ALWAYS get this song stuck in my head for days afterwards.

My weekend was AWESOME; my brother and I got the coach down to London and we stayed with Zel and Sam ([livejournal.com profile] lazy_daze), who we hardly ever get to see anymore. We spent the weekend doing stuff like ~decadently sitting around in pubs in the middle of the afternoon, and walking along the South Bank in the sunshine (I now want to rewrite my little bang fic to add in lots of cool little details, like the awesome steampunk-y ship sculpture we saw), and being philistines in Tate Modern (the only thing we really loved was the giant table and chairs). We also drank the most expensive pitcher of Pimm's ever (£17.80!!) but it was delicious and totally worth it. The only bad thing about the weekend (except the tube failing massively) was that Zel had to work so we didn't get to see her as much. :(

The other cool thing we did was to FINALLY see HBP, at the IMAX. I think since PoA we've seen all the Harry Potter films together for the first time - I vividly remember when Sam and I queued up outside the Odeon to see PoA at 9am, and we were the second people there - so it was nice to carry on that tradition. I really loved the film, and seeing it at the IMAX was AWESOME - the first part of it was in 3D and it looked amazing.

Then we went back home (sadface) and today we had a family get-together for my niece's thirteenth birthday. And, wow, that sentence makes me feel ANCIENT. As does the fact that she's 5'10 and looks about seventeen.

I'm so unused to being so ~busy (lol) that it's quite nice to finally have an evening to flop. I have fic to catch up on and True Blood to watch, yay! :D

awww...haha, I remember wandering around the Tate Moern one of the few times I was high and laughing my ass off until I came across some f-uped video of a soldier repeatedly fallig down from a wound. Then I just got pranoid. But still: fond memories.

LOL, I imagine that walking around Tate Modern while high must be quite a surreal experience! Totally trying that next time I go
