magictreehouseWell I don't know what I was moaning about really as the flat warming party was great, really fun stuff. I think there were ten of us in total - Simon, Rich, Bev, Sarah, Charlotte, Amy, Laura, Jay and then us too. Wine was drunk and food was eaten and it was quite nice to actually have more than two people in the flat. Board games were indeed played including Jenga, Disney Trivia Pursuit, Pass the Bomb and Articulate. Articulate was especially hilarious as it's amazing how much you can describe using the word 'penis'. Who knew?! So yeah, it was a big hit really. I think I only won Pass The Bomb though, which is better than nothing. We then headed off to Baja which turned out to be great. It was Charlotte's idea and I think she was a little annoyed that there weren't more people there. Me and James thought that this was great as we had the dancefloor to ourselves and we got all of our requests played. Brilliant. It's funny what turned out to be good to dance to. La Roux - not so good, Lady Gaga on the other hand is very good. I'm a bit of a fence sitter when it comes to the Gaga but the middle 8 of 'Just Dance' is my favourite thing ever, and there are pictures on Facebook to prove it. The last song of the night was Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' which I not only requested, I also got to show the world my Single Ladies dance. I can die happy.
On Saturday we were a little worse for wear so we didn't do a lot. The weather's been pretty good (up to the freak thunderstorm on Monday afternoon) so we sat on the balcony and played Trivia Pursuit and Boggle. Good times.
Then on Sunday Bev drove us plus Charlotte to Eureka! in Halifax, a, errrr, children's museum. It was fun though, even though it was totally geared towards children. I wouldn't have been as fun if it was just us two though, so yeah, it was worth it if just for giant Connect 4. Funny how we didn't learn anything at all though. Give me a 'proper' museum any day. Again the weather was nice so we ain't dinner (lovely vegetable chilli) outside and then had an ice cream on the grass later on. Halifax seems nice. This is good as I'm applying for a job there at the moment. So we shall see.
So yeah, a good weekend overall and it was nice to do something social for a change. Other than that, we've watched a few films of late. Firstly, 'Transformers' which I wasn't that keen to see I have to say. However, I really enjoyed it in the end. Confusing at times though, mostly since some of the robots look the same. It was nearly as stupid as I thought it might be though, surprisingly. The other film we watched was 'Nanny McPhee' which reminded me a lot of 'Penelope' in the sense that it was a bit of weird kids film. I really enjoyed it though, and not just because I want to marry Emma Thompson. It looks great, the kids are great and finally - Angela Lansbury! What's not to like?
