"There is no other day / let's try it another way"
No London for me. At least not right now. Instead I had a Pizza at a "Chippie" (Fish And Chips Shop, a place that sells all that is fried and unhealthy). And I tried one of the two Scottish Specialities: A deep-fried Mars Bar. Imagine a mars bar being coated in something weird, dough-like, and then fried for a few minutes. You end up with some delicious chocolaty thing that is incredibly fatty and unhealthy. Apparently, the owner of the shop told me, last night one guy ate 8 1/2 of them. He came back this morning, feeling rather sick. So now he is applying to the Guinness Book of World Records. I mean, eating 8 1/2 normal mars bars might seem reasonable, but the same amount fried... I feel sick at the thought of just one fried one after this evening ;) .
The other speciality is some weird meaty thing called Haggis. Or Black Pudding. And I don't intent to try that so very soon. But I shall soon attack the fried snicker bars :D ...
Also, they seem to fry anything you want them to fry. We thought about fried marshmallows and fried grapes, anyone have any other ideas ;) ?
Oh, and I watched my first episode ever of "The Family Guy" this evening. What a hilarious series...
And finally, an example of the simplistic art of student life: A picture of a banana holder including banana, placed before a typical power socket with one white and one black plug. Taken in a flat in Albany Park, a residence where six people each live in a mini-house with a shared kitchen and living room.
I will go to bed now and see what dreams I'll come up with... which reminds me that the only dreams I can really remember since coming here have been of my roommate, twice. I used to dream of him when he was gone Friday nights, and I dreamt of the moment he would come back and the kinds of things he would bring into the room. I don't know yet whether those dreams indicated wishful thinking or fear (especially since I can't remember the objects he was bringing in) ;) . I stopped dreaming of him eventually. And he stopped leaving on Fridays. I had other dreams, nice ones, but as soon as I woke up they were half-gone again already...
Or maybe I should just fall asleep with music again...

Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
