AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back! Things are about to become extremely complicated because my school year is about to start and more importantly: SNL is about to start. Fortunately for SNL I have opting into coming to school and our early so I can do that 10AM scenes without missing school. However, because of my obligation to attend classes I must MUST not film the Boosh during week days. I know horrible.
Today we filmed scene 6 (we have scenes 1-9, 11-12 done) which was on the magic carpet...very un-magical. It's basically a big block that later turns into a flying carpet. I've never felt so green screened in my life. Although at the end of the day we got to jump into a ocean-making machine and it was AWESOME. Very cold though, very, very cold. Tomorrow should be interesting. We're filming a quite sexual scene and-OH I DIDN'T TELL YOU DID I.
Noel and I got into a huge fight. Like....huge. Well, it wasn't really a fight. I came home from filming a bit later than he and Noel was...quite drunk. Tried to do things he wouldn't have if he were sober and things got pretty bad so I called Julian from his peaceful slumber with his kids and asked him to help and he came rushing over, knowing that something like this was bound to happen eventually. I stayed at Julian's for that night and I am staying there again tonight. In the scene today I had to cling onto Noel for dear life and everything was fine. I mean we got things done quicker because there weren't that many different takes because we were more focused but...I think things are fine. I'm mainly staying at Julian's tonight because he wanted me to. So, I figure since he wanted me to I might as well. Give Noel's couch (TIAL) a break.

