"It's cheaper than a movie and there's free coffee"

I feel like you all have an awful lot of catching up to do, and by that, I mean I've been slacking in the blogging dept.

I've been busy - leave me alone.

Let's see...ok - ice bar. I went to the ice bar on Tuesday. It was cold. I couldn't resist the urge to smash one of the made-of-ice glasses on the floor. I didn't get kicked out for it, but if I would have, it totally would've been worth it.

For Halloween, I had the BEST COSTUME EVER. I was Marla Singer from Fight Club, and it was amazing. Allen was Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. ALSO AMAZING. We went on a boat cruiseon the Thames for Halloween with our school, and it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of American fun, but fun nonetheless. I didn't get to carve a pumpkin, though. Sad.

On Thursday night I went to the Electric Ballroom in Camden to see Against Me!, one of my favorite bands. It was a hell of a show, and I only came away with minor injuries (a few clawmarks to the face is a small price to pay, right?) They gave the best performance of "Walking is Still Honest" I have ever seen, and "Americans Abroad" was crazy - the audience LOVED it. They closed with "We Laugh at Danger (and Break all the Rules)", which is the song I remember most from I when I saw them for the very first time my freshman year with Sean in a basement in Omaha. They're so good - seriously, people - follow my little linky thingies and look them up. You'll thank me later.

Also, the Two Gallants are playing on Nov. 14th at the Koko Theatre in Camden. I am soooo there.

And on Friday, I had my first poetry feature. It went pretty well, I'd say. I didn't make a complete ass of myself, but I did feel a little nervous. I need to work on that whole being comfortable with small talk in front of a bunch of people thing. I'd post a picture of me actually doing a poem, but I'm realizing that I just don't look good when I talk - I'm constantly making some kind of weirdo face, so if you want to see it, you'll just have to wait 'til I get back! Ha! Maybe I'll record my next feature (Nov. 28th at the Poet Cafe in Covent Garden) and post the video. Don't hold your breath.

Also on Friday, we met up with Ann H-P (also from UNL, studying in France this year) who was visiting for fall break. We met her at Westminster Abbey , which was sooo beautiful. Right now I really have to pee, and I have 2 mid-term reviews this week to prepare for... yikes. Pray for me.

Oh, wait! I created my "No, really - I'm a poet, I swear!" myspace page: www.myspace.com/stacylfox If I haven't added you yet, it's probably b/c you don't accept adds from bands, which is ridiculous. I am clearly not a band. Add me.

That is all.
