Catch up

There's a tried and tested joke that you've probably encountered already: A tomato family is travelling (or running, or walking) and the baby tomato is lagging behind. The daddy tomato looks back and barks at his son: "catch-up."
Say it out loud and it'll guarantee a little snort of derisive amusement.
Only reason I mention this is because I just labelled this post 'catch up' and that phrase always reminds me of that joke. And Uma Thurman mentions it in Pulp Fiction.

Anyways, I know I've been rubbish with this blog. And I could list a bunch of excuses, like how I've been too busy writing essays blah blah blah. So instead of me moaning, here's what actually happened:

1. I finished university!! Yay! I got a 2.1 in English Literature, and I graduate next Friday :)
2. I got accepted into Brunel University! So come September, I'll be starting an MA in Journalism (NCTJ accredited). I am shit scared.
3. I worked backstage at the Brighton Frocks Couture Show. More on that later (I promise I'll try!)
4. It's been 3 weeks since I last had any sushi.
5. I swear I've done more stuff worth mentioning...
6. ...does watching Lost, Alias, London gangster films, organizing my bookshelf and buying a corset count?
7. I bought a gorgeous black corset!
8. I'm off to see Wicked tomorrow.
9. I'll stop here.

I'm currently re-watching all of Alias, for two reasons: 1. I never really knew what the whole deal was with Prophet Five, and 2. Julian Sark.

Also, my friend Shuvo and I just planned an entire private jet idea. Corsets, assassins, and shisha. Yeah. Our airbus will bring Branson to his knobbly knees. (I don't know if his knees are knobbly. They're probably not, but knobbly and knees just go together).

I'm defying gravity tomorrow, so I should probably have a good night's sleep.

Happy summer. xx
