My Oxford packet came today! Well, technically it came yesterday, but I didn't have my keys to get it. I think I have to get a couple of shots. Needles...::shudders::

By the way, does anybody know if there's really a Jordan College, or did Philip Pullman make that up? If it's real I want a sweatshirt. At some point I will have to type up my money worry/whinge, but probably not today because OMG I'M GOING TO SEE U2 TOMORROW NIGHT. With everything that's been going on, it still hasn't really HIT me.

Notes to self: mail Meg's postcard today -- scratch, since of course I forgot to put the address on it. Addendum -- mail postcard tomorrow; also take packet home to fill out and turn in passport application, and take two more pictures at WalMart on account of somehow losing a pair.

Another example of a thought digression I will be leaving out of my report: today I was making a list of celebrities to stalk in the UK. There's Jack Davenport, of course, and Orlando Bloom, and the rest of the cast of "Coupling" and Mick Jagger and Kate Winslet and Sir Ian and Keira Knightley and James Purefoy and Paul Bettany and Bono, of course, and Sean Connery and Sam Neil and Ioan Gruffudd, and George Clooney's Italian villa and Johnny Depp if I get across the Channel...

All right, fine, I'll go study for my Stat midterm now.

Sorry to tell you, but Kate Winslet has been living in the US for a while. She and Sam (Mendes, hubby) do own a compound of sorts in a small farming village south of London. If that helps.

That it does! Heck, you may see them there; they just finished renovations on the house.

no Jordan College - sorry! all the one's in Will's Oxford are real though. Have you read Lyra's Oxford, the companion book?

you have no idea how excited I am that you're coming over here - you know I'm going to stalk visit you don't you?

also, you *have* to come and visit London! me and Tig can do one of our patented Ship-Pr0n tours of Greenwich for you!


by the way, Johhny Depp has a flat in London. He's not there very often, but I know approximately where it is...

Damn! That would have been the ultimate geekware. Ah well. I have Lyra's Oxford, although oddly enough I've never read it. Never reread The Amber Spyglass for that matter, even though I've read the first one umpteen times. I don't think I really want to get to the end.

Oh yes, I plan to storm your bookstore :)

Johhny Depp has a flat in London

*squeak* Really? I'm there!

we only know which area Johnny Depp lives in - we saw him in our local off-license once :-)

also he owns a bar in Islington with Shane McGowan which we can visit

and you're *always* welcome in the shop. drop me a line on lolita_stardust @ yahoo . com and I'll arrange something fun

Oooh, you lucky duck! Big congrats on the whole upcoming going-to-Oxford experience. :) Although, Paul Bettany lives in New York and I believe Orli lives in California now. Otherwise there are plenty of celebs still across the Pond for you to stalk. Jack Davenport alone is worth the effort. *eg* And Johnny...!

Oxford. Wow!
