Spinning: Lily Allen - Everything's Just Wonderful

Okay, I'm still hooked on that song. It's just annoyingly relatable right now - what with not being able to get a 'flat' because of 'bad credit'. She sings in a verse,

"Do I feel all right/ No, not slightly / I want to get a flat, I know I can't afford it / ....(unapplicable portion)... / It's very funny ... / I know I won't get it just 'cos of my bad credit / Oh well I suppose I musn't grumble /I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles"

Oh dear. I wonder where I'm going to live during my University years. I've got no place to stay in! Heh. I guess I gotta thank Mabel for pulling out all the stops and helping me out this time. Thanks babe!

I was feeling pretty down the last few days because of above mentioned issue (Why me? Am I that lousy? Am I really THAT unlucky? What's next? etc etc.), but a gastronomically sinful experience at Max Brenner's @Esplanade easily dissolved the un-happy-ness into nothing-ness. No pictures, though; sorry - I didn't bring my camera along. And even if I did, I'd be too busy tucking in to bother. Heh. Amazing chocolate. And as the site proclaims, "...all you have to do is ... love chocolate". And it's hard not to, because it's been proven that chocolate can lift your spirits. Everyone needs a shot of chocolate, everyday!

And to facilitate future shuttling back and forth between hostel and home (I'm being optimistic here!), I bought a Sony Vaio - one of those lappies in the C-series. Style and functionality rolled into one. I like. It was a real bargain at $1799, with a free upgrade to 1GB RAM+other miscellaneous freebies. Muy Bien! And yes, that was another thing that eased the pain.
