London is hella expensive man...

IT IS! i thought it's just only me but when i asked london natives they say the same thing. seriously i can't see how you can get ahead here financially here...

Tonight for example. i went out of course, because our weekend starts on wednesday (whee)! We ate korean and that amounted to 10.15 pounds each. and thats not that bad yet. went to a pub where i got a double shot rum&coke for 4.59 pounds. and then a beer for 1.59 (thats pretty cheap actually). and when they kicked us out they proceeded to another pub. at first i thought we were all going home but then what the heck. got a gin&tonic. 4 pounds. hello? i think maybe im just a cheap ass and the pound is in fact depreciating lah. ok whatever.

i think this post is really incoherent...because of the buzzz?! gahhhh.. i paid this much so i deserve to be a little buzzed out ok. you know what's *really* expensive, like surprisingly expensive? apples!!! 3 pounds for maybe 6 apples?! uhh welcome to london i guess.

. . . . .

on another note, the Genius feature thing in itunes is pretty... interesting. Below is the list of songs from my own library that Genius has thematically singled out for me:

somewhere only we know - keane
i knew i loved you - savage garden
stand inside your love - smashing pumkin
yellow - coldplay
stop and stare - one republic
closer - travis
happiness - goldfrapp
sweetest goodbye - maroon 5
come undone - robbie williams
love song - sara bareilles

im pretty emo arent i. never knew...

The Emo list could be a lot worse - like that annoying Hot White Tees song.

If you imagine the pounds to be dollars instead of actual pounds, it's only mildly expensive. But you're right, it's still ridiculous.
