I miss vitamin D

So, I'm currently writing this post sat on the recliner grandpa chair, in my trackies, bath robe, wrapped in a sleeping bag, hot water bottle in lap and TOG 5 thermal socks on. I'm thinking to myself, why did I ever move here? It's too cold. Especially when you can't afford to have the heating on 24/7. Or maybe it's because I just had it too good in Spain? Either way the damp and the cold has been getting me down. It's scientifically proven that sun makes you happy- enter the very appropriately named illness SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), it's a form of depression most often associated to variations in exposure to sunlight.

Being the hypochondriac that I am, I was convinced I myself was suffering from SAD-ness. Solution? Sunbed. I went for 2 nine minute sessions and all was good in the world again. As much shit as sunbeds gets, if it makes you happy- do it. In moderation of course, I went twice during the space of a month and that was enough to pep me up.

Check me out last summer- nice and brown.

Pink Matter - remix

So my housemates and I have pretty much listened to Channel Orange non stop since it's release months ago. Then my brother told me Big Boi dropped a verse on the remix- oh holy mother with all thats good in this world.... can we have more Outkast feats on tracks? Oh hell, when is the new album dropping? Soon apparently...

My house and I love Frank so much- what a guy. He say's wise things like

HAAA.

Anyway here it is!!

New beginnings

New year = new beginnings. 

Hence why I did something I probably should have done over 3 years ago when I started university, I bought a new laptop!

My old trusty old friend had lasted me a grand total of 7 years and provided many good times but these days it was just a slow, noisy, dysfunctional mess. It was time for the old dinosaur to go to laptop heaven.

Thanks for everything old friend but now it's time for me to get on the new kid in town!!!

Funsies

Lovely Ladies

I am so glad this happened. Team Tina & Amy for life!!

N-Y-C

SO.... New York was so.much.fun.

Roosevelt Island

This trip was all about seeing people, as opposed to doing stuff. I went to do exactly what everyone else does at Christmas: eat, drink, sleep and watch movies... but I was in my favourite place in the world!!

I got to see my sister at her new place in Williamsburg- a new part of town I got to know (loved it!) and I tripped uptown to see my bestie & the rest of my NY family- it was good to be back.

Going back made me really happy :-)

My surrogate siblings 

Lil Tommy Tunes- the cutest puppy on the upper west side

I had the best time just chilling and it even snowed a couple times which is always magical :-)

Deserted park on Roosevelt Island

Brooklyn- first day out

Spending the first 3 days of 2013 in nyc was the best way to ring in the New Year!!

Chinese restaurant 01/01/13, 6am- unaware of anything and everything 

Deserted Small Pox hospital- my sister & I in the shadows

SO MUCH LOVE TO ALL OF YOU WHO MADE MY TRIP THE BEST <3<3<3<3

Hello iPhone 5.....

Oh em gee. I've just got with the times and hopped onto this iPhone madness. I'm still getting to know my lovely new sleek friend and getting a case for it asap as I do not trust my butter fingers! 

Posts to come this week, I promise!!

Sorreehhh

I'm sorry for being so lame and not posting at all over the last month. I have been so busy with work, with dissertation, being away on holiday. As soon as this deadline is done next week I promise to wow y'all with some cool shit.

HAPPY NEW YEAR BY THE WAY. Oh, also we are not dead (doomsday)! So I hope you all had a drink to celebrate life. And I hope 2013 brings all of you only the best of things. I was in NYC for the last 10 days over Christmas & New Years and I actually watched the ball drop at Time Sq real time on the tv (obviously I'm not stupid enough to actually go down there).  

P.S- The glasses had to be done.
