Recently Stuart signed up for Lovefilm, which is also accessible on his PS3, so we've been watching quite a lot of films on there.
We also get films on Blu-Ray discs sent to us. We saw Iron Man 1 and 2, Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Ratatouille recently. Stuart's catching up on the Harry Potter films because the seventh film is out and he wants to see the earlier ones before we go to the cinema to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was quite good. I prefer the first one, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, though. Prince Caspian had an awesome song when the credits came on, which I am now totally in love with, and have on repeat. It's a song by Regina Spektor, called The Call.
The lyrics are on the video, so I'm not going to bother posting the lyrics. But it's a truly gorgeous song and always makes me feel like crying.
ANYWAYS...
Graduation Day was yesterday and Stuart took the day off to see me graduate. It was bloody freezing, although not as bad as last week. In fact, it was nice and sunny, which was quite a change from the usual gloomy fog. We didn't stay long after the graduation ceremony, just long enough to take some pictures and then we left for home, where we had lunch and then promptly fell asleep because we were so tired.
We woke up around 5.30pm, just in time to go out for dinner. For a graduation celebration treat, Stuart took me to Sinatra's, which is a totally awesome restaurant just off Angel Row. I had lamb which was quite yummy, but Stuart's steak was gorgeous. I think we'll be going back there again, although maybe not too soon because it was rather pricey.
After dinner, we went to the cinema to see Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. It's a Finnish film, but it has bits of English in it and is subtitled. It was quite good, although bordering on ridiculous, but still, I quite enjoyed it. When we got home, we watched an Icelandic Film called 101 Reykjavik, which came highly recommended from Stuart. It was interesting, to say the least, but it wasn't too bad, and it was pretty funny at some bits.
Stuart's got his Christmas work dinner tonight, so I'm going to have to scrounge around for some food, hehe. Holly was supposed to come up to Nottingham tonight but her plans fell through so I have nothing to do tonight. Stuart said he wasn't going to stay out late, but then again last time he said that, he came home very drunk at 5am. I really want to get out of the house for a bit, but I have to wait around for a delivery between 3pm and 4pm, so basically I can't go out.
Right. I'm off for a nice hot cup of tea. Hopefully there's something nice on TV.
Oh, and... ONLY 15 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!! :) :) :)

Master of Science, Snow and 25 days to Christmas!
I meant to write this post 2 weeks ago, but I've been busy.
I GOT MY MASTERS, BITCHES!!!
I got my results back from university 2 weeks ago. When I woke up on Monday morning, I suddenly remembered that results would be posted online, and so I rushed to check it out. When I saw on the portal under "Qualification Awarded" it said "MSc", I literally bounced around for joy. I rang Stuart immediately, since he knew how nervous I was about my results, and he didn't pick up immediately. He rang me back at once and I wanted to scream down the phone but Tsomo was still sleeping, heh. I called Mom and Dad right after that to tell them the good news. Right now I'm just waiting for the right certificates and letters to apply for my Post-Study Work visa. In between I've been applying for jobs, but no news on that right now.
Weather in Nottingham has been ridiculously cold for November. Granted, it is the last day of November today, but it's been SNOWING. I don't remember it snowing in November last year. Apparently it's been snowing so bad that schools and colleges in Nottinghamshire have closed. There are lots of happy children around, haha! As much as I love how the snow makes everything look so pretty and wintry and Christmasy, I absolutely hate it when it melts and freezes over, making everything icy and slippery. I had to go out to the post office today to send a book I managed to sell on Amazon.co.uk, and it's horrible. I'm so afraid of slipping and falling straight on my ass! Apparently the snow's going to get much worse. Some parts of the UK are affected really badly, with people snowed in and unable to get groceries because the stores couldn't get stock in.
Stu and I were talking about Thanksgiving a while back, and we decided that it's silly that Thanksgiving isn't celebrated here, and so I decided to make Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. I was going to make Thanksgiving dinner on Friday, but it was Mongolian Independence Day, so Tsomo made dinner instead and invited Jokha, Subha and James over. We played a few drinking games after dinner, which was very yummy, but I didn't get very far. Halfway through chatting and playing poker, I suddenly noticed it was snowing outside and practically screamed "IT'S SNOWING!". Tsomo and I were so excited and we ran downstairs to jump around in the snow and take pictures. The boys were all losers and stayed inside.
Saturday was spent in bed nursing a hangover, watching movies and having Chinese takeaway from Ocean City, conveniently located across the street. Did I mention that I love living so close to the city? Hehe!
I'm just sitting in bed now listening to Christmas songs. ONLY 25 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!! :) Pretty obvious I can't wait for Christmas, heh. Won't be the same without Uncle Francis, though. Sigh. It'll be the first Christmas without him, and it'll definitely be difficult to get through, since Christmas was always one of his favourite holidays and he always made a huge deal out of it.
Oh wells. I'm off for another cup of nice hot tea and to listen to more Christmas songs.

