I read my friends facebook status and said 200 pounds in my head instead of dollars...



I would like to start by saying, I can't believe I forgot to mention the man with the pipe the other day. Allan, Miriamme, and I were waiting for the bus, and this man walked up, stopped directly in front of us, and lit his pipe. I had never seen a person smoke a pipe before. It was so crazy to actually see. Anyway, today I got up to go to Primark with Jason and Christian. I got up early, so I wouldn't be the typical girl and make them wait for me. I went down stairs to wait for them, and finally Allan came out the door. He informed me that Christian had just gotten out of bed, and Jason was still in bed. Oh the irony. So, Allan, Rodger, and I ended up walking across Hyde park to Primark, where I found many wonderful and cheap things that I bought to keep me warm. Then we made our way to the Tricycle Theatre where we saw Twelfth Night. It was...odd, but funny. It was done like a rock concert type thing, but I didn't really understand how it connected. Also, they brought out two boxes and pizza and passed the through the audience. I stared longingly as the box of pizza traveled down the row in front of me, and I received none of it. After the play, Brianna, Lexy, and I stopped at a quaint little restaurant. I got this thing...this big, yummy, filled with spinach thing. What it is called, I do not know. The lady didn't speak very English very well, but it was good. It was also so large I had to eat it in two sittings. Then we came back home for a bit, where I think I took a short nap. You when you fall asleep and wake up, but you can't really tell if you fell asleep or not? Maybe that's just me. Anyway, then Brianna and I went to see Psy. It was an acrobatic show about mental illnesses. It was pretty sweet. My favorite part was the guy on the seesaw being launched all over the place (he had multiple personalities, or at least his character did). I really liked when he pointed it toward the audience and told them to raise their hands like he was going to land there...then he magically flew forward instead of backward that time. Also, on the way to theatre, we saw cute little elephant statue (different from the painted elephants popping up all over), and some strange singing man came over and stroked the elephants head for a few seconds while were standing right next to it and then walked away. After that, we had to take a picture.

  2. That thing that you're eating makes me want to eat something similar. Like maybe one of those chicken bakes you can get at costco. Or a calzone. Mmmmm...
