By this time tomorrow I'll be on holidays. I'll be sitting in the Olivier theatre, watching Once in a Lifetime for a second time (with some old friends from King's College Nutrition Department.) I'll be making plans for my mornings, my empty Winter days. Until then, it's a matter of looking productive and letting time go by.

Kevin has a workshift from hell today: he started at 11 AM and will only be back home around midnight. I promised him dinner leftovers and a massage. He is working on Christmas eve and New Year's Eve as well. The pub is charging 8 pounds for NYE, though there's nothing really special planned. Kevin told Natalia and I to find something else to do that night since he would be too busy working to join us. Still, I feel as if I have to be there, if only to share a pint with him on his 15 minute breaks. Also, if we get drunk, it's only a block away from our apartment.

We watched Downfall last night. The movie was impressive, though I wasn't convinced in the end that Hitler's secretary was unaware of the extermination of the Jews. She was his secretary, after all. I had always been under the impression that nobody really knew what happened to Hitler's body, but the film (which appears to be based on the accounts of various people surrounding him) makes it very clear how his final days were played out. I was convinced.

My stomach hurts like gut cancer right now. I might have to visit the nurse downstairs for some peptobysmal. I read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens these past two days; it was the first time I read something of his till the end. There was a twinkle of a tear in my eyes when Scrooge awoke on Christmas day, reformed and ready to bring happiness to the people around him. I had to quickly bat it away in case someone else in the Tube noticed it.

Did he make a good impression?

not sure, exactly. he's very quiet and a little standoffish at first.