Monday's Post
Because Paul is a merciful director I do not have work today or tomorrow! Which is good and bad I guess cause I love being with Noel and Julian and Rich. You know it's unfortunate really that I don't hang out with Dave and Mike more often, it's just Mike is always with his wife and Dave....well after that whole drunk-experience with Dave things have been a bit awkward so he kind of stays away from me and I sort of just say hello in the hallways and do my job, which is to act as his friend. It's not that I don't like Dave it's just he can be very interesting at times. His jokes are a bit off color and some of the things he says bothers me. It's not like I'm going to make a big deal out of it, it's just the reason why I might no spend my entire day with him.
Julian on the other hand I freakin' love. AND he is basically married and has kids and STILL has the time to go and be a fun party-er and STILL has the time to be multiple characters on set (unlike Mike who refuses to be anyone but Naboo).Rich I have already touched upon, he's like that psychotic uncle who always gets you the weird gifts that you think you hate but then you put your potato-alarm clock next to your bed and immediately you feel awesome. I got a haircut today! Just a trim though, and the Boosh hair-lady (Gemma) had to do it because Paul didn't want to make it look different. It looks brilliant though.
Spent the whole day with Julian. It was amazing, another sweet day of relaxation before work. We walked around and had a nice lunch. Holding hands while walking on the boardwalk in Reading. Ah, love that boy. Picture of the day is of a party that all the Strokes and I went to after the Reading and Leeds festival.
Tuesd-Oh Wait This One's On Time
Unfortunately I did not get to see Julian (my bofriend) today. He's in Chicago for some interviews and what no, AND SPEAKING OF INTERVIEWS...! Today I was on Alar Carr: Chatty Man! Here it is:
A:Take a seat. Christina you came down those stairs quick!
C:I did, I’ve been called the road runner before.
A:You’re fast!
C:Quick wit to match.
A:…And sexy.
C: Woah woah, I wouldn't go that far.
A: I love your hair.
C: Thanks just got it cut actually! Just for you, speaking of just for you... I got you a little present actually. Where is it. [looks around]
A: Oh. Christina you’re scaring me, what are you talking about!
C: Hold on, where the hell did it go?? Oh wait a second it’s here.
A: What are you doing?!
C: I told you, you nut I got you a present.
A: Really?? You shouldn’t have!!
Crowd: AWWW!
C: [giving a weird look at the crowd] Thanks? Here, it's a handmade bag. I made it myself!
A: Oh my god, Oh my god. Oh my god Christina, I'm gonna look like you!
C: Haha, we'll take the world by storm.
A: Look at that. It's brilliant I love it.
C: Oh but wait, there's more! I feel like I'm on an infomercial. [looking around] product causes cancer...you must be 18 years of age or older to buy...ah ha! Here.
A: Oh my god, look at that. This is lovely. Thank you so much. Aw that’s really thoughtful! Hahaha! Now this show, The Mighty Boosh, are you a main character?
C: Well, yeah, I'm not the awesome duo but we are trying to turn it into a trio.
A: Yeah. Now, are there a lot of jealous matches goin' on? Like you just fight a lot,[makes a voice] a’right, what you looking at?
C: No, we went through a rigorous batch of therapy, so we’re all good now.
A: All right. So you never argue with Noel?
C: Nah, we…we…we get into it sometimes but we are so…I think we just understand each other really well, we have a great friendship so… [looks at the public] AWWWW!!
Crowd awwws.
C: Yeah that's right gimme your love.
A:Yeah, oh yes. Now did you receive much love as a child? I know you were in an orphanage but....?
C:Not really no. I mean, I did from my other fellow...orphanagers. You know it's funny, I use to call them my siblings but looking back on that I feel kind of weird calling them that. I know it sounds awful but I was basically their mother. I fed them, changed their diapers, gave up my clothes so that they could be warm. Life's tough, I'm just so blessed to have this life now.
A: What’s this orphanage like?
C: Hell. It's basically if you lived in a gutter but just happen to find a really nice piece of cardboard to put over your head. But if you don't mind sharing it with 15 other people you should be good.
A: well I don’t actually, I don’t! Can you give me directions to this orphanage!
[Christina laughs]
A: Let’s take a look at your other show, Saturday Night Live. [clip plays of a few bits from SNL]Wow.
C: That last one there was written for Bill Hader to play. I begged them to let me do it.
A: Wow, they’re amazing look at your fans!
C: Haha, not mine, well some I'm sure are mine but not all.
A: You like to get a bit interactive I see, with all the stunts..
C: I do, yeah I don't like the idea of stunt doubles. It just makes it seem like you're cheating the audience.
A: So tell us about your stage kissing, so you ever get.. .touched inappropriately?
C: No not when you're being televised and you've got a lot of producers and directors on your ass if anything bad happens.
A: Aw no fun.
C: I know, but I do find it funny when costumes and make-up want me to look like a slut, a lot of the guys on set get really flustered.
A: Basically you’re rubbing it in their faces.
C: Haha I suppose. I do ask in advance to not be placed in those positions though.
A: Aw, what a lady. Can you imagine? I would love to see that claim in court. I was distracted by Christina Essenelle's rack that's why I got into the accident! I want 10 000 pounds! God! Well that’s nice that you cover up cause no one wants that… no offense you’re a good looking girl but you know what I mean.
C: No Alan please, explain more in depth.
A: You wanna watch the show, you wanna have a laugh, you don’t want to get…tits in your face. Or do you? I dunno I'm not playing for your team! No but you don’t, do ya? Look at this crowd, ‘yeaaa’, bastards…
C: I mean the shows are really, really fucking crazy…can you say fucking?
A: Oooh yeah, and cunt!
C: Seriously? I love BBC!
A: You can’t say that, we can’t say that, don’t, this is live!!
C: Oh haha, I swear I'm the most gullible person in the world. I was up in Lake Ilumtiln and one of our boat guides told me there was a fish named gullible. I believe him.
A: You know I had a pet shark when I was your age.
C: Really?
A:Wow, you really are gullible.
C: Oh dammit! See, I'm the worst. It's because everyone is so nice I just assume it's real. Which is so weird because I've grown up in a "walk-it off, everyone's a liar" kind of mindset, haha. But it's only helped me on sets.
A: It’s absolutely brilliant though, I mean there’s so many good scenes you were in.
C: Yeah, I’ve got some good ones. Musical ones.
A: You have. Something really grim happens to you though. Not in the scenes but in real life. You died!
C: Yeah that was madness. Ah well, he's dead now.
A: Cos you were beaten to a pulp we heard. That's so scary! Oh and we’ve got a clip of you in Saturday Night LIve which is absolutely brill. You’re a coke addict!
[They watch the clip].
A: How did you get on with Andy Samberg?
C: He’s a very funny man.
A: Yeah. But you remember last year when he had a go at that man? The lighting man, do you remember when he had a rant on the set of Hot Rod?
C: What! I have no recollection of this.
A: [makes growling voice] You asshole!
C: Hey now just because-!
A: No no that's what he said.
C: Oh........gullible remember?
A: But was he like that on the set of…cos he had an axe in his hands, he could’ve [been] like: [growling voice] Hey Christina! Walk into this!!
C: [growling voice] I don’t walk into your set, don’t walk into mine!! Haha, you know I think he’s a great actor, he was probably working his ass off and he was probably tired and someone was annoying!
A: Oh well it happens doesn’t it.
C: Who the fuck are you lookin' at.
A: Cos you’re a method actor as well aren’t ya.
C: Well you know, I appreciate a good challenge and I’ve taken a lot of really physical roles...haha.
A: I have to say. I just thought about sex.
C: I have to say. I just looked at your penis.
A: Well, enjoy the ride! [Christina laughs]
C: This is magical...it's like riding on the coat tails of a majestic inch worm...
A: You do hang out with Noel Fielding too much.
C: Hey now, he's a good mate. He just has a lot of interesting ideas. HE'S AN IDEALIST!
A: Doesn't mean he's not batshit crazy.
C: I see your point a challenge you a high-five.
A: [they high-five] Well do you know what Christina, it has been absolutely lovely talking to you, good luck with The Mighty Boosh, sounds like it’s going great anyway…
C: Thank you, you’re so funny and so sweet, they sent me your clips to watch and I couldn’t stop watching and I was looking on youtube and they were so great, I loved the one you did with Mickey Rourke, I thought that was so funny…
A: Mickey Rourke was so great when he [went] Hey you’re a funny cunt! That’s what he said.
C: Well maybe it should be traditional, so you’re a funny fucking cunt!
A:Take a seat. Christina you came down those stairs quick!
C:I did, I’ve been called the road runner before.
A:You’re fast!
C:Quick wit to match.

Sunday's Post
We were filming all day again, fortunately we got out early (5PM). LEEDS FESTIVAL WAS YET AGAIN AMAZING.
As was Julian.
As was Julian.
Saturday's Post
Today's day started at 8:30AM (a nice new start considering yesterday's was at 5 in the morning) and went an hour north to a horseback riding ranch for our next scene! Paul got very frustrated today because it was very hard to comply with the safety regulations, and to get the perfect shot. Noel, Julian, and I were suppose to be bare back and so whenever the lighting was perfect we'd have to quickly get off the horse, take the saddle off, then shoot. The lighting was the most difficult thing in the world because there was a massive thunderstorm coming and it almost rained on us. Thunder literally hit every minute and Paul was about to go crazy with all the pauses we had to take. We had to lovely lady guides who guided us through our forest-y adventure. Although things got awkward when one of the girls mentioned that she was so happy Noel and Pixie hooked up because she then had a chance with him...gross. My horse's name was Yankee (ironic!) and Julian's was Rum, and it was demonic and black. Mine was beautifully whitish grey. Picture of the day is of Noel and Julian pre-make-up and hair, on Julian's supposed horse, then he got a different one. Great day! Went to the
READING AND LEEDS FESTIVAL
saw The Strokes (obviously). It hurts so much to only be able to see Julian for only a few moments. I wish I could see him all day everyday, but that could literally never happen unless I had no job, school, or friends. It was good to see him though.

