english / welsh accents

I was at a dinner part at some friends' house a while back tried to catch some accents on video. What I ended up getting was mainly a bunch of people eating, but in between the bites of food I picked up a few accents, and it was nevertheless entertaining.

And even though Im sure they're gonna kill me for putting this on the blog, here it is... (sorry guys!)

quiet in the village

The semesters over! and all's quiet in the student village right now. Most of my American friends have left for good (miss you guys already) and everyone else has gone home - well except for my asian homies (its too far for most of them to make the trip), and one Canadian girl. But thats pretty much it.

So, Im using this time to catch up a bit on the blog. I've been kind of ambivalent about the whole blogging thing in general, but I've gotten comments from a few people on the lack of updates, and by the looks of the counter at the bottom of the page, at least a few people have been checking it out (or accidentally clicking on it, which I guess is entirely possible), so I guess I'll keep at it for a while. I'm planning to put a few postings up here pretty quickly, if not tonight then tomorrow. There's lots to blog about, here's a glimps of what's to come...

- there's the trip to Mallorca, Spain a few weeks ago
- the pictures from the 3 London trips I've taken so far
- the dinner party video that I took to try and capture some of the different accents
- the story about the Londoner and the African that we went clubbing with in Picadilly Circus
- and the picture of my flat mates that I've been meaning to throw up on here, so you can see who I'm living with - actually why don't I just throw that up now...

Here's me with Ben and Stacey (aka my little welsh sister) on the first night we all moved in back in September...
