Hello my pretties! Unfortunately, being swamped with work and horribly inclined towards procrastination as I am, I cannot talk much. I'm setting out on a month long vacation soon, so it may or may not be a while before there's some coherent updates going on. Perhaps if I get access to internet while I'm traveling I'll throw down some wisdom, we shall see. I went to Brussels the weekend before last, and it was ok. Brussels was very indifferent. I don't know how else to describe it. The food, though? Ridiculous. Amazing. So good. Belgian waffle plus whipped cream plus fresh strawberries? Yes please. ANYWAY.
This past Monday, I went to this huge club called Fabric...great times ensued. It was a big student-oriented party, loads of crazy things, an inflatable hot tub, gladiator fighting, huge slides, bouncy castles, weird areas, glow sticks....I do not even know the full extent of the madness. Other than getting my dance party on, I've also managed to throw together a trip to France (Paris, Nice, Corsica, and Marseilles here I come!), buy a rail pass (10 days of travel!), and book a hostel in Prague (apparently it has a 'girls zone'?). Hopefully soon I'll book the remaining hostels, get my train reservations out of the way, actually plan out the latter portion of my trip, and set off on an adventure! I leave the 19th in the afternoon, and from there it is France for a week or so, then Prague, then Rome (maybe via a few hours in Venice and Florence...depending on trains), then a boat to Athens (sleep on a chair on the deck vs. sleep in an expensive cabin...), then a flight to Alexandria, then travel up to Syria (I got my visa!!!!), then back down to Amman, maybe Israel, then Egypt, rounding it all out with some Dahab action, hopefully. Yay travel! I just hope I a) finish my papers in time, and b) manage to somehow procure a suitable travel backpack by that time! Oh, life.
ANYWAY the point of all this is that my work ethic is basically zero right now, so I have been setting my mind to researching the best hostel in Rome and listening to dance remixes of awesome songs. I don't know if this will work, but hopefully it will? This song is amazing:
Benny Benassi - California Dreaming 2004(Remix) from http://owen.vox.com/
Also, for some quality dance party times, I would recommend one going to the excellent Manalogue and listening to the Justice remix they have there. It is quite excellent.
Ok kids that is it for now, I have to go maybe look at hostels, or maybe read about how free trade ruined the world, or whatever. Then I'm going to get fondue! (I'm really excited about the fondue...).
Kisses kisses!!!