Friday's Post
Today we filmed some more and Noel and I got to water-ski! In the scene we're suppose to be pulled along by dolphins with Mohawks so we're going to superimpose that on the boat we had later in post-production. It took Noel and I both an hour each to figure out how to water-ski by ourselves, and then another hour to learn how to water-ski together. Noel got a bit jealous of the instructor when he was practically on top of me every time I fell over. Which I can't understand because I'm dating Jules (my boyfriend) ! Other than that, it was a very hectic day. We started filming early at 5:30AM and then continued through till 2:12AM. It got to a point where I was told to lay down and pretend to sleep (last scene of the day we were filming) and I just actually fell asleep. Quite humorous. Noel fell asleep at around 1AM but I feel like that was on purpose to show Paul how exhausted we were. Freakin' Rich practically had a free day, however all of his scenes were being done on Saturday so I wasn't that jealous. Picture of the day is of Dave at around 4PM, he just crashed, and it's hot inside that suit, and it's hot here at the Lake! 91 degrees today. Second picture is of Mike at breakfast.

The Joys of Having a Kindle
This is going to be impossible but I do have a Amazon Kindle and I love writing on here however it is very difficult. We are on location for these next few scenes. Which is very new because we almost never shoot on location. We are at Lake Ilumtiln staying at the Lake Ilumtiln Resort and Spa and we are staying here until monday. It was only a 2 hour drive here, and it is so breath takingly beautiful here. The resort is right on the lake and the great thing is that from London Reading is a few hours away but from Lake Ilumtiln it's only a short drive away. yeah don't think I would not see The Strokes I already miss them a ton. To get Noel in the pumped for the concert Iv'e had The Strokes on blast all day, except when we are filming of course. We finihed scene 2 early hence why we went location scouting for scenes 7-12. I actually don'have the schedule for filming (aka which scenes are which number) so I'm doing a bit of guesswork on this one. However I' pretty positive it's 7-12. The rooming is a bit awkward and cramped, a double bedded room for Julian, Rich, Noel, and myself. Then Dave and Mike are sharing a king size bed and they have Paul and Jeff (producer) with them and a lot of the crew is cramped in another room. HOWEVER we do have a hair stylist on our couch so I'l be looking good this weekend. hehe. Okay time for filming more. Wish me luck!
Day 40 {The Mighty Boosh}
Alright my computer is literally about to die and go into a start of shock and death so I'm typing as fast as I can but right now it is 9AM and I am on the Boosh set right now trying to get into hair-n-make-up BUT they have locked the doors, I'm not sure when i'm going to get my computer fixed but I will get it done soon. Today we're supposed to be filming scene 2, since it's only 1 long scene we should be able to get it done. Julian isn't coming on Friday but instead I am going (with Noel, Julian, Dave, and Mike) to the Reading and Leeds festival this Saturday and The Strokes are head lining it! WOO EXCITEMENT! Only I have backstage passes though, mwahaha. 10% battery left. Oh lord. Alright so today's scene has more awesome Noel n me bits and ALSO I get to be in a funny hilarious scene with Kirk, Noel's nephew on the show. HA! It's actually really funny, I asked Noel to do a funny bit with him because I just think he's the most adorable thing ever, although he's a bit older now from series 3 he still is absolutely wonderful. Plus he gave me a big hug this morning and said he was excited to be here with me SO, I'm very, very excited today. Paul says that I can't scare him away though, oh Paul, you always know when to say the weirdest things. 5%, geez. I hope I get this fixed ASAP but I feel as though I will be so busy with The Strokes that I won't get this done until next week....ah well. Alright shit I really got to go, Alright I love all of you, look in headlines to see if I'm dead. You're all wonderful individuals, thanks for everything, see you soon.

Day 39 {The Mighty Boosh}
Alright now it's all Boosh all the time. However my computer is getting sick sadly. So I may have to revert back to my pen and paper...or QUILL and PARCHMENT I should say. Yesterday they started filming episode 5 and finished scene 1 then today we filmed scenes 3, 4, and 5. They're very short scenes but Paul was insistent on us doing 45 takes on them, all different. The scenes are also little flirty scenes between Noel and me so I had a lot of different things I could do. After filming the first scene perfectly we went straight on to doing the second scene and that didn't go as well in the beginning because as we were getting our hair/make-up done Julian blurted out that while I was gone he had been snogging this 16 year old girl. Um, ew? That really disturbed me because I thought Noel had a little bit more class than a 16 year old. That's just gross to me, and I know that sounds so hypocritical because there is such an age gap between Julian (my boyfriend) and me but between Noel and her? That's 22 years. Julian (my boyfriend) and me? 12 years.
Big mother fucking difference.
Just got back from a party with Noel and Julian. It was kinda intense. It was one of Noel's "I'm gonna dress up and if you don't do it with me you'll look like a retard" kind of parties so the three of us dressed up. It was crazy, if you weren't drunk it wasn't fun, and I was so....it was fun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIAN!
Since episode 4 is done and they're jumping immediately into filming episode 5 I saw if I was being filmed today. I'M NOT. So I did some magic and wound up in NYC. Haven't seen my apartment in forever...well, I was in Julian's first. Snuck into bed with him and when he woke up he was so pleasantly surprised. Plus I had streamers going all across the room and I literally just took a bucket of sparkles and threw them around the room. But that was just the beginning, I made a few calls before I left for NYC and I got Mario Batali to cook us breakfast and lunch. That was the coolest thing in the WORLD. Jules woke up at around 11AM to me and then Mario was already cooking by that point. Although I did feel bad for him because Julian's little kitchen really only has a stove and an oven, nothing fancy that Mario is used to. But we still had some pretty delicious omelets and toast and then for lunch we had chicken Caesar salad. It was all done-of course-in record timing. We had to pack the lunch portion in the fridge as we thanked Mario. He was very, very nice and his food was incredible! Thanks again Mario. At around 1PM Jules and I met up with the rest of the Strokes and Ryan and went to a baseball game! Jules loves baseball.
Jules and I had a lovely picnic in our room.
We went out to the store and got it.
And it melt....like a GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH!

