Laundry: Crime Scene
March 5, 2013
This week the laundry became a crime scene as my toga outfit launched a vicious attack at my Alcatraz fancy dress. The Defence (bright red-orange scarf pictured below) pleads “not guilty” but the evidence provided by The Prosecution in the form of newly dyed pink stripes is pretty concrete. Was it intentional or just plain …
Theatre is Life
Theatre is Life! At least it is my life at the moment and was most definitely last week; well theatre and musicals. I was ridiculously cultured last week come to think of it … Let me explain. Two weeks ago my friend and I were fortunate enough to be given the chance to co-produce and …
Sleep, glorious sleep.
March 3, 2013
Oh sleep, wonderful sleep marvellous sleep glorious sleep! My body is crying out for sleep. A small splashing of sport and a dollop of illness has seen my craving for sleep reach an unbelievable peak. All throughout my life I have been the type of person, who wakes up, rolls out of bed (not literally) …
A Postcard from Slough
Lugging my heavy pink flowery bag to campus on Thursday may have implied that I was headed somewhere exotic after my afternoon seminar. Well, you would be right.

My oh so glamorous life
February 26, 2013
And so passes yet another week in the oh so glamorous life of Beca. A week of wandering spatulas (later found down the back of the tumble dryer), feeling about six while apologising to someone and some pretty amazing jitsu last Friday resulting in pain… nothing new (I should really learn not to hit people …

Hidden Gems
February 24, 2013
Spontaneity. Is a beautiful thing. (That suits a David Attenborough voice don’t you think?) I was lucky enough to spend this weekend with my girlfriend but in typical male fashion I hadn’t come up with any concrete plans for the weekend. So Saturday afternoon came and a friend tipped me off about a deal. 2 …
Very Interesting People
This week I promised an interesting blog. Well…I am going to Barcelona in the summer with my family, I have become addicted to the programmes Parks and Recreation, watched Uma Thurman try and Kill Bill and I have just made a hot chocolate. That pretty much sums up the interesting aspects of my week. I …
