I think I know why I’m blue these days

Posted on February 26, 2009 By admin 3 Comments on I think I know why I’m blue these days

I don’t regret moving to the UK. It was the right decision to do and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I’m applying for citizenship because I can see myself living here for a while longer. But for all of that, I’ve just come to the realization that one thing I really miss – aside from my family, of course – are the boys.

We used to see each other on a weekly basis. I miss the board game nights. I miss the gossip. I miss the general insanity that came along with having a close-knit group of friends that have known each other for years. This is something that I don’t have here, and I find I’m missing it.

This is even funnier now, given the fact that the cell phone in his pocket has now been put out of commission due to massive amounts of urine. Time to get Katy a new un-birthday present :)

Duckies!

Posted on February 26, 2009 By admin

Campus is full of ducks again. This makes me happy, in a very Tony Soprano-esque sort of way. Natwest seems to delight in jerking us around regarding our loan application – which so far has taken close to two weeks now. They say they are being “responsible lenders”. I say they don’t want to lend out money while the interest rates are so low and they’re stalling as much as they can. If they say no, I’m taking my business elsewhere. As in, closing all my accounts and giving them the big two-finger salute. Most UK banks are sitting on a cubic butt-load of government money which, in theory, they are supposed to give out to try and re-stimulate the economy. They’re like greedy three year-olds. MINE! MINE! MINE!

I hate banks.

So, in the meantime, I feed the ducks and try not to stress too much.