Day 38 {The Mighty Boosh}
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN WIIG!!!
It was a airport nightmare getting to London. So Jules and I got on our Miami flight and it was supposed to be Jules got off and went to his transfer flight to NYC and I was to stay on the plane because it was a connecting flight to London, oh but NOOOO that would be too easy! So instead they flipped the gate on me and Jules and I had to get off the plane, take an airtrain from station 1 to it's last station and make our way to the gate D43 and his was D49. But wait, that doesn't sound too hard does it? Well because of weather delays we came in an hour late, so we had 10 minutes to make then flight. Wait that STILL doesn't sound too difficult, oh no they threw in ANOTHER curve-ball. They direct way to get to the gate after getting off the airtrain was closed OFF so we had to weasel our way past some other gate to make our way in. RIDICULOUS.
Eventually I made it to my gate and said goodbye to Julian. The flight to London wasn't that bad but I was in between two snorers so...there was that. I landed in London at around....7AMish and Noel grabbed me in this too-tight-yet-I-haven't-seen-you-in-a-while grip and it was nice. I thought I was going to get in earlier (around 5AM) and be able to sleep for a little bit so I literally went back to Noel's and stole some of his clothes (it's easier to throw on his clothes then weed mine out) and went straight to work. Today we finished filming episode 4 by filming scenes 2 and 8. In scene 2 it's the song and I have the most ridiculous costume, I am a lemon seed...yeah. I have lots planned for tomorrow, just you wait I've been ringing everyone in the entire world.
Oh by the way

Went to Planet Hollywood for dinner and got to further embarrass Jules by announcing his birthday on the big screen. hehe. Poor Jules. The people @ planet hollywood were kinda obnoxious. Every 10 seconds was "cab we add your picture to our wall of celebrities?" "Do you have any SNL/Strokes memorabilia?" "Can we put your hands on the wall?" "Can we have your autograph?" "Can we have a picture of you two kissing?" "Can we have a quote for our wall?" I twas ridiculous! Food was great though, ah well. You can't win 'em all. Although we got in w/ no reservation immediately so I felt good. Jules and I did get our picture errected on the wall. After we walked around and shopped. Got a cool necklace and we split a sundae. It was sitting in front of the empty stage resting my head on Julian's shoulder how much filming is gonna suck.
Oh Jules

Yo yo yo. Today is Saturday and I called up Noel today @ around....2PM. Had a good chat. Today we woke up ! around 11PM and I had horrible, horrible dreams about Julian. I woke up to him not next to me as well which really freaked me out. Alas he was just in the shower. I get so worried over these stupid things. haha. We decided not to go to the water park b/c if there were thunderstorms (which there were) the whole park would shut-down. To the pool it was! It was great, nice and cloudy. I koala-ed Julian all through the water and he then jumped on my back like a LOVER. Morning, noon, night, WOO! We're going out for a nice dinner soon. I'm excited but...the prospect of leaving to London is now looming over my head. My flight is tomorrow at...9PM? NO 7PM. Then Jules' flight is @ 5PM so I'll be at the airport for 4 hours! WOO! I'm sure I'll write 3 pages of crap in here. I'm going to miss Julian so much. It's going to be an impossible feat continuing with the boosh. Don't get me wrong I love the Boosh. Just Julian more. Ah well I'll surivive...I hope.
Love Always,

Went to MGM (Hollwood Studios) today! Woke up to Jules playing a song for me. Probably b/c last night was so adorable. I called for room service previously and got Jules and my usual. Then we got to MGM @ 9AM nad went on (throughout the day) ToyStory, Tower of Terror (X2) Rock n' Roller Coaster, Star Tours, Muppets, Back lot Tour, Beauty + the Beast, History of Mickey, Indiana Jones, etc. etc. etc. On star tours they get a person from the audience to be the "rebel spy" and it was Julian! haha, I am ANGRY @ Rock n' Roller Coaster NO STROKES MEMORABILIA?!? Shame on YOU Toy Story was awesome!!! I still beat Jules 106,000-99,000 Mwahahaha. I tried to be an extra in Indiana Jones thing but I was not picked...ah well. Okay so the people @ Tower of Terror are DEVILISHLY FLIRTASIOUS. There was Chris @ the elevator entrance and Michael @ the gift shop and Dillon ! the opposite elevator entrance. They were really funny though, made Jules all insecure though. I started to pour again @7PM but stopped for FANTASMIC!
which was fantastic
Jules kissed me every hour on the hour today.
Why am I writing like this?
Who knows
I love Disney

