Zero.

...Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

It's been a while, pretty busy pissing around with bits of uni work, working at my usual sloow pace.
I do now have a temporary free-hosted website alexjones.atspace.com, still needs a lot of work, but think that will have to wait until I get back from Canada as it's gunna be rushrushrush until then!

Recent happenings...
Went to Leeds last weekend, a little visit to Jack's, meeting Tom and Matt there as well. We went to his gig with the Young Sergeants, which was only their 3rd gig so think it was pretty good!


Since then I also had a visit from my mum yesterday, had lunch in town and she treated me to a jacket, which was out of stock yesterday, but alas I popped back today and it was in, yay! :) Gosh full price item in Topshop, I do feel extravagant even if I didn't actually pay for it!


Also, big news for me; Tootsie Roll has landed in Selfridges Food Hall! Beckie bought me some the other day, it has taken me 3 days to run out of that bag so I've had to go back for more, eek!

Finally got round to downloading the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Metric and Maximo albums - so far so GOOD.

Society

... Eddie Vedder
(Off of that marvelous soundtrack to a marvelous film, Into the Wild.)

I have come to the tragic realisation that I am in fact 4 years behind where I need to be and I'm far past the point of return.
And so I will carry on trudging along with what I've set myself up for and will carry on to dream while quietly searching for another way.

Aside from this I have yet again broken my own record for how much I spend on my big Asda shop, although hopefully my £70 worth of food will last me a good few weeks.

Last weekend I took a lovely (6 and a half hour) trip up to St Andrews in Scotland, where my 2 friends Hannah and Linzi are at uni. It's so unbelievably different to life in the city, whereas I walk up the road to find the 'shameless family' sat out on their plastic chairs, Hannah is a minute from the sea and quiet sandy beaches, which Kerry and I agreed is like walking in flour it's so soft.

See ^^ sea right there.
Here's a little bit of how we spent our time...


Savoring a few of the numerous cute cafes scattered around the town, Dutch Chocolate & Ferrero Roche for me yummm


Fancy cocktail bar, Cosmopolitan (left), all fruity looking, oh so misleading. Also went to a few other bars, surprisingly not so many drunken disorderlys I've become so used to living in B'ham and Blackpool. Also went to the student union which is apparently as close as they get to a nightclub, really a far cry from Gatecrasher nights out.

Playing in the flour sand and watching people playing various sports, wishing we were athletic and dreaming up our perfect boyfriends

And of course there was plenty of pretty pretty blossom making the town look ever more picturesque. I took plenty more photos, which I was intending to use in my editorial photography assignment for travel photography, however I fear I may have been swept up with all the other tourists snapping away at all the scenic areas, so there may not actually be much I can use... we shall seee.

In other news I did manage to spend the majority of my 5hour train journeys cropping and resizing images and building bits of my website, just have to figure out how to actually upload it to the web... so simple i'm sure.

Kiss With a Fist

...Florence and the Machine.
Also love the Hospital Beds cover.

I cannot wait for the new series of this.



There's not much that actually makes me laugh out loud on television. I first watched this alone in my room and could not stop laughing. Quality.

Today has been such nice weather, I even took my coat off walking around town. Saturday I saw my first blossom so far this year, we made a visit to Highbury Park, originally we'd intended to go to Edgbaston Park, however we couldn't find the entrance, despite driving around it a few times. But Highbury was nice, we took a mini picnic and came up with the idea of picnic parties once it get nicer, I'm very much looking forward to this.

I also bought my very first railcard today, I've always favoured the National Express due to the guaranteed seat, and less hassle with luggage, but I thought it was about time since I plan to visit some friends in Scotland after Easter and would much rather whiz up on a train rather than a full day trip on the coach.

I hear there's a new episode of ANTM up on youtube. So far I'm gunna say so far I love Celia. I have a friend obsessed with Alison, who I also think is stunning in a slightly scary way. Anyway, on with the next episode...
