bonjour, hola, domo arigato, NI HAO!!!

Hello blogville, i know it's been a while since our last rendezvous. Forgive my neglect, there's been quite a bit going on in my life recently. New job, new city, new friends, new (quite short-lived) relationship...yes...been busy days.

So what's been going on with me? I now live in london (yay!) where I have learned to be so deliciously inconsiderate and at the same time so brilliantly polite. (I'm telling u it's a skill).
But really, london's been a blast so far, by far the most fun I've ever had. In the short 2 months that I've lived here, I've been to:

*the Miss Ghana UK 2008 pageant...i had planned to write an entire blog on that alone...GH has some FOINE women (36-24-46 is by no means an exaggeration)...for that I will forever be indebted to my Ghanaian flatmate for taking me.

*the London Eye...wasnt a bad time, (the free champagne helped) but it certainly doesnt live up to the hype. Yay i'm 200ft above ground and i can see for miles...blah

*a boat party...getting drunk on a boat is so much easier than on dry land...was a good night

*karaoke and sushi night.... i was surprised at how much fun i had, it would seem i have a soft spot for cheese...i lost my voice that night...and after 2 weeks i still have a sore throat from it...and who would have thought i'd like sushi?

*POESY...my church's open mic night...there's some DEEP poets out there...i need to up my game man

*the Jazz Cafe to see Mike Aremu (the saxophonist)....this one deserves it's own blog...this man is a LEGEND! The most fun i've had in a looong time...at one point dude held a note (and i'm not exaggerating) for 5 minutes....WHAT? people were going CRAZY

and there's been a few other events here and there but i say all that to say this...I LOVE THIS CITY!!!

I'm trying to get to nigeria this christmas but i havent booked my ticket yet and you know how prices start getting ridiculous around this time. Well, we can only pray...

I BOUGHT A GUITAR!!!

I mean my fingers are calloused and i still cant play Kumbaya smoothly to save my life but after 7 years of broken promises from my parents i have gone out and bought myself one. For those of you who dont know, I name my inanimate possessions, and her name is Jessica...fiery red, 6 string beauty...she's a STAGG. However, i dont really think teaching myself is working out. I think I might get me a tutor...but that will have to wait...I have an exam coming up.

On a low note, I havent written in a while. Hopefully I'll find the time soon to sit down pen in hand but for now, well...we'll see.