I have so much to write and no time to write it! Yesterday I could've died happy right then and there. Jules and I went to Disney World > Magic Kingdom. It was so happy and momentus and teeming with life that it really was the happiest place on earth. Probably because it wasn't as hot and humid as it should've been. It poured...for HOURS. That is no exaggeration it poured 1st for 20 minutes then again for 3 1/2 hours. THAT IS MADNESS. Let's start from the beginning. Woke up @ 8AM ---> went to breakfast, Julian had to talk to the hotel about timeshare stuff (?) and I was trapped in this humid rental car for about an hour. Jules forgot to gimme the keys and I thought he'd just be in-n-out. Unfortunately he was not. The timeshare guy; Jeff kept talking to Julian about the randomest crap and talked about it in excruiating detail. He will now be known as "Jeffrey the Jerk". Eventually we made it to Magic Kingdom and went on EVERYTHING. Space Mountain (X3) Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Buzz Astro-Blasters KICKED JULES ASS (378,000-22,000), etc. etc. etc. We did make it a goal to have A LOT of fun on the rides. Space Mountain times 2 and 3 were the BEST I don't think you understand + that's good but Jules and I had a lot of fun...Jules slightly more than me. Since it was pouring they didn't do the light-parade which I was a little miffed about. But the fireworks + castle-light? Amazing. Disney really outdoes itself it's ridiculous. Jules kissed me during the finale and said he loved me. Which contines back to home. Ah, that was amazing. So raw, passionate, like the beginning. I love Jules so damn much. So much....ah, I will never be able to describe it to anyone. It's just love.

Jules is taking a shower right now so I got some alone time. Not that I need it. So, today we got up @ 7AM and got coffee + donuts (doughnuts?) then went to Island of Adventure @ Universal Studios! We went on the Hulk Ride, Spiderman, Fall of Doom, Hippogriff Ride, Hogwarts, Dragon Challenge, Sinbad Adventure Show, and other rides that I can't remember. Lots of Fantastic 4 stuff. OH LORD. Harry Potter World was THE COOLEST. I don't mean temperature wise b/c it was hot as hell, although it did start to thunderstorm so all the coasters closed for a bit. (it burned off). We had lunch is Seuss-Land and dinner @ the 3 Broomsticks. While on line for the Hogwarts Castle ride someone pulled out a video-camera and started to interview us. Jules politely said that we were on vacation and that an interview is the last thing we wanted to do. They kept pressing for one so we just runed our backs to them. Ugh, I felt bad. I would've done it still. Jules has been in this fan-biz for way longer than me. So he knows when to give a damn and when not to. Amusement parks are apparently that location. HPWorld was definitely my favorite place. They had performances from the lovely ladies from Beauxbatons + the men from Durmstrang. Also they had the frogs sing w/ students. It was awesome. I got a few things from Zonko's, Honeydukes, Ollivanders, and Owl Post.
I wish I could live @ Hogwarts
Sincerely,

P.S.
I've read all the books and seen all the movies @ 12AM. I know me my Harry Potter.

After the airport Jules and I went to Dunkin' Donuts for some bagels n' coffee and then we went to our hotel. We have a kitchenette and a lviing room and a huge bedroom! We used that immediately. After that we walked out to our rental-car and drove to Disney's Animal Kingdom. It was spectacular! And hot. It came to a point where I turned to Jules asking if I was hallucinating the crazy heat. It's RIDICULOUS. 104F today. Ugh. And it's only Tuesday. We saw the Lion King Festival and it was AMAZING. There were so many acrobats and fire-jugglers and dancers my head was going crazy w/ intense-shit overload. Then we went on the Jeep Safari thing which was really cool. Got some sweet pics w/ Jules n' a gorilla. Then we went on all the bird/reptile/fish/THING walks/treks. Saw Albert in animal form (a tiger who just did nothing) then we got food (a.k.a. hid from the humidity) and went on the yeti ride (AWESOME) waterride (meh...not as soaked as I wanted) and then we also went on the Dino-ride (ALSO AMAZING) then on the car ride (@6PM) to Downtown Disney. Jules fell asleep while I was driving so I had a cute-gasm before I exited the cool-air conditioned car. In Downtown we went to a cool Swarski (sp?) crystal place, got some Ghiradelli (sp?) chocolate, and then ate dinner @ the Dinosaur Restaurant Adventure thing. Since Jules' birthday is coming up (and I am woefully unprepared) I made them all sing him Happy Birthday! He was so embarrassed and was giving me a look of ("oh-you-bitch-but-I-love-that-you-did-this" hehe now we're in bed exhausted and tomorrow is even MORE adventure!
Love you Jules

