Yesterday had excellent russian class. Skipped last week and clearly should never miss. Some gems:
"Russian people have no taste"
"Khrushchev. He was a peasant"
"They don't understand art"
"Having a double chin is okay. It's winter, people need fat"
"Don't describe yourself as greasy. Step up"
"This word is heavy. Hippopotamus"
Worked surprisingly. Went to concert at Jericho. Stopped at pub The Lamb and the Flag on the way w. rooms and had a cider and a pint. No dinner b.c "the kitchen closes at 3." Early for concert, met M. and split peroni, pear bear, and fruli, ie strawberry beer that was red and delishcious. Waited forever for band: First Aid Kit, these 2 adorable swedish sisters. V. good, but 2 opening bands was too much. Rooms really liked the drummer in one, friended him on FB, but kept saying abt the other band "they're so nerdy. so nerdy." Love her.
She was going to wear an outfit that made her look like Carmen Santiago, but she changed. Will make her wear it to next entz even if must drag her there in it. Don't know what theme is yet, but does not matter.
Wore v. intriguing tights/shorts/socks/boots outfit, and will probably repeat b.c quite liked. Got ice cream after it was over, also went to Hasan's and had chips/falafel/humus/chicken nuggets/garlic sauce/ketchup....but forgot the cheese! Such a bad move. But walked back to Catz and ate it in the JCR w. rooms, I hid french fries everywhere, and almost stole this plaid jacket we found. Rooms talked me out of it.
Beer always makes me feel shittier than other drinks, so woke up at 6:30 and thought "I'm in a volcano." Smart, right.
V. excited for food tonight. Might get some work done. Will see. Essay for tut tomorrow is mainly done, and reading for monday is done. Swinburne: they have but hours like tears to drink. More will be coming later. Read his Tristram of Lyonesse. Necessary.
Mmmmmm tears. Plenty of those in my fridge. No eggs, though.