Early Christmas presents :)
So, Stu and I were supposed to keep our Christmas presents for each other a secret, but it got way too tempting. So on Monday, when we were walking to Peachy Keens to have dinner, we decided not to keep it a secret any longer. :)
I got Stu tour passes to Silverstone, since he's such an avid Formula One fan. Stu got me the most amazing present I've ever gotten (after the iPod from Uncle Francis), and it so happened that it was on my Christmas list! He got me a HTC Desire Z! Stu said he saw my blog post with my Christmas list after he'd ordered the phone, so it seemed like he'd read it and then got something off my list. Haha. It got delivered to his work yesterday after he'd left, and he very cleverly said he was going to Budgens to pick up some stuff for dinner, when he'd actually called a taxi and went all the way back to work to pick it up. :)
I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!!! It's sleek and gorgeous and really easy to use! It also has all these amazing apps that I could never get to work on my Nokia N97, which is now going to go to my dad. I LOVE MY PHONE! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! :) :) :)
On another note, I LOVE MY AWESOME BOYFRIEND TOO! :) :) :)
Well, since we'd effectively 'ruined' Christmas Day (we didn't really, but meh), we decided we'd get each other another gift each to be opened on Christmas morning. I was at a loss at what to get Stuart, but then I suddenly had a brainwave, and so I've already purchased his second present. I hope he likes it. :)
We're going to London this weekend for the last F1 race of the year (I think). Dave will be driving us, so we've all made our own roadtrip mixes. Mine is AWESOME. (hehe)
I'm going to end this post here now. Going to play Angry Birds on my phone! *squeaks happily* :) :) :)
Geez, I used a lot of smiley faces in this post. Heh.

Settling in properly
So, things have been going great.
I got my results back last week. They're not great, in fact some of them are quite shitty, but it's still not too bad. I got 58 for my dissertation, which I'm quite psyched about. Still haven't got back the marks for the examinations I re-sat in the summer. Just got to wait on those to come back before I get my overall mark for my degree.
I FINALLY set up the account for the flat to pay council tax. Turns out we have to pay about £200 between the two of us! Ridiculous! :(
Halloween was spent in Ocean. Holly went as a dead girl, and I went as a cowgirl (with the boots and hat and everything!). Ocean was packed and we ended up going back around 1am because it was boiling hot and some dickhead threw a full bottle of VK into the crowded dancefloor and it went all over both of us, ruining an otherwise good night.
On Sunday, Stu and I were invited to Dave and Hayley's for Sunday lunch and to book our holiday to Prague. It's all booked now, and we're going to Prague on my birthday! Woohoo! Of course, this is if I get my visa in time.
I bought a few simple cross-stitch pieces from John Lewis. I forgot how much I loved to do that. I wonder if the sewing books that Uncle Francis gave me are still around. I'm doing a small piece right now, of Mr. Happy. Unfortunately I've run out of the red thread for the balloon Mr. Happy is holding, so the piece is still unfinished. Grr.
Stuart and I have been playing Rock Band a lot lately. I bought Rock Band 3, which came out recently, and Lego Rock Band last week, and we spent this weekend playing Rock Band which is awesome! :)
Anyways, I can't think of anything to get Stuart for Christmas. Boys are so hard to get gifts for. Girls are a breeze! Of course, no one should ever give gift vouchers, unless they're someone you don't know very well. Otherwise it's just really impersonal.
I'm gonna put together a list of things I want for Christmas (because I'm very bored and Veronica Mars is over.). Obviously, a lot of them are impractical or simply wishful thinking, but whatever, it's MY list! :)