Day 27 {Summer Tour}
Happy Monday! No Boosh filming this week so I'm spending today in Japan and then tonight at 11:30PM Jules and I are going to the mighty depths of hell. Also known as ORLANDO, FLORIDA. I talked to Noel this morning
NOEL
Hey where are you?
CHRISTINA
I'm going to the States for the week.
NOEL
What?
CHRISTINA
Yeah Jules and I are going to Orlando Florida on vacation.
NOEL
What about the Boosh?
CHRISTINA
I'll be back Sunday night!
NOEL
...what about me?
CHRISTINA
What do you mean?
NOEL
I haven't seen you in a week!
CHRISTINA
I know I miss you Noel.
NOEL
Then come back.
CHRISTINA
I already have a ticket.
NOEL
Come on, come back to me.
CHRISTINA
Noel I'm sorry, I'll be back on Sunday I promise.
NOEL
You betta.
CHRISTINA
(laughs) You know I love you, get over yourself.
NOEL
Bitch. Love you.
CHRISTINA
Yeah yeah.
I do miss Noel. He's a great person and I've been spending every single day with him so it's not like I'm playing him or something. He knows I have an obligation to Jules, so....yeah. I do really really miss Noel...like...really really. Oh Noel....I miss the partying and laughs and Boosh weirdness. I miss dressing up in the costumes room and having bubble fights.
But I have Jules so, ya know.
Life's good.
Wish us luck on our flight we're flying into thunderstorms! I don't think I'm bringing my computer on the trip I'm flying it to Noel SO I will be writing all of our adventures down and then I'll photoscan them on the computer. TA DA! I found a solution to my no computer problem. I'll see you all in a week, love you all, I'll see you guys soon!
Grow Up
Hey guys it's Jules. Please ignore my deranged girlfriend. She thinks that she's being pampered by me which is not true at all. I would never spoil a girl, everything between me and Christina is 50-50 and even if I do give her something awesome like a trip to Florida she'll pull this and force herself to pay for everything. Which is not happening. We're a team, money is such an object and has nothing to do with our relationship. I just don't want stupid magazines and what not to think that she's getting pampered and getting everything she wants because she is the most selfless person I know and she literally has told me that she'd do anything for her friends or family. And by family I mean her close friends. She's extremely generous and conscious of the kind of impact money plays on people's thoughts. So please, don't be a dick, and leave her alone.

Day 26 {Summer Tour}
Day 9: Favorite Strokes' song: I can't just choose one so I'll choose 4 from each album: Barely Legal, Hard to Explain, Someday, Modern Age (Is This It?), Under Control, Reptilia, Between Love and Hate, I Can't Win (Room on Fire), Ize of the World, Heart in Cage, Vision of Division, Juicebox (First Impressions of Earth), River of Breaklights, Out of the Blue, Ludlow St., Glass (Phrazes for the Young)
(flight to London)
I am so beyond happy right now. I woke up this morning with the laziest attitude. I know I didn't say it but The Strokes played the Summer Sonic last night and they're playing again tonight (it's Sunday by the way). I was getting a lot of emails last night and a lot of them were edited pictures of the picture of the day from yesterday. My favorites were "Hey baby how bout we go set this room on fire" or "why don't you come under my cover of darkness" or "so...now that we're alone-together". Those made me laugh the hardest, I love The Strokes fanbase. They're so fucking funny!
Oh right, back to my awesomely lazy morning. I woke up, Jules wrapped around me, and previously Jules had been saying that he had a surprise for me. So I got up out of my comforting grasp and went to our little kitchenette and made everyone eggs. I love waking Jules up to food, it makes me feel like a good girlfriend because no matter how horrible it is he always loves it. So I woke him up, we ate, took a shower, got dressed, met everyone downstairs, went out to the city to walk around, then we went back to the hotel and went swimming. We had a nice swim, I love fooling around (playfully not sexually) with Fab and Albert. They're like brothers to me and they like to throw me around in the pool. We played chicken as well, me on Fab and Nick on Albert. I lost. I legitimately thought I could win too because Nick is pretty weak but when he wants to win he just smacks the opponent down. After the pool we all took showers and then we went out to dinner. It was another great time! I really missed The Strokes when I was in London. It's great seeing Julian every weekend but seeing all the boys together is even better. I think I missed Nick the most. He's my best friend, my rock, my partner in crime. I love that kid. Every moment that I wasn't with Jules I was with Nick playing stupid games on people, doing little funny pranks.
Then after dinner Julian and I went back to our hotel room and he told me to sit on the bed and close my eyes. Then when I opened them he was holding two tickets to Orlando, Florida. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's taking me to Walt Disney World, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, City Walk, MGM Studios, EPCOT, and so much more. Julian......I can't even tell you how much I love you. You do all these amazing things for me, and I wish I could give you more. You have no idea how much of an asshole I feel while dating you. Which is why I'm not letting you visit me anymore in London and which is why I'm stealing your wallet away from you so that I can pay for everything in Florida and so that I can visit you in New York City. You do so much for me, and now I really need to give back. I love you so much, and I don't want you to think I'm a freeloader. Love you lots......................................

