Right. Lets just first of all say
that I, Laura, am embarrassingly, painfully, yet satisfyingly burnt after 2
days of London sunshine. This is firstly embarrassing as I’m now red and I have
a job interview tomorrow morning, but even if I didn’t, its still embarrassing
because you might have to go out in public and then people might see you and
think ‘’LOL, look a white person went into the sun for a couple of minuets and
couldn’t handle it’’, which is so not the case. I can handle sun! But no one
could handle 2 full days of sun after being deprived of it for more than half a
year. Plus its also very embarrassing to
think of the awkward tan lines that I will have created for myself (short and
trainer lines *horror* !!!). Secondly it is painful because my skin cells have
been roasted by the harmful UV rays of the sun. Need I say more to back that
point up!? And lastly, it is strangely satisfying as a sun burn is always the
result of a nice day, and you know that its going to turn into a nice tan. Plus
in London, you feel like ‘’Oh good I’m burnt. That means I’ve made the most out
of the sun or this month as its going to rain solidly from now until July’’
(which it is – according to BBC weather).
But anyway, aside from that, I
watched The Great Gatsby in the cinema. Its about a guy: Nick, who moves to NYC
in the hope of earning himself the life of the rich and successful, like his
cousin Daisy who married a very rich man; Tom, who Nick went to Yale with. Well
anyway, Nick moves next to the invisible, party-throwing, millionaire; Gatsby.
Whom very few have seen, and even fewer actually know. But what is his motive
behind throwing all these parties? And what else happens in the movie? Well of
course I know, but you have to watch the movie to find out :D . Its a film
about love and money. And I think the main moral of the story is that money
can’t buy you love, which is the one thing that would make the slightly crazed
Gatsby happy. So basically its just another take on the saying ‘’money cant buy
you happiness’’, which I disagree with, but anyway, really good movie, I recommend it... go see it! Especially if you
are a Leonardo
DiCaprio fan (because he is Gatsby), like meeee!!
I am a HUGE fan!! I used to think that he was just one
of those lucky actors who got to play a role in a majorly successful film, made
their big break into the industry and then continue with their crap acting
career just because they were now them, and were wanted in people’s films so
more people would watch that film because it had a household name actor in it.
(If that even makes sense). So anyway I thought DiCaprio was one of those, but
actually he’s really not. He’s reallyyy good!! Like Jonny Depp (who I also
LOVE), he can play loads of different types of roles and does them all so well.
That seems such a crap explanation, but how would you describe a really good
actor or actress!? Its hard! There’s just something about them that makes them
really special!! Well yes, that thing is called talent, but acting talent is hard to put into words
or define!!
Then
I went to Carluccio's which is a really nice Italian restaurant serving really
nice Italian food.
The one we went to was on the river side which added to the
relaxed friendly atmosphere of the
restaurant. The entry has a little deli in it where you can sample little bits
of bread in Italian
olive oil and buy or brows fresh, but expensive, Italian
produce such as different types of pasta and oils. We sat at a wooden table
with candles and our orders were taken by charming Italian men, the whole
atmosphere was really chilled and everyone inside seemed to be having a great
time! I ate gnocchi al
gorgonzola (Fresh potato gnocchi with a gorgonzola (a type of cheese) and spinach)
which tasted really good, and was also really filling. I would describe it as a more
relaxed version of Strada or Preto... does that sound good!?
