leeni - there is a light that never goes out

more plugging, but i swear no one pays attention to me,
and i'm sure if you actually listened to her you'd like her.
anyway.
linkage.

and and and

another mini rant about clothes shops:
why make the waist size of your jeans smaller, why are jeans now too tight for me, but the same size that i bought 5 months ago fit me perfectly, they may even be considered a bit too big.

can anyone recommend a good place to buy reasonably priced jeans?
im so fed up.

also.
im stupid, and read dates in the english way not the american way which means watchmen is out in march. how bloody exciting.

and.
it's xmas and my birthday in 3 months, i want the extravaganza to include a new ipod (ive already asked my dad and he had no objections) but i don't know whether to get a classic or a touch? i love my touchscreen phone, so the actual use of a touchscreen doesn't bother me, but does anyone know whats better? (jack i'm looking at you)

THANKS.

the excitement of spending money

i LOVE shopping.
mainly because i love that feeling when you get home and you have lots of bags and you take the labels off things and you try everything on again and its nice, even though you're really tired from walking around all day.

online shopping for clothes gets rid of all this excitement.
i HATE that you have to pay an extra £5 to get it the next day, and £4 for 2-3 days.
i also hate that i can't get student discount, cuz it only accepts nus extra cards online.
but most of all i hate that bloody parcel delivery people can't knock loud enough so anyone actually hears. losers.

don't get me wrong, i think sites like amazon and play make a lot of sense, they offer the same things you can get in the shops but for cheaper and with reasonable postage costs.

however, shops that have an online store (my example being topshop.com) just annoy me, they thrive on the fact that they barely stock larger sizes in store, which means people like myself who need a size 16 are stuck with paying an extra £4 on top of the normal price, with no discount, to buy the same clothes as the size 8 girls who just wander into the shop and find 5 of each item in their size.

rant over.

early morning/late night

please please please listen to this album
it's absolutely brilliant, i've listened to it about 4 times today, in a row.

also, new los campesinos! has leaked and i have downloaded and listened,
i'm not sure it's as instant as hold on now youngster, but i'm pretty sure it's just as good.
however, i haven't listened to it all the way through more than once.

and my final recommendation of the morning/night
is watchmen.
i haven't quite finished reading the graphic novel, though i'm not far off and it really is as fantastic as everyone says.

this is the trailer for the film coming out next year, i'm looking forward to it.
a lot.

new house

i'm all moved in to my lovely liverpool house.
things are good, apart from a few basics, for example, i don't have a chair for my desk and virgin havent given us the wireless router, and they can't get it to us til friday apparently.
we also don't know how to use the boiler, so the only hot water we have is from the downstairs electric shower.
cooking for ourselves is going to be strange, i need to do a shop but i don't know what to buy??
fed up of having to phone people, i hate phoning people, especially when they are UNhelpful.
i'm by myself at the moment cuz alice is at lectures, it's strange, its a big house and it makes lots of noise, unusual noise. and there's like an industrial strength fan in the room next to mine sorting out damp, thats loud too.