Day 25 {Summer Tour}
Day 8: How you got into the Strokes: dating Jules. (this picture is from a while ago but I figure I'd put something here since most of the Strokes challenge has pictures)
I am in TOYKO! I got off the plane at around 12AM (Tokyo time, 4PMish my time) and the customs guy was talking to me for a bit and it was funny, he was saying how much he liked SNL and then he repeated a few lines I've said on the show but it was hard to be fully embedded in the conversation because right behind him I saw Julian (remember summer tour Julian is my boyfriend) smiling up at me. He knew the pain of wanting to leave a fan when you want to stay and thank them so much for basically making you famous. I don't consider myself famous but I am popular. To be honest I was surprised someone knew of me in Japan! Actually the paparazzi is ridiculous in Japan. Lots of people with cameras and it's kind of insane. Especially when I passed the customs guy and got to Jules. Julian is the best at giving hugs, he has such a tight embrace and it gave me this butterfly-in-stomach/nostalgic feeling. It was comforting to be in his embrace. He's literally the best thing that's ever happened to me, never doubt my love for him. I was reading a psychology magazine and it says that a crush/relationship that lasts more than 4 months is love. Because mentally you shouldn't be on something for over 4 months. That's why they say if you like a job for more than 4 months it's the job for you. By the way, I just checked, Julian and I have been dating for 11 months. That's insanity. I've never dated someone for nearly a year...ahh!
Albert, Fab, Julian and I went biking through Tokyo today! It was actually a lot better than I expected. Ryan, Nick, and Nikolai went somewhere else. Wish I could be of more help but I don't remember what Nick said as I was running out of the hotel. By the way our hotel is gorgeous. Just saying. I had such an amazing day today and it made me realize how beautiful everything is. NO I'm not high, everything is just going my way today. At around 8:30PM Jules, Nick, and I went ice skating. It was a lot of fun, and it was a lot of weird Japanese DDR music, but I liked it. I don't know if I mentioned this but I'm a pretty good ice skater, me and Nick used to skate at the Rockefellar center and I've skated with Seth and Jimmy before. I love skating, Julian has gotten really good at it too, he can't do any tricks or anything but he can skate around. Nick was definitely the worst. There came a point where Jules' would just hold his hands behind his back and drag Nick across the rink. I was well jealous.
The picture of the day explains my life.
It explains the night we had.
It explains his subtle sexiness.
It explains why I love waking up in the morning.
It explains his love for accessories.
It explains why I'm always late for school.
It explains what I looked like when I took the picture.
It explains why we got new sheets...and pillows...and
It explains why I love him.
I am in TOYKO! I got off the plane at around 12AM (Tokyo time, 4PMish my time) and the customs guy was talking to me for a bit and it was funny, he was saying how much he liked SNL and then he repeated a few lines I've said on the show but it was hard to be fully embedded in the conversation because right behind him I saw Julian (remember summer tour Julian is my boyfriend) smiling up at me. He knew the pain of wanting to leave a fan when you want to stay and thank them so much for basically making you famous. I don't consider myself famous but I am popular. To be honest I was surprised someone knew of me in Japan! Actually the paparazzi is ridiculous in Japan. Lots of people with cameras and it's kind of insane. Especially when I passed the customs guy and got to Jules. Julian is the best at giving hugs, he has such a tight embrace and it gave me this butterfly-in-stomach/nostalgic feeling. It was comforting to be in his embrace. He's literally the best thing that's ever happened to me, never doubt my love for him. I was reading a psychology magazine and it says that a crush/relationship that lasts more than 4 months is love. Because mentally you shouldn't be on something for over 4 months. That's why they say if you like a job for more than 4 months it's the job for you. By the way, I just checked, Julian and I have been dating for 11 months. That's insanity. I've never dated someone for nearly a year...ahh!
Albert, Fab, Julian and I went biking through Tokyo today! It was actually a lot better than I expected. Ryan, Nick, and Nikolai went somewhere else.

Day 24 {Summer Tour}
Day 7: Favorite picture of the band
It's technically Day 25 at the moment because I'm writing this on a plane to TOKYOOOOOOOOOO! Anyways, this flight is ridiculously long, and I can't stand the crying baby two rows over and there's a guy next to me who is reading everything I'm writing. YES I CAN SEE YOU. He just apologized. Now I feel like an asshole. Now he laughed which means he is still reading. Ah well, you can't win everything. Noel almost cried when he dropped me off at the airport, I laughed saying that I'd see him soon. It's interesting, there is no filming all next week because Paul is going on vacation and this is considering Noel and Julian (Barratt)'s writing time, however I don't think they'll get that much done to be honest. Noel's got ADD like no other. Julian (Barratt) will probably get it done however. And he always writes the songs. Anywho I should probably stop writing because I don't want to bother people with this blinding light. Toodles!
Day 37 {The Mighty Boosh}
Day 6: Favorite picture of Nick
(back in January when Nick and I went shopping)
(back in January when Nick and I went shopping)We filmed scenes 3 and 7 today (both of which I am in!) and also tomorrow I leave for Japan! I would've left tonight but there are literally no flights going in until 6:25AM. Ah well, I was talking to Jules today we might take a random trip to Lincoln, Nebraska just for funsies. God knows what goes through my head to think "Oh Nebraska, fun vacation spot no?" Although we might change it to Cheyenne, Wyoming...yeah I don't know.

