Jokes

Whoa, guys! I'm actually writing for the second day in a row! I figured, I'm in England right now, so why not write about things? Besides, if this is something I want to do in the future, I should probably practice. Probably.

I am normally a person who makes TERRIBLE jokes or has terrible delivery or timing, but will still laugh at my joke while others roll their eyes or groan or even fake laugh (but it's okay when they're my friends. Or is it? DUN DUN DUN!), but lately, I think I made some good jokes! For instance, last night, a friend from uni and I were watching the stand up comedian Michael McIntyre (or check out this video and try not to laugh) and he made a joke about someone mistaking a BLT to mean bread, lettuce and tomato. In that case, a G&T would be a glass and tonic, right? So we were laughing, and earlier I had asked her if people called others gits, to which she replied that you wouldn't call people of your generation a git, but you might call an older person a git (if you were trying to be rude). "Grumpy old git" is a phrase they might use to describe an old curmudgeonly person like that. So if a G&T is a glass and tonic, a GIT might be a glass, ice and tonic. Could you imagine walking up to a bartender and saying "I'll have a GIT, but it better be old and grumpy!" Okay, maybe it was funnier back then.

Then today my friend was separating the water from her spaghetti, and I asked if she called the device a colander or a strainer. She said she usually called it a strainer, but sometimes referred to it with the former term. I replied, "Strainer things have happened."
"I guess the truth's strainer than fiction."
"Have you seen what I consider the two best movies? Pirates of the Caribbean  On Strainer Tides, and Strainers on a Train."


Haha PUNS.

Just a Few Recommendations

So I'm still studying abroad in London (for those few followers out there) and I wanted to just write something. I have a blog, too, but I didn't feel like studying or writing on that. 

Here are some things I recently read/watched/heard and I would like to recommend them to you!
The Divergent/Insurgent series by Veronica Roth. My friend/roommate said I should read them a while back, but I didn't have time and didn't have money to buy them, but recently I read them on her Kindle and they're very good! If you liked the Hunger Games, you'd like this book series. 
The Hobbit: close to the book, stunning visually, great acting, great action scenes, good comedic bits, some pretty attractive dwarves, enjoyable story line etc. Just go see it. 
Skyfall: Better than Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig is hot, a throwback to the sixties sort of and just a good time. 
Infinity scarves: Never know how to wear your scarf? Do I loop it or sort of tie it? The infinity scarf solves all your problems! Or, as they call them here, a snood. Also, I know these have been out for a while, I just haven't bought any until sort of recently. 
Nutella: Because that's always enjoyable. Ain't nobody that don't like Nutella! (+1 for those who read that sentence like Eddie Murphy)
The Hobbit soundtrack and War Horse soundtrack: AMAZING MUSIC. So beautiful. Just listen. 
Fingerless Gloves: because why not?
English Breakfast Tea: SO GOOD. If you like black tea, that is. If not, I can't help you there. 
Michael McIntrye: He's a British comedian, but he's really funny. 
Fuzzy socks: When, in the history of ever, has anyone ever put a pair of fuzzy warm socks on their cold feet and said "This is not helping my problem. I am not comfortable or happy." Plus, you can do that Risky Business scene if you want! Moonwalking is a lot easier with soft socks and a "slidey" floor. 

And that's it for me! If you have any recommendations for me, comment with them below and I will consider them and have a good Christmas!
