2005-09-04T12:17:00.000-07:00

for want of anything else to do - here are some pictures of fun...oxford style.

Scroll down for the piece de resistance. It was probably the highlight of my life, and i have to admit i must have looked mighty cool leaning out of the car at 100mph taking a picture of a roadsign

2005-09-04T12:16:00.000-07:00

yes...i was quite excited about my harvest

2005-09-04T12:15:00.000-07:00

BLOGGING HAS NEVER TASTED SO GOOD!
After the mini-crisis that was forgetting my blog password - it came to me suddenly while i was having a snack today! So here it is, the Greek Experience summed up in a few (decidedly lo-quality) snapshots. Though our suntans may have faded, our memories never will..... .... ....

start from the bottom and scroll up, OR ELSE.

hahah except for maybe this one

2005-09-03T17:33:00.000-07:00

i missed out more of the sordid details of this escapade... anna and i gathered MUCH photographic evidence, but i am the blogger who cares so i'm not going to post it all.

2005-09-03T17:31:00.000-07:00

everybody, meet frank

some A-class bamming in dubliners, prince of bars

2005-09-03T17:21:00.000-07:00

the germans were introduced to minge 10 minutes after we met them. We didn't see them much after that

2005-09-03T17:18:00.000-07:00

these looked good at the time. I think my inner photographer was trying (unsuccessfully) to claw its way out

tom thought this photo was a good golden mean example

2005-09-03T17:13:00.000-07:00

you see what i did here?

2005-09-03T17:12:00.001-07:00

the kraziness NEVER ENDS!

view from parthenon...it was high

2005-09-03T17:09:00.001-07:00

i like this one better

2005-09-03T17:09:00.000-07:00

the culture vultures went to the parthenon, which was magnificent...unlike this picture which has cranes in it

2005-09-03T17:08:00.000-07:00

lucy and laura...respect (i think i might start saying that for real!)

2005-09-03T17:06:00.000-07:00

we decided to immerse ourselves in greek culture through the joys of the hostel bar

2005-07-17T12:50:00.001-07:00

Dilemma: I have no photos from anna or douglas/sarah's - yet i have a craving for some uploading.
Result: I was forced to take....packing photos!!!

Some may argue that packing doesn't constitute a party. However, when you have the bedingfields pumpin' on the sound system and you crank up the volume...i beg to differ. So here it is - the revolutionary new breed of party photo.

After all, as willy wonka would say: "Chocolate is only one type of candy". The same goes for party pix.

2005-07-17T12:50:00.000-07:00

artily arranged packing boxes

2005-07-17T12:49:00.000-07:00

these photos just get more and more exciting

2005-07-17T12:48:00.000-07:00

i decided that it would be a good idea to take everything out of my cupboards and put it on the floor

2005-07-17T12:46:00.000-07:00

mess. Also, i had to throw away every single one of my heat magazines.

2005-07-13T21:34:00.000-07:00

Arghhh. All those times I have rammed all my stuff into my cupboards in the name of ‘tidying up’ have come back to kick me in the ass.
It’s like that thing on dr who which I can’t remember the name of - where you can fit loads of stuff in a really small space. Can someone please tell me what that thing is called, it's really annoying me now!

Anyway, instead of actually doing something productive, here are the photos from tuesday, in all their wackiness.
Also: notice i have uploaded twice today! this is more to do with procrastination than my (fading) love of blogging...

2005-07-13T12:33:00.001-07:00

we all want to live here

2005-07-13T12:33:00.000-07:00

clara brought a new person!

2005-07-13T12:32:00.000-07:00

yes- just to clarify they are indeed canadian

2005-07-13T12:31:00.000-07:00

rachel was determined to get some use out of her ranstad scarf. It actually looked pretty darn swell

2005-07-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

it looks like rachel is one of those puppets with the dislocated jaw. She tried to delete this photo...thankfully she succeeded not.

2005-07-13T12:27:00.000-07:00

this is what happened when i tried to block the red light from the camera. Ah the wonders of science

2005-07-13T12:26:00.000-07:00

laura wanted to make one of those foil-balls that rebecca made. I approve wholeheartedly! Here is where she was using the table to mould it.

2005-07-13T12:25:00.000-07:00

there are quite a few eating pictures...i was feeling hungry

Packing got uberboring, so here are some photos from the last day of school for your viewing pleasure.

2005-07-13T05:45:00.000-07:00

in a fit of end-of-school nostalgia laura and i decided to use our last ever free lesson taking photos of the school landmarks that have defined our academic life. So here is the sign above the lift

2005-07-13T05:43:00.000-07:00

the schoolhouse

2005-07-13T05:42:00.002-07:00

i wonder how much money i have spent here over the years?