Day 36 {The Mighty Boosh}
Day 5: Favorite picture of Nikolai
More filming today. We only filmed scene 6 today, another scene that I am not in unfortunately. So today was another sit around and chill out with the props people (/bother them while they're acting) and I really like this episode, maybe I'll get to title it as well. Paul has an apparent respect for the way I act and portray that on film. He was telling the difference between Andy Samberg and Paul Rudd. They're both funny, but Andy only in 4 minute increments and Paul Rudd only in 30 minute increments. Which I thought was kinda funny. Oh Pauls.
Since I was really tired from Thorpe yesterday I decided to take a 5 hour nap during their filming. And since I was so tired I didn't get to tell you the excitingly weird things that happened. We went on literally every single ride, and by we I mean the 4 of us. You heard me, when Noel and I got to the park we went on a coaster and came off with these two Italian boys who didn't know a lick of English and didn't know what to do or their way around the park. They didn't even know who we were! That sounded so superficial it hurt. Anyways, these two kids (Mattia and Federico) were so darling, we spent the whole day with them. Every ride, every arcade game, their basically my new friends. I have their numbers and they texted me in Italian this morning thanking us for the amazing day, or that's what google translate told me at least. I'm thinking of applying to college and I'm writing a few essays. I'm excited to apply! Not sure if I'll get in or whether I'll actually go but I'm thinking about it, I mean I took SAT prep courses for a reason.
Day 35 {The Mighty Boosh}
Day 4: Favorite picture of Jules
(at a cafe in Amboise)
Last night Noel became an asshole for about 10 minutes. So I was sleeping in my usual place when Noel comes up to me seriously saying that if I want to continue being his friend I should stay in a hotel for the remainder of filming The Mighty Boosh. He said that I could pick up my things in the morning but for tonight he suggests I find a hotel. I get defensive and angry and leave. Inside the elevator (knowing the Julian has kids and I would not want to bother him at 12AM, knowing Mike is married, and knowing Dave is way to eager) I call Rich up to see if I can stay there for the night. No answer. Exiting the elevator, face streaming with tears, I see Noel with a big grin on his face. Shaking my head in absolute disapproval I smack him across the face, choke out another sob, and leave the complex. I'm just too pride of a woman. He then follows me down the street
This morning I woke to not the usual 7:30AM alarm clock but the 8:30AM alarm clock. They filmed scenes 4 and 5 which only involve Rich and Julian so Noel and I decided to go to Thorpe Park! By decide I mean Noel felt it necessary for a day of theatrics and thrills and fun. More on that later because we're going now!
Time Elapse: 23 hours
It was literally the best time of my life. I got a Robin Boy Wonder plushie.
My life is complete.

NOEL
Christina I was joking! Come on get back here.
CHRISTINA
(turning around) Noel you've took things TOO far! That wasn't funny, now leave me be.
NOEL
I'm not letting you go Christina.
CHRISTINA
I'll lock you out.
NOEL
Christina you're being ridiculous come on back inside.
CHRISTINA
Noel, you need to learn what's funny and what's not. Don't you think I've overstepped my boundaries as a house guest enough?
NOEL
What? No. What're you talking about? Will you please just come back inside?
CHRISTINA
Forget it.
NOEL
(grabbing her arm back) Like I said I'm not letting you go. Not any further at least.
CHRISTINA
Why's that?
NOEL
You're about to enter the slums.
CHRISTINA
Yeah like you live near the slums, lemme go.
NOEL
(he grabs her upper arm and brings her into a forced hug. She fights back but realizes that despite his fragile feminine frame he is in fact very strong) Shhhh...don't fight it. You know I'm stronger than you.
CHRISTINA
Noel I swear to God...
NOEL
(in his grasp he drags her back to the flat without suspicion) Now was that so hard? Go sleep.
CHRISTINA
You're ridiculous.
NOEL
You're impossible.
CHRISTINA
You don't know when to give up.
NOEL
You should know damn well that I never give up.
CHRISTINA
Persistence is the key to a women's heart.
NOEL
Have I won yours?
CHRISTINA
Hell no.
NOEL
(laughs) Good night Miss Essenelle.
CHRISTINA
Fuck you bitch.

Day 34 {The Mighty Boosh}
Day 3: Favorite picture of Albert
(dinner date back in January)Since Julian and Noel were only needed for the morning half they served as annoying distractions for the vocals and choreography. Robyn (the choreographer) did kick Noel and Julian out though. They were loudly telling jokes and stories to each other about the way we dance. Which is so suckish cause I am a horrible dancer. Rich is hilarious, he's so willing to do anything and willing to learn the moves I really do admire and aspire to be Rich Fulcher. He's an incredible improv-er, actor, comedian, and overall person. If I had half the amount of awesome he had....I'd be...I dunno...ridiculously awesome.
Picture of the day is of Rich right before vocals.

Day 33 {The Mighty Boosh}
Day 2: Favorite picture of Fab
Did I already say that my nose surgery was off? Well it's not off, it's delayed. Anyways, Jules left today. I am sad. But I'll see him on Friday when we got to JAPAN!! I'm very excited for that. The funniest thing happened today. Jules noticed that Noel had a keyboard in his flat so he asked if he could play it and he played Glass. I don't know why I got so emotional but I cried while he played it. I know I'm ridiculous. I guess it's because he wrote that song as I was in a coma and was worried to death about me (or so he says, I don't want to sound TOO self-absorbed). ANYWAYS so he played Glass then Noel tried to one-up him with an acoustic Love Games and then Jules played an acoustic River of Brakelights but he forgot a lot of the words so Noel then played Spider Lovin' and said it was dedicated to me and I think that really pissed Jules off, I think he thought that he failed River of Brakelights and just felt like shit considering I started to sing-along with Noel as well. But then Jules' played an acoustic Juicebox and blew Noel out of the water. Then the funniest thing happened
NOEL
Is that The Strokes? You sound just like them.
CHRISTINA
Very funny.
NOEL
What? I said it's a good cover!
JULES
(apprehensively to CHRISTINA) He's not serious.
NOEL
I am it was good do you want me to say I hate it?
CHRISTINA
Noel he's the lead singer of The Strokes.
NOEL
Wh-no you're not.
CHRISTINA
Oh my God.
JULES
Yeah.
CHRISTINA
(getting her computer she types into Google "lead singer of The Strokes" and then heads to images) See?
NOEL
You're Julian Casablancas!
JULES
How did you not know my name?
NOEL
I just knew you were Jules.
CHRISTINA
You need to get out more.
NOEL
(hugging JULES) I have a new found respect for you.
JULES
Wish I could say the same.
It's days like this where I wish Julian Casablancas was a more household name.