Long awaited post
Wow, almost a month ago since I last blogged.
Ok, quick post before I have to go get ready to go out to dinner with Okkar.
FINALLY!!! I HAVE INTERNET IN MY FLAT! :) :) :)
I heard this song on the new BT advertisement on TV and I'm in love with it! It's called Corner by Allie Moss, and it's such a gorgeous tune.
When your world trembles and quakes
And your footing suddenly shifts and shakes
Take my hand
We'll hide in the corner, hide in the corner
Take my hand
We'll hide till it's over, till it's all over
We have choices to make
We have promises that we can't break
There is nothing left to lose
So hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
Take my hand
We'll hide in the corner, hide in the corner
Take my hand
We'll hide till it's over, till it's all over
So, it's been just over a month since moving into the new flat. I really like it here. If I get a job in Nottingham, I might renew my contract for this flat. It's in a good location and spacious enough. The only drawback is the traffic noise from the road outside. I've almost forgotten what it's like to live in a quiet place.
Things so far are going great. Stuart and I have our ups and downs but it's all part and parcel of being a couple. That's what I love about being in a relationship. Yes, I know it sounds silly that I like the fact that we argue sometimes, but I think it's good for a couple to argue. In fact, arguing is just creative discussion :D Ok whatever. (You can tell I don't actually have a clue what I'm writing, I'm just typing whatever comes to mind as I'm sitting here on the sofa.)We've been talking with his friends David and Hayley about going to Prague for a holiday in January or February. I've never been before but always wanted to, so it'll be good. I just need to have my visa by then so I can actually go in and out of the UK easily.
Job-wise, that's going a bit slow for now. I've put a few applications through but nothing solid has come about yet. Plus, before I actually get my visa it'll be hard to get a job. Might do some work at the charity shop or get a part-time job. Christmas is coming up (CAN'T WAIT!!!) so maybe I can find some temp jobs to earn some extra cash.
Stu and I have been going through How I Met Your Mother pretty fast. Last weekend, we finished half of Season 1 and all of Season 2 (with Stu very drunk on a bottle of JD on Season 2). This weekend will probably be spent doing that. I like weekends where we just sprawl out on the couch and do nothing but watch TV episodes and movies. :)

Moving House
I've moved house!
No more student accommodations! I'm out in the real world, paying proper rent and having to worry about electricity and water bills! Wheeeee!
I'm living with my friend Tsomo from Mongolia in Ropewalk Court, which is really close to town. It's such a convenient location! There's a Budgens less than a minute's walk away and there's a Chinese restaurant right opposite the flat. If I wanted to go into town, it would take only about 10 minutes to walk into the centre of town! Plus, there's a nice pub, Hand & Heart, right downstairs! I love it!
Lovely lovely Stuart took half a day off on Friday to help me pack and move all my and Tsomo's stuff from Opal to the new flat. We packed as much as we could and then we left around 4pm to go to the agent's office to sign contracts and deal with all the paperwork.
Tsomo and I hired a van to move the stuff. It's lucky we did, with the amount of boxes and bags we have! The van guy, Mark, was such a lovely man. He only charged us £25 for the 2 trips it took to move all our belongings, and he even helped carry heavy bags and boxes up to our flat. He provided us with a trolley, and it broke (probably from the sheer weight of our things!)! We felt really bad about it, and gave him £30 instead, since he was so nice and helpful. Tsomo's friend Orod came to give a hand, as did her boyfriend Craig, who was here for the weekend. Thank God for the 4 big strong men!
Surprisingly, the moving in only took about 3 hours. We started pretty late, only getting the keys at 5.30pm. The last box was moved in around 8.30pm, and we lounged around resting for awhile before we headed out to New Ocean City, the Chinese restaurant just right across the road, for a well-deserved dinner (especially for the guys!).
The weekend was spent unpacking and tidying up. We had our first "family" dinner, as Tsomo put it, on Sunday. Stu and I made apple crumble (which was OH-MY-GOD-deliciously-yummy-as-hell) and Tsomo and Craig made beef and onion cous-cous, which was also very, very tasty.
I'm looking forward to this week. Aside from having to work like mad to finish up my dissertation, which is totally doable, I'm sure, the 32" TV I've ordered is arriving either tomorrow or on Thursday, which means we can watch stuff on a nice, big screen, and Stu can finally play on his PS3 (that, I'm not so thrilled about :P) We're also having a housewarming party on Friday, which'll be fun. I've also been slowly packing stuff away and throwing away things I don't need. Next step is to sort through my piles of clothes and shoes and give anything I don't want to charity. Then after that, job hunting shall ensue! I'll have a mini-break after my dissertation's handed in, and then start applying for jobs. I'm pretty sure it won't be easy to find one, given the current economic climate.
Ok, that's all for now. Stu should be back soon, so I'm gonna go start preparing dinner. :)

