Not All Bad

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2001

Well the French aren’t all bad after all…today
there were no classes because everybody in the Uni went on strike. Why?
Was it the Afghan crisis, world hunger, pollution levels…? No, it was
gypsies.
For some reason a lot of gypsies live near campus and the
students have had enough so they’re forcing them out (I suppose,
although why me not going to class would make a gypsy move ‘house’ I
don’t know)….ANYWAY…

Last night I got quite drunk because George, an Irish guy who also
works at Bar Notre Dame, thought it would be wise to play drinking
games with a bottle of spirits each. I got lucky and got Tequila (not
the 50% rum) but still it was rough and this morning I felt a bit
peaky…

I hate having time limits on the internet…I think I’m going to get a phone line put in my appartment…

Tonight Carla, an Italian girl who speaks better English, French,
Spanish and Italian than me, is cooking me dinner…hopefully I won’t
feel the aftershocks from the Jose Cuervo while I’m at her place!

About Last Night

Friday, October 19th, 2001

Well Mr DJ..

Yeah I
did feel like a little bit of a dickhead when I opened my bag to find
the WRONG BOX OF MINIDISCS last night in the bar…luckily we had a
backup load of CDs but it pissed me off. The night went well though,
the bar was rammed from 9.30 till 12.00 and full before and after that.
I can’t wait to get my CDs from home for next semestre’s work there, it
should be pretty sweet…

Oh yeah, then the night went from good to excellent when I went with an
Italian girl and 2 Spaniards (1m 1f) to a bar called ‘Le Vieux Manoir’,
and the night ended extremely strangely when I ended up in a single bed
with a bottle of tequila and two other people…I’ll let your
imaginations do the rest…

I’m going to hopefully watch American Pie 2 tonight with a Canadian
called Zotos (how cool?!?!) and a girl from South America…Full
details to come…

How Annoying

Thursday, October 18th, 2001

This is so annoying…See I have to buy these
little top up shits for my electricity to continue to function, but as
I am me I kind of forgot and today the lights went out. And the hot
water. And the fridge. Shite. Have to go to some weird place to buy new
ones (and I tried to go today but their offices were shut - 45 minutes
walking well spent)…

Tonight’s the second night DJing in the bar…hope it’ll be good
because last week is a lot to live up to. All drinks are 10francs (6.5
Euros) (�1) so expect chaos if it gets busy…

I managed to enrol in an Italian course by convincing the woman that my
French was so bad that I couldn’t understand the word ‘Jeudi’ when she
said that all sign-ups were last week. Sweet.

The cool people at Uni are beginning to show themselves more and
more…and plus my talents are being recognised as they deserve to
be…I was simply walking with a basketball yesterday and a guy stopped
me and asked if I wanted to play for the University team. On further
examination however it isn’t quite as flattering because the team has
about 7 volunteers so far. Oh well…

If I remember anything else I’ll put it here…

DJOD Back In The Place

Friday, October 12th, 2001

Yeah well I don’t like to brag HAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT so I’ve got a job…DJing in a bar. So it’s not
somewhere that’ll be listed in Clubsindex.com just yet but
still it’s a really great place, the staff and boss is(are?) really
cool, and yesterday was the first day - there were probably 150 people
in there listening to me feeding them the classics…’Simon Says’,
‘Forgot about DRE’, ‘It’s Not Unusual’…it was megacool, plus I got
paid!!!!
On the downside of life, we got a bill today (in UK) for
£200 for the old gas bill. Shite. Mike and Amar better take note that
I’m coming for the money…

I’m tired.

Going to the cinema again tonight, but the culture level might be a tad lower than the last visit because:
a) I’ve seen the film before
b) It’s in English with French subtitles

…but still it’s a start, right? RIGHT?

I haven’t seen any news recently, but I’ve started to get some sort of
skin infection and all of my blood’s turned black. I think I might be
coming down with someth…..


*collapse*