The Doors tribute band, drunken antics and stomach flu
Hmm, more than a week since I've updated.
I'm starting to really like 30 Seconds to Mars. Jared Leto (who starred in Requiem for a Dream) is lead singer of the band. I made a horrifyingly embarrassing mistake the other day when I asked Stu what band was Jay Leno in, when I meant Jared Leto. Haha! I always mix up the two.
Anyways, I'm putting up my two favourite songs from the band. I think Jared Leto's voice is pretty amazing. Maybe if he didn't scream as much, it would be even better.
A Beautiful Lie
Closer to the Edge
This song sounds a little like Chris Daughtry's Feels Like Tonight, especially the chorus. I've posted the song below so you can listen and compare.
Chris Daughtry looks a little like Vin Diesel. Ok, random comment. Heh.
Well, update about my life the past week. Can't really remember anything significant that happened last week, apart from the weekend.
Stu and I were just chilling out in my flat on Saturday when he suddenly decided to start drinking, so I joined him. About half an hour later, he mentioned Gordon was out and wanted to meet up. Since we owed him drinks, we decided to go out. I was a little tipsy after 3 vodka and lemonades, but as it turned out Stu was far more drunk than I thought he was, since he'd already had about 5 Jack Daniels and cokes.
We met up with Gordon at The Orange Tree, which is quite a nice place. I got hungry half way through and ordered spiced lamb skewers, which didn't turn out to be quite worth the £6 I paid for them. Gordon was going to meet up with Vlad and some other people for a Doors tribute band later, and somehow we found ourselves going to The Rescue Rooms. So Saturday was my very first real gig! Well, sort of, since it is a tribute band after all! Although I still think the Avril Lavigne concert was a gig too! (Of course, Stuart disagrees with me. Sigh.)
It turned out to be pretty good. I didn't know any of the music, but it was alright. I ended up getting pretty drunk by the end of the night, but Stu takes the prize for being the most drunk. Haha! I'd never seen him so wasted before, so it was both very funny and slightly annoying.
After the gig, we went for fish and chips because we were all rather hungry, and then headed to The Social for more drinks before heading home. When we got home, I thought Stuart had sobered up quite a lot, since he'd only had a coke at The Social, but I was wrong. He was still rambling on when we went to bed, and half the stuff he said hardly made sense to me. To be fair, I guess I was quite drunk too. I think at some point we argued about something too, haha.
Sunday was spent in agony. I'd caught some kind of stomach flu, and I found myself running to the bathroom every 15 minutes. It was horrendous. I couldn't even sleep properly at night. At one point, I even fell asleep on the bathroom floor to save getting in and out of bed. It lasted till Wednesday. My stomach's still pretty weird, but at least the crippling pain's stopped and I can at least keep food and drink down. Overall this week's been fairly rubbish.
Hey, at least it's Friday now, right? :)

Stu and I were just chilling out in my flat on Saturday when he suddenly decided to start drinking, so I joined him. About half an hour later, he mentioned Gordon was out and wanted to meet up. Since we owed him drinks, we decided to go out. I was a little tipsy after 3 vodka and lemonades, but as it turned out Stu was far more drunk than I thought he was, since he'd already had about 5 Jack Daniels and cokes.
We met up with Gordon at The Orange Tree, which is quite a nice place. I got hungry half way through and ordered spiced lamb skewers, which didn't turn out to be quite worth the £6 I paid for them. Gordon was going to meet up with Vlad and some other people for a Doors tribute band later, and somehow we found ourselves going to The Rescue Rooms. So Saturday was my very first real gig! Well, sort of, since it is a tribute band after all! Although I still think the Avril Lavigne concert was a gig too! (Of course, Stuart disagrees with me. Sigh.)
It turned out to be pretty good. I didn't know any of the music, but it was alright. I ended up getting pretty drunk by the end of the night, but Stu takes the prize for being the most drunk. Haha! I'd never seen him so wasted before, so it was both very funny and slightly annoying.
After the gig, we went for fish and chips because we were all rather hungry, and then headed to The Social for more drinks before heading home. When we got home, I thought Stuart had sobered up quite a lot, since he'd only had a coke at The Social, but I was wrong. He was still rambling on when we went to bed, and half the stuff he said hardly made sense to me. To be fair, I guess I was quite drunk too. I think at some point we argued about something too, haha.
Sunday was spent in agony. I'd caught some kind of stomach flu, and I found myself running to the bathroom every 15 minutes. It was horrendous. I couldn't even sleep properly at night. At one point, I even fell asleep on the bathroom floor to save getting in and out of bed. It lasted till Wednesday. My stomach's still pretty weird, but at least the crippling pain's stopped and I can at least keep food and drink down. Overall this week's been fairly rubbish.
Hey, at least it's Friday now, right? :)
